Since my emergency room visit just over a week ago, I have been taking it easy at home in a motorized recliner rented from a medical supply store. It’s my bed as well as where I spend the day sitting. The new medication routine has worked well and maintained limited pain. most of last week I spent sleeping 12-18 hours a day. In the past week I’ve noticed a good improvement in my condition and have gained significant more use of my right arm. I’ve been out of the house twice and up daily for about an hour or so, which is enough to get me good and sore. At the moment I’m only takng pain medication as needed which is growing farther and farther apart. I go thorugh fazes of feeling well and then will have chest or shoulder pain. Sometimes breathing is painful or
labored and at other times is fine.
All in all, I’m improving and greatful for all the outpouring of assistance from friends. I will be starting physical therapy later this week for the next six weeks.
I hope to get details about what happened posted yet this week along with photos from my time in Africa.
