Just a Little Faith

I cannot believe it, but already I am falling behind on my posts to my Blog. Oh, I have an excuse I have sick, so sick I even spent the day in bed yesterday. But I should have posted even just to say I cannot post because I am so ill. I am such a whiner. But I must admit I think the day down did me measurable good. I am feeling a whole lot better—some what better today. I am at least up, had a meager breakfast and I am at my computer working on my blog.

This entire household has been experiencing flu or flu like symptom illness. Dianne and Rebecca got smashed by the virus or what ever extremely bad. Fever, throwing up hacking, super hacking. I was kind of spooked. I am 63 now, with a compromised respiratory system—I could die ,DIE from an attack as I witnessed the girls suffer with. However, I got the H1N1 shot this year, as I did last year, and that gave me the faith to stave off the worst part of this disease process. I am not saying if I had perfect faith I could have completely dodged the flu bullet—but maybe if I had enough. Really the worst symptoms I exhibited were some light coughing and being kick butt tired. It seems I have been kick butt tired a long long time but today I am feeling stronger and more fully awake. If I can keep this recovery up I hopefully can return to my routine of volunteering and my workouts Monday of this coming week.

Last night I noted as I looked in the mirror how beat up and old I looked and this kind o disturbed be—I mean I know I am looking old,older maybe but last night I looked flat out ancient and hammered. I started thinking this illness may have been some kind o tuning point—that one point where everyone will whisper to each other at the viewing and later at the wake—Yup he just looked old following the bout he had with the flu back in '14. However this morning, looking at myself I did not look so bad. Yeah I know I am a long ways from partial. Hopefully I am going to see if I can get the cam on this system operational and submit as exhibit for the record.

So onward and upward. My goal today is to get dressed and stay up in my chair till bed time. I need to work on my granddaughter letters and hopefully have the batch ready for the mail by Monday when I hope to be back to my phone at 211, saving my little corner of the world. Its not easy staying upright after spending a couple of days in the prone position. I have to build endurance. I have to build will and best of all I have to start building a faith in myself that I can and that I well that there will be more me at 63...
