TGIF! I'm actually feeling better today, not 100% but better than the last week. I can breathe without coughing, so that's a plus.

My hot water heater went yesterday so I had to shower last night at my father-in-law's house, we had coffee and chatted for a few hours; he doesn't get much company, aside from us and is crippled so he doesn't get out unless we make him or take him out. Don't get me wrong, we're there every day and so are other caregivers but it's not the same as it is for most of us who have jobs out of the house that allow us to interact with multiple people.

On another note, my weight is maintaining and usually when sick I gain a few pounds, probably from the toast I eat to settle my stomach and of course the oral steroid medicine but so far I'm doing good. I'm trying hard to eat as normal as possible and didn't cave to the "I'll just have toast" so I think that's why.

I can't believe how much my body has changed over the past 8 months, I'm 1 lb 7oz away from having lost 80 lbs since last January!

This is the quote that spoke to me today ...

"Our freedom to discipline ourselves, is a freedom we can lose if we don't use it. " ~~ Culllen Hightower

Have a great day
