Almost Back to Normal

Yesterday was my first day without a fever in awhile.  

My breathing is so much easier now, like a weight is lifting on my chest.  

My boy child argues that 'almost' should not be a word.  

Everything is black or white to him.  

Either you are or you're not.  

To him, I will say I'm not back to normal.  

I still get tired walking around.  

Today will be my last day of being one with the couch.  

So many things are getting added to my To Do list and I can't wait to jump in.  

But I am following my doctor's orders (albeit partially.  someone needed to drive the kids to karate) of one week of bed rest and today is the last day.

And because I have a hard time posting without a picture, here is one from last week.  CT scans (at least at this office) are no longer tunnels, but basically a doughnut standing on its side.  My head was out through the hole of the doughnut before my chest even started passing through.

Tomorrow, I plan to be back on the torch.  Cleaning a boat load of beads.  And tackling laundry.  I can't wait!
