So I went to the doctor today, since I've progressively gotten more congested since Wed. It's not strep but some other kind of bacterial infection. I'm on antibiotics for the next 5 days and mucinex to help with the coughing. I've kinda lost my voice and have to talk in 'falcetto' voice since my voice is cracking every time I talk. I've been really tired and cold and generally don't feel too well. I went to the cancer center to get a new sleeve. I like wearing the sleeve because it really does make my arm feel better. I'm so glad they're there and I thank God that Frendell's got very good insurance coverage and they allow me a couple of sleeves a year if I need it. Since lymphedema is constant for me, this is actually my second sleeve this year.
So, I'm supposed to be on a bland diet since I continue to have stomach pains. So I made some sotanghon soup. I had made rice soup yesterday with lots of ginger and that's kinda all I've been eating. The sotanghon soup turned out quite well considering I really didn't know how to make it. I think it would have been much better with chicken broth. But I prefer vegetarian and it was still very tasty. I was told to just rest and take it easy until I feel better. I hope this won't get worse. I really didn't want to get sick before our trip... we're having a snow storm this coming week-end too. If I felt better, i would have tried to make some vegan cookies to eat with tea or hot cocoa. Oh well....
have a great week-end and hopefully next time I log on, my voice will be back :-)
