Aw, crap

Well, I just got over being operated on and my sister came back from L.A. and she was doing really well. She has lost 33 lbs since moving in with me, in April. I've been setting up her diet and she has be shopping at health food stores and we've been weighing her portions and following the Dr's instructions. We go for a walk every day and I get her to do knee bends and toe raised to help strengthen her legs. I've even got her doing isometrics in her door way, pushing against the door fram.

Well, the first night she was back she asked me in the morning to check a spot on her back. I told her it looked like a spider bite and to change her bedding.

She had put on clean sheets before she left for L.A. and her other set was in her laundry basket. I took them out and put them in the washer and that night she slept in the same sheets.

The next morning her elbow was swollen and red and puffy. I told her, that was a spider bite and we got her to the Dr's. The doc wasn't sure, exactly what it was but put her on antibiotics to fight any infection.

We had to go back to the Dr's today and they changed her meds. They changed them to one that would fight infections that might affect her heart because her blood pressure has been going crazy. I've been giving her Gator Aid because of the potassium in it and gave her a sweet potato for dinner last night.

Tonight she's been vomitting and had the chills, seriously. I built a fire and had her sit next to the wood stove to get warm. She was shaking.
I then went in to make her a cup of hot tea and gave it to her and told her I was going to run some hot water so she could take a shower or bath. I told her that the only way to stop shivering was to warm her body core up so she needed to get in the tub.

She took a shower that was way to short but when she got out of the shower she was still shivering. I wrapped her up in towels, dried off her back and placed two towels around her shoulders and one over her head. I told her to get in bed and took her extra pillows and placed them next to her body, under the sheets. This is a great way to creat heat, from your body. The pillows create a dead air space and the pillows lock in the heat and prevent it from escaping (cold weather survival technique) and had her place her head under the sheet and breathe out through her mouth.

I got her some extra blankets and placed them over her and have been waiting to see if she was going to get sick, again, or fall asleep.

Thankfully, she sleeping. Now I can go to bed.

We have to go back to the Dr's today and they will run some test to see if she needs to be given anti biotics by an IV.

God knows I'm praying about that. Hopefully, we'll be able to manage with out going to that extreme.

I guess I led a Blessed life. I'm an OG so I've been around longer than you and grew up in a much different world. A time when things seemed simpler and easier. Actually time were just as hard today but, back then you had to depend on yourself more than any thing else. You learned how to survive with the little that you had. Thank you.
