Improving

Today has been a big improvement over yesterday. I was sick with thrush yesterday. It was coming on Wednesday, but I didn't notice the symptoms. It was causing a bad taste in my mouth and making my throat so dry. I even got a vitamin painfully lodged in my throat because it was so dry. It took forever to get it down, and finally after drinking lots of water and massaging my throat it went down. It was painful! My mom was at my house yesterday and I felt so bad that I couldn't get out of bed, not even to eat. The Home Health nurse (She is so nice!) called to check on me and when I told her my situation, she suggested some things to help. She called the doctor and got me a prescription that has really helped me. I feel so much better today. I am able to eat and drink and get up, so that's a big improvement.

One other improvement for my surroundings was that when my mom came, she brought me new sheets for my bed. They feel really nice, but the best part is that they are not yellow. My other ones are a mustard color that I liked until I got sick. With my jaundice, it's just not a good color for me. These new ones are cream colored and they are great.
