Pray for me

[Johnna]

Pray for me. I have a stomach bug or else its something I ate. That's all normal for getting sick, but yesterday I also had a bout of dizziness as i sometimes do when ill. And on top of that i had an extreme hot flash. Patrick heard me calling and came in to get me, but as he was reaching for me to help me keep balance, my body just turned to liquid (ofc not literally, but that's what it felt like) and gently poured me onto the floor.
Patrick wanted to help me up, but the tile was cool and i couldn't get up because of sheer exhaustion.
So i slept there a few minutes until i wasn't too hot anymore and when i still didn't think i had the energy to stand, i butt scooted to my room and slept on the floor there for a few minutes before finally getting back into bed. I have never had anything quite like that happen to me. I just didn't have energy.

The amount of fatigue I have right now is terrible, but at least i can get around.ive switched from cane to walker in the meantime.
I do not know where this fatigue has come from, if its part of the flu or something else. I was told i need a note for work since i called off today.
So im here in the er to get looked at. Waiting my turn to he brought back.

Praying for you girl! Let us know what they say. I wonder what it is

[Johnna]

They did a blood count and metabolic panel, they tested for Covid and influenza A and B but all that looked good.
My urine sample showed bacteria. I'm picking up anti nausea as and antibiotics. Staying home from work tomorrow. By then, the antibiotic should have kicked in.

[Denise]

Hum, is that all they found? If so, that is good. If you like cinnamon eat plenty because it kills bacteria. Let us know tomorrow ow you are feeling.

[MarieT]

is the hip ok? after the fall (and given the hip procedure you had done not long ago.

take things easy and rest well
praying for your recovery

[Denise]

I forgot about the hip surgery. I guess it is because she never complains.

[Denise]

How are you feeling today?

[Johnna]

My hip is fine. Its almost as if I was cradled to the floor when I fell. The fall didn't affect it one way or the other. The one that needs replaced always bothers me more when I'm sick or exhausted, but that had nothing to do with the fall.

I don't think i actually have UTI because i wasn't given the proper tools to get a clean catch. But I'm taking the antibiotics prescribed just in case.

Also, it might not be influenza, COVID-19, or anything that showed up in their tests, but i did have some sort of virus, because Mary, Sam, and Max were all vomiting last night. After some googling, im thinking maybe it is norovirus. But whatever it is, I'm exhausted but much better. I'm hoping to go back to work tomorrow. I can't stay away forever and I'm only scheduled 4 hours anyhow.

[Denise]

Glad you are better today. I pray for your family who seems to be ill now. Keep us informed.

[Johnna]

They're slowly getting better. Sam went back to school today and max will return tomorrow. I am still tired, but expect to be better tomorrow.

[Denise]

Just take it easy. Maybe consider offering your suffering up for the pope.

[GayleW]

Hi Johnna, wanted to let you know that I have been praying for you and your family. You know, it's almost as if your Guardian Angel lowered you to the floor so you wouldn't get hurt. I am glad to hear that it sounds like you and your family are on the mend.

Gayle

[Johnna]

Thank you for your prayers! It is good to see you here.
Maybe my guardian angel did do that. It was definitely not how I would normally describe falling or passing out. There's probably billions of things I will be thanking him for that I wont even know about until eternity.
