Recently I was got to ride in an ambulance, not that I remember much of it.  I had been feeling sick for a few days and then it hit me sideways how sick I was.  After my ambulance ride, I spent the next several days in ICU and have now been released to home care.  I am eternally grateful that I am still able to continue in this life as I am not ready for the next.  I am blessed that I have been given another chance to prepare for all things that might come sideways at me.

Due to my illness and now recovery, everything has slowed down for me.  My balance is off, my strength is weaker and my brain is still very fuzzy.  Everyone says to rest since it is best.  Well, I have rested and rested and rested until my arse hurts.  I have MS so my recovery could be a little slower but at the same time, I am home, alive and on my way to what my normal was.  

So next time, I am feeling just a little sick, I guess I will call and make the appointment to see doctor.  Seems like it can take up to two weeks to get in - WTH is that?  If you are feel sick now, two weeks can make a huge difference.  Although in my defense, this hit me sideways in a matter of days and hours, over a weekend.  

Today is my followup with said PCP, ten days after my release.  And they scheduled me for end of day appointment which is difficult since that is not the best time of day for me, energy wise.  It is also close to when I have to eat so I can take my medicine.  My best hope for the appointment is that some of the questions about what happened can be answered in addition to what meds hospital was giving me.  

So what ever it was that hit me sideways, also set me back a bit in my "work".  I am trying to get back in the go of it, but it is taking me longer.  Today is a new day and I will rejoice in it.  Even though, I can't do everything I would like, I can do more today than yesterday.  That gives me hope for tomorrow.
