News: Night Sweats Are Us

Bad night ended abruptly when I woke up soaking wet from night sweats.
  A new first in the ongoing health saga that is daily life.  Not feeling strong enough to change bed linens, I changed into dry clothes instead, wrapped in a blanket and slept on the rug on the floor.  Sorry, but it was the best I could do.

Slept another hour, then was up before dawn wondering what the hell happened. Sat on the dry side of the bed sipping a hot green tea, mustering up the energy to change the sheets. 

When that was finally accomplished I was short of breath and just wanted to take a hot shower and go back to bed.  Uh-uh. No rest for the weary.  Labs and appointments at the Center are on the Gay agenda this morning and it's taken all I have in me to get ready for the adventures. 

It's turned cold and wintery again overnight  with morning temp below freezing and winds of 25 mph. and I dread having to go out in it. 

I need oxygen. Putting one foot in front of the other until I can't do it anymore. There's no more to say.

And so it goes.
