A Good Day

I just realized that I rarely write a post when I have a good day. If I have an outstanding day, I write. If I have a challenging day, I write. If I experience a situation that gets me fired up, I write. From now on, I would like to share with all of you my small triumphs. With Lyme disease, we have to cherish the times when a drug helps or when we feel good for a few hours. Today, I felt a burst of energy in the afternoon. It felt great!! I was able to read while I was at the infusion center and then a friend surprised me by stopping by my house. I couldn't believe it when I looked at the clock and I realized that one hour and forty minutes had flown by while we were talking. Usually after twenty minutes, I am exhausted. I constantly have to manage how I am feeling and if I am expending too much energy etc. Today, I just simply enjoyed talking to my friend. I had enough energy to forget that I am sick. I love it when that happens. After my friend left, instead of lying down to rest, I cooked dinner. I can't believe it. The IV Rocephin and IV Zithromax must be helping me. I feel so thankful to know that the drugs that I am taking are helping me. For two years, I took multiple oral antibiotics and I could never definitively tell if they were making me better. I love that I can state that I know that my drugs are helping my body heal and therefore I have more energy. This illness is so confusing on so many different levels that it is a blessing when there is a direct link between an action that we take and an outcome that we experience. I am taking IV antibiotics and they are helping me feel better. It is that simple. I don't know how I will feel tomorrow, but today was a good day.
