Not better, not worse

I haven't posted for about a week for two reasons:  1) My laptop has been in the shop all that time; and 2) I haven't felt up to it anyway. ( The laptop still isn't working all that great, so I hope this even posts).

By about the fourth day after the Bowen therapy, I was seeing some slight improvement in energy.  I actually took a friend to a doctor's appointment and then had lunch.  I have to admit I felt ok during that but as soon as I got home, I was t.o.a.s.t. 

On Friday, I was pretty exhausted but since Jenna has been feeling pretty sick for the last week, she relented and agreed to see a doctor, as long as I went with her.  I ate something and took her to urgent care since her doctor had the day off.  - of course.

We were at Urgent Care for over 3 hours!  She had some blood drawn and throat cultures.  I dropped her off at her apartment and went home and crashed since I was t.o.a.s.t. again.  I probably pushed myself too hard.  I just don't usually have the energy to sit up for 3+ hours and did that for two days in a row.

I got up in the morning on Saturday and felt ok - but after being up for about 2 hours, just couldn't even sit up at all.  Jenna needed groceries and so did we, so Jeff went to the store and then took some over to her.  I still couldn't get up by bedtime, so gave up on getting anything done.  BTW, Jenna has mono - again!

Sunday was pretty much the same thing.  I have tried to get in a shower at least every other day, but it was Sunday and I hadn't showered or washed my hair since Thursday!  So, that was the only thing I accomplished on Sunday - a shower.  Pathetic, I know. 

Monday morning I was scheduled for another bowen therapy treatment but wasn't sure that I was going to be able to drive myself, so had my visiting teacher lined up to take me.  By the time it was time to go to the appointment, I was feeling decent, so drove myself.   I stopped at Jenna's on the way home and dropped off some essential oils and supplements for her.  She also lives across the street from Bed Bath and Beyond so I bought myself an orthopedic pillow to see if that will help my neck problems. I felt ok for the afternoon and even made a nice salad for dinner.  Jeff on the other hand, was in so much pain, he just went right to bed as soon as he walked in the door from work.  I was done for the day about 7:00pm

Today, Tuesday, I was on the couch for about 95% of the day.  Weak neck,really weak right arm, super fatigued and dizzy.
