It has been a rough few days. I have not felt well, and was afraid that I was either getting a cold in my chest or strep throat. I took Hope to the doctors on Monday, as she was really sick on Sunday with a fever, sore throat and throwing up. She was placed on medications, and then I went to the doctors later in the afternoon on Monday.
The doctor gave me some medications as well, but said that I could hold off on them for a day or two and see if I got any better. The doctor said that my lungs sounded good and although there was some drainage in my throat, otherwise it did not look too bad.
As of today, I feel a little better, so I am going to try to stay off the additional medications.
A bit of good news for my aorta related medications is that I was taken off of one of my pills. I was taken a slow releasing antibiotic in order to avoid any infections, and the doctors are comfortable removing this one from my requirements. I have now settled in to taking a medication and an aspirin in the morning, and then a medication at night.
My leg was starting to feel almost normal, and then a couple of days ago it started acting up again. I have to wrap it extremely tight just to be able to walk without excruciating pain. I still believe that I hurt something because of the adjustments that I unconsciously had to make in walking, etc since the surgery. It is extremely frustrating, because I was looking forward to getting back on the bike. I will have to wait a little while longer to do that now.

Thanks for the update! Glad to hear that the doctors decreased your arota medication. Praying that your leg with improve and you’ll be back on the bike very soon. Your thought that adjusting your walking style may have caused you to hurt the leg does sounds plausable. My prayer this morning is that things continue to improve and you’ll be able to do the things that you need to do. Pray, too, that Hope gets over her cold.
