Go to Trouble With Initials

- Go to A SLIGHT SETBACK
lovelylady, when Liz told me it was 103C....
I had visions of a return to the hospital...but our family doc at the clinic did well getting me back onto the same antibiotic (although I know I can't stay on atibiotics forever)...today my temp has been normal or very close to it all day, so that is good.

FSI, yes, we push ourselves when we're well....
and when we've been sick or had surgery we keep pushing..it takes time to adjust to a new, smaller amount of activities..

TAPS. ...thanks so much....
Yes, I better be good and I think I've learned my lesson - "good is less" - I need to give my immune system ample time to rebuild itself....

CCT, yes, I think I've learned my lesson....
The sensible thing for me to do and realize is the new "normal" amount of activity for me daily has to be much less...

Pat, thanks..thats a good point....
I may not have done anything, but the immune system's been stretched from pillar-to- post over the last month...I'll just try to remember that and also remember the new "normal" amount I can do each day is something to be very careful of...

sam, I guess part of the problem is I don't realize I'm overdoing it...
Pat has a good point - my immune system's been pushed for the last month and now it really doesnt take much to "do too much"...I definitely need to remember that...

I have a tendency of pushing myself as well.

Sorry to hear you have had a setback Rumour, nothing ever goes perfectly. I'm sure you will be all right if you do the sensible thing.

So lucky to have someone to bundle you up
and cart you to the medics. You may not have overdone anything -- the war between the bacteria and your body is ongoing, and your immune system's a bit overworked these days. So the doc sent in reinforcements, and you're winning again. Charge!
