Update to where I am

I realised that most of you reading this post will not know where I am in comparison to coming out of ICU two weeks ago.

I have gone from walking with a walker just across a room to doing 5laps around the unit, two times per day.

I have completed my physio goals of being able to work my major muscle groups in squats, leg lifts, clam shells etc.

My kidneys have regained their function and my lungs are clear of fluid.

My heart function (which sent me to ICU) has returned to low normal from moderate to severe dysfunction.

I can take care of my personal hygiene.

I can eat most all foods again though I still am working on making my stomach larger.

From my highest to my lowest weight, I have lost 38 lbs.  20 of that is water weight.  The rest I need to gain again.

I feel more balanced and happier and I'm not fearful of everyday.

I have made tremendous strides in my health.  While my counts have not been great, I think the body has been busy trying to repair itself.  Now that I'm in a good place with my health, I am hoping to see better counts.

It has been a long two weeks and the love and encouragement sent my way has really helped so thank you!
