Light at the end of the tunnel :)

Monday and Tuesday were days where I almost felt "normal". It was great!!! After I took Nate to school on Monday I decided to go for a walk and see how I did with breathing and energy level, etc. I walked 1.5 miles so no where near what I have been capable of in the past, but felt a pretty good sense of accomplishment for getting it done and my breathing was good..woohoo!

After the walk, I came home and did some crunches. I had oodles of energy and really felt like I needed to be "doing" something. It was the first time I have felt like that in 7 1/2 weeks so it was really hard not to succumb. I wanted to just go with it, and keep on chugging by cleaning my house or something. However, my good sense took over and I kept it to a minimum. Look at me go! I was showing restraint..hee hee.

Then yesterday I went out to the apartment and cleaned the carpet. Financially speaking I need to do as much of the maintenance work myself right now. I would normally hire the carpet cleaning done, but since I have not had much income from the them I just can't. My plan was to just clean the upstairs and then do the stairs and the downstairs today, but once I got on a roll it was hard to stop. The apartment is move in ready! It looks great, and now I just need the perfect tenant to rent it..LOL.

Then by last night I was pooped. I probably overdid it a little over the course of the last two days, but it was so exciting to have some energy that I am pretty proud of myself for showing the restraint that I did. I am still pretty wiped out today, but I don't have much on the agenda to worsen things so I am good.

I am actually going to see an acupuncturist today. I have seen her in the past for some things and Nate went to her for his food allergies. I like her a lot, and I am hoping the she can help with the breathing issues and maybe even the high blood pressure. I will keep you posted :)

I just know that I finally have some hope that I am going to get better. I knew logically it would happen but when you are sick for so long it is just hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I see the light, and it's good :)
