It was 80 today. Amazing- last week we had over 5 inches of snow. It has been a long hard winter for me. In January I had an intractable sinus infection, possibly pneumonia, possibly influenza - it knocked me flat; I missed 5 days of work and I hardly ever miss work. Even after I recovered, it took me weeks to have any energy, then in mid-March I got the mother of all kidney-bladder infections. It took 3 tries before an appropriate antibiotic was found and by then it had had 10 days to really dig in. Even after the infection was allegedly cleared, I was still in a lot of pain all the time. It took a month before I started feeling better. Literally just about 2-3 days after the pain went away, I broke a tooth, there was an abcess, and I had to have a root canal. Unfortunately the pain started during a business trip and it was a miserable experience. The root canal took two tries as the first time it was too painful to complete, so I had more antibiotics and then it was finished a few days later.
I am wiped out. I have no energy. It hasn't helped that the winter was unusually long this year and that March/April were amazingly snowy/icy. I am so looking forward to spring and being able to work in the garden. I did some clean up work this weekend in the yard, and I browsed a couple of nurseries, but it is still a bit too early to start.
I am grateful to God for helping me through all this illness, for the good fortune I had, and am humbly asking his help in getting myself back in shape.
