Thick rain

The rain came down as snow and melted.  It was cool enough to discourage outdoor activity.
Solar Bug
I worked on Christmas Cards, Far Guy worked on his latest wood carving.   I am making progress and so is Far Guy.

 I had a nice nap!  I am feeling less exhausted...finally...I still get chilled easily and my warmed up corn bag is such a delight!

This week Wednesday will mark 30 days since Far Guy began the fungicide for the fungus in his lungs.  The medication interrupts his sleep and makes his vision "funny"  so he takes it at 3 AM and 3 PM before his nap.  He no longer wheezes and he can walk to the mail box without stopping.  His oxygen saturation has come up nicely.  Small improvements but improvements none the less.

    So good to hear that both of you are feeling better. I'm sure Far Guy is thankful for this new med. It must be depressing to feel so ill.

    The snow fell here again overnight. Sadly, I may have to pull out the snow shovel. :(

    Thank goodness for any improvements! It must be a pain to have to get up at 3:00 AM each night. I hope he doesn't have to take this too much longer. The solar bug is great!

    Good news that the fungicide is working for FG. I should find out how to make one of those bags you heat in the microwave ( obviously there's corn in yours). I wonder if you made your own. I've read that it is important to put a mug of water in the microwave when heating the bag or it could start burning. Do you do that?

      Yes I made my own, and no I just put it in the microwave for 3 minutes...sometimes it does smell like corn cooking:)
