Antibiotics x three, who's living the good life!?!

Antibiotic number three is working. Yaaayy (there is NOT much celebrating). I still have the metal taste in my mouth! I was fairly alarmed to see that I already had it a month ago! It usually only lasts a few days! Ok. Don't freak out.  Just because it is still there, doesn't mean it will always be there! I counted the pills I have left to take still, and it was really depressing. I put off going on the third dose for a couple of days so that I could go get this pain shot that I would be reeaaalllyy sorry to miss. I was too worried about how my stomach would be, and decided that it was worth putting it off.  The only reason I regret it is that I still have so long to go. 

I was about to say that there was a silver lining, and there is. I just could really imagine the silver since my cheek tastes like I have a penny stored in there. Sigh.  
The silver lining is that I'm VERY motivated to go hard core on the Wahl's protocol. I managed four cups of produce today, thanks mostly to to a very cold smoothy. I made it very cold so that it would have less of a taste. It made me chuckle a little to realize that four cups seems so easy.  

I read a few of my older posts to see when I started this infection, and when I looked back I saw that my post about being ghosted and restarting got a lot of views. That makes me laugh. I'm pouring my heart out about something that most people wouldn't want to read. I'm sure most, if not all of those "views" were people who didn't read much!! Dating with multiple health problems. Yep. Page turner.

It was inspiring to read that and to see how I'm still doing the things I started. Well, I mean I have had to pause a lot of it for now, but I still feel like I'm dedicated to my new life!  I haven't been with any relationship since the ghosting. I'm tempted to look back and see exactly how long it has been, but I won't. I don't want to get discouraged. I don't think about dating very much, or maybe I should say that I don't think about it as much as I used to. Maybe I'm just getting old. It's still one of my goals though. To fall in love with somebody. I'm using the word with meaning that they love me too. At the same time. 

I've started doing a physio exercise to build up my endurance, I think he called it. It is really difficult to see how little I can do, but I'm just trying to focus on the fact that I'm doing it at all! You can't build up strength if you never start. Honestly though, I think most of those who know me would be pretty alarmed at how little I can do. But that's OK. I'm only telling you, invisible reader.
