The 4th week…

This begins the 4th week of my recovery.  I am feeling better, not much strength so far.  I am able to chew some now but I have lost my sense of taste.  Everything tastes the same to me.  I hope that comes back.  My daughter told me that I am walking a lot better, not having to hang on to her arm everywhere we go.

We had a cold front go through last night and the temp is in the 60s to reach mid 70s today.  This is such a welcome relief from the upper 90s we have had for the last couple of weeks.  September is here.  I love when the colors start to change on the trees.  My header photo shows a picture that I took last fall of the trees on my street that I live on.

I hope you all are enjoying the Labor Day Holiday.  Have fun!  Stay safe and be happy!!

  10. Wow, I sure hope your taste comes back too...that sounds miserable. I do believe you'll continue to get better and that your taste will come back too. Thank God you're getting stronger. It goes from barely 60 to near 100 today for us...I don't much like the unbelievable contrast.

  11. So happy to hear you are progressing well. It has been a tough road. It's nice that the bumps along the way are finally smoothing out. Your fall foliage photos are very pretty. Many of my family members are from Peoria and surrounding area and I always loved to go there during fall to see the changing colors along the road sides.

  12. Just stay the course Beth You'll get there. Maybe some day you could come up here, I'll put you up in the hotel that's only about a half mile from here and Arlene and I will show you some of the local sites. You'd love the North End! Not only would you see some very famous historical sites but you might have the best Italian food you ever had in your life.

  15. Hello Beth
    I am so thank full you are feeling better as I read your blogs I am stunned what you have been through. But we know who holds our hand when hardships come. My daughter in law went through it all last year and she says that her taste buds are slowly returning, and that has been a year. My computer was on the blink and now have a new one and hope to be able to follow your progress. Keeping you in my prayers always.

  18. Hi Beth, I'm so happy to hear you are getting a little stronger every day. It will probably be a bit yet for you to get your taste back (or so I hear). Continued daily thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep up the good work.

  21. Hi Beth, I am glad that you are feeling better. As far as your taste goes, I can relate! I had a case of diverticulitis last year and the smell and taste of food completely turned me off for a long time...months! Continuing prayers for you.

  30. Praying for you that the taste buds wake up and say HOWDY and things will get tasty again. I do know how bad it is to not eat much of anything at all. You do need to get strength back and eating and chewing is part of that. Continued thoughts and prayers for you everyday. The fall weather this week is glorious..I sure hated the heat and humidity. Nice to have the windows back open. Blessings to you dear Sis.. XOXO

  35. Our trees are still green here. I am waiting for those brillant colors that have quite frankly been absent the last few years. Enjoy the cool weather...Feel better.

  36. Soon the cooler weather and color changes will lift your spirits even more. Fall colors have a very healing effect, so when they surround you stand in it as often as you can. It helped to bring me out of a very dark place one time. Let your body shed all those bad cells to ready for new ones to come. Blessing and prayers to you.

  38. So glad to hear you are steadily improving. I hope you get your taste back. We've had some cooler weather for a couple of days and then still cooler nights now even if the temp went back up. Fall is here--and it is a nice break from the heat we've had too. :)
