I remember when that used to mean party time to some people.
Not me of course. Just some others who did that kind of thing.
This week it means dealing with coming off an unsettled week of fronts moving through which meant different reactions in the lungs.
It also means some serious workouts schedules to get things moving in a definite direction.
Later on in the day, perhaps along with a weather change that was coming through, my situation changed.
The air became herder to come by and I spent the entire night seated at my PC. There is no attempting going to sleep at a time like this as the o2 simply does not reach the lungs.
Friday night and all is peaceful here at home.
I am s l o w l y feeling better and have been able to fine tune some living necessities to make my life easier and more stable. Getting these cheap standard heat controls to give me what I want temperature wise. My house is cooler than it used to be, but my breathing is much freer and consistent.
Today being Wed I was able to a little more settled back at home.
After the visit from the Nurses yesterday I was able to calm down a bit.
You may not fully understand what I am getting at, but basically it is good to know that someone will be stopping in from time to time for checking vitals, etc. It's my hope that with them stopping plus the monitoring unit they are bringing I might head off getting something that will send me to the "Big House" for a while.
My Physical Therapist stopped today also and we have restarted my exercising. Granted we are back to the start again, but I feel that once I get through the funk I always have from the Antibiotics that I will be well on my way to getting back into shape.
Last Wednesday after I made that posting, I started to go downhill. Now, anyone that is close to me knows that my Medical situation can change in an hours time. This night was almost that case.
That evening and throughout the night my breathing became very difficult. I stayed up most of the night getting at best 30 to 45 mins rest early in the morning on Thursday
Tis the middle of the week.
My Therapist visited today and gave me a few more stretching exersises. These are all from a standing position and I can see how they will help build some of the muscles in my body. Or should I say condition the muscles better for me to build them up.
It has been a moderate day for the breathing. Tomorrow will be better.
I am slowly getting my burst of Prednisone tapered down. I think I will contact the boss and see if I should just continue getting rid of it over the next couple weeks. That stuff does its job, but I just don't like being on it unless I really have to.
Oh well, one more round of workouts to so yet tonight.
Ah, but it's not just any Monday morning.
Today I am getting around for the 2 day trip to Cleveland
The adage of packing light for an overnight stay has not applied to me for many years now.
Seems like I am packing for an Army now.
Since returning from my test in Toledo things have gone downhill a bit.
I woke up Thursday morning with a nose the was running like the proverbial open faucet.
That settled down after a few hours and then the scratchy throat became present.
On the 13th of December I was taken to Cleveland for my second full day of testing and meetings. We had gone over the afternoon before in order to get into our Hotle Room and supper, and then relaxing for the day ahead which was to start at 7:45 AM.
I never did get to sleep this morning. Well about a half hour cat nap around 5:45.
6:30 AM and in comes my PCP.
