O.K. I am going to try posting again

[Guest guest]

I am feeling better, but will stay in until I finish all of my medicine and if I still don't feel up to par, I'll stay in more. Hopefully when Eddie goes back to work on Monday, I will at least be able to take Max out on the leash. Today we tricked Max into thinking it was night. When we close our curtains in the living room (very heavy material) it is so dark. Max went out at 7:30 am before Eddie went to work, then Max wakes up at 1:30. I played with him until 2:00 or when Eddie got home.

My TV spot was on our local tV station last night. I was so impressed that they talked a lot about pulmonary fibrosis. That news show runs 3 times every evening, and I watched all 3 times. I had no idea that they would do this, I thought it was about nutrition and a, the dietician would answer a question that I asked. ( a is the dietician in my exercise class.) They even referred questions to the PUlmonary Fibrosis Foundation, so I know they looked it up on the WEB.

I am posting this again because it did not work the first time, don't know what happened. Thanks for all your prayers & concerns. My sats are some better but not yet down to where I was. It was very scary passing out.

Calling the doctor's office is a major hurdle as you all well know. The clinic I go to in Chattanooga has new ownership and it is worse. The first time, Eddie called & left a voice mail because he was forwarded to the doctor's voice mail. I got to thinking about it. I sure did want to start taking that anitiviral right away before it was too late. So later in the morning, I called. The clinic operator got an explanation from ME that I had the flu and pulmonary fibrosis. Click! The nurse answered the phone. About 12:00 the other nurse, who sits beside the one I talked to, called and said that I needed to come in. Eddie told her it wasn't even possible because I couldn't walk without drops in sats.Then Eddie told her I had just spoken to the other nurse. Dealing with all of this makes us even sicker.

Toodles!
