VISIT WITH PULMO......... Interesting to say the least !!!

[Guest guest]

The game of HIDE AND WATCH !!! hee

I know most of you remember " LAUGH-IN " ???? in the 60's. Remember

Artie (the nazi from the corn field) who used to pop up and

say " VERY INTERESTING " ????????????? yes, indeedy.

PROGRESS REPORT ON MCV AMBULATORY CARE CENTER::::: Now when you go

in to report for your appointment (mine at 1pm) you have to go to a

special computer, sit down to it and fill out all these forms from A-

Z and keep hitting the screen, etc. to make a LONG/SHORT, it took me

about 15 min. All the other computers were people who can't spell,

are on Medicaid, or are not able to do this computer thing. Most in

wheel chairs and I thought it very difficult for them to have to go

through this, but the world is becoming (#) friendly, right?

Everyone is now a #, makes me angry. It wasn't tough for me, but the

screen wouldn't work half the time.

My pulmo, my daughter and I were in his office for over 1 hour and he

said: " Oh! don't rush off " . I couldn't believe it, he likes me.

hahahahahahahha

1. We compared Oximeters. Same

2. levels of oxygen to use, up to #4 is ok when working around house.

3. PREDNISONE: cutting down to 20mg starting tomorrow. Was 30mg

4. Bactrim: take every other day or skip a day if you like.

5. cholesterol: I told him had fasting blood with PCP, was 229.

That is good for me it is a family genetic thing.

6. Asked him about the redness of the skin like small spots of red

marks all over after showing) and he said Prednisone causes the

skin to have some

unusual marks.

7. Weakness strikes legs and body with no warning::: Part of it.

8. when visiting dentist, ok to take amoxicillin and bactrim together

either that or skip the bactrim day of dental work and take the

amoxicillin.

9. He said I look good and I told him I feel good, but the weakness

thing is not good for me to drive anymore as long as I have

someone to take me places, let them take me. I rebelled!!! I

love to drive. NO MORE> He said with my weakness with the legs

and body with no warning is not good for me or others on the

road so I will concede to that I guess. I knew it was coming.

10. When I go to the groc store with family, use elect. cart go

crashing down the isles (that's driving). hahahaha don't hit any

ankles though, very painful. ahahahahahha lol

11. HERE'S THE KLUNKER !!! GUESS WHAT I HAVE ????????????

" UIPFP " . THIS IS ACCORDING TO THE DIAGNOSIS FROM MY LAST CT

LAST SEPT. 2007. HOW 'BOUT THEM APPLES???????? GANG, I AM

MIFFED>>>>>>>>.

UIPFP stands for Usual Interstitual Pulmonary Fibrotic

pneumonia. OH! THAT'S JUST GREAT>>>>>>>>> OH JOY OH JOY OH JOY

12. BEST OF ALL????? CAD (Coronary Artery Disease) is NOT caused by

too much oxygen. I told him the HealthFirst Oxy. Co. Rep. told

me that when he came to check the concentrator last week. Do

you know what he said to me??????

" You tell him to call me or I will call him, that is totally

ridiculous. I told him I didn't think the oxy. co. knew

anything about PF at all. Now I know it is true. He said don't

have any discussions with the oxy. co, just let them deliver

it to you.

13. Have to go watch " American Idol " soon so will sign off for now.

I have gained 5 more lbs. so we are going to the plan of re-

ducing the prednisone to 20mg for 2 wks, see how it goes.
