Missed you all

[Guest guest]

Well, have semi-caught up. Need to go feed the cats for which my ex

wife is the custodial parent. She said Mandi was bullying Marli this

morning so I need to see what that is about and have a talk with Mandi.

First trip on oxygen was a success. I was able to meet my friend there

and take her to her first counseling appointment and I know without

question she would have backed out had I not gone as she was sick that

morning just in anticipation. But she loved her counselor and will

definitely follow through and continue.

I got to experience the first time of driving with a reservoir in the

car and a Helios for portability. I even refilled the Helios in the

car, the set the reservoir up in the hotel. I did everything I would

have done on the trip before, just not as much. I did take late

afternoon naps both days. I even stopped by the Oklahoma Aquarium on my

way home today. Learned that an Octupus can open a jar in seconds. Not

sure yet how that information is going to come in handy. But I do have

trouble with jars sometimes so wonder if I could get and train one for

that.

Think I figured out that I don't like travel for the sake of travel

like some do. But if its to meet someone or to do something thats not

available here in the DFW area then I'm ready to go. Not sure where

next. Was colder in Tulsa so I know no where north until warmer

weather. But maybe Disneyworld, maybe NC to see family, definitely San

in May.

My lung still hurts so the pneumonia probably not gone. Last day of

Levaquin was today but get chest xray tomorrow and will probably get

more of it or another antibiotic. I protected myself and nothing really

more I could have done to take care of myself at home.

So, learned some important things. First, within my limits today or

furture, if possible, not to let my disease keep me from those things

really important to me. Two, I can travel with oxygen with no problems.

Three, what kind of travel I might enjoy and that I wouldn't. Four,

that I can't bear days away from you guys so if I go for longer trips

will absolutely have to include a means for checking in throughout the

trip. Seemed like I was gone forever, even though I checked in briefly

Tuesday evening from the Hotel and then back today. I've never had so

many friends that I wanted to know how they were doing and what new was

going on with them.
