Hi Sher, been thinking about you too............

[Guest guest]

I have been sitting out on our porch this morning with and my

coffee as it is so gorgeous out, dry, cooler temp, and sunny, of

course I have to sit in the shade, have skin cancer a lot and have to

keep tabs on having lesions burned off every few months for years

now, I used to be a sun worshiper, now I usually don't care if I ever

see it again. Last year, had to have a lesion operated on because it

was malignant, but is ok now. Just have to be extra careful. Just

one more thing, you know?

Anyhow, I have been on oxygen 24/7 since last Oct, 2007 when I first

went to the pulmo. Yes, my nose gets sore from me constantly

stepping on the tubing, and wrapping it around my neck (the tube)

(not my nose ha) chokes me most times and is hot against my neck.

This morning when I fixed Earl's breakfast, I put it up to #7, and

got through it better. After I finish my daily shower and chores

that require my going around the apt, I put it back down to 5. I can

not function EVER on anything lower than 5. My sats go nuts and so

do I. This disease is something, isn't it? It rules, but I just

keep fighting it and go on about what I have to do. It takes me a

little bit before I can get fully awake in the morning, but after

about 45 mins and coffee, I do better. At least I don't hurt

anywhere, but can't see that good.

Hope you have a great day Sher.

I LOVE YOU THIS DAY

MARY LOU
