Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Friends,Spent a fair part of yesterday in the ER.Woke up feeling awful and didn't go to church despite it beingAnnual Meeting Sunday in most of the Episcopal world.Took a shower and my O2 sat afterwards was 83%. Yikes. Called Dawn home from church, who took me to the ER.Labs, blood gas, xray.Then a breathing treatment. Albuterol and atrovent.The lungs opened up. Fibrosis is a disease of restriction.Makes sense to me... I now have a nice nebulizer pump at home and am on treatments every four hours while awake.I am seeing pulmodude today. My sats still drop below 90 with activity. We need to decide whether I go on oxygen 24/7. That would suck, but I only seem to need it with exertion. I am supposed to go back to work on 2/11...I am a critical care RN. I cannot do bedside work on O2. I hopethe VA can find me something to do... It is what it is.Off to my AA meeting.jon50 sarcoid 1/9-- Two wrongs don't make a right,but two 's make an airplane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
