Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hi, Peggy! Glad you got the card, and that it brightened your day. Woulda sent a hug, too, if I coulda! I'm doing okay, mostly. Oxygen level is still an open issue as far as I'm concerned; it drops to low-to-mid 80s when I do weed-pulling and other things at that level of energy expenditure. My rheumy was gonna tell my pulmodude that I wanted a 24-hour oxymeter test; that was the end of April but I haven't heard from the pulmodude. (I know--I know. I should be more pro-active.) I have a scheduled appt with pulmodude on July 1st; I'm thinking I might call and talk about taking the 24 hour test before that appt. Other than that, I've learned I have Sjogren's (which explains a lot of things). I take more naps than I'd like; I can't take both my terriers for a walk at the same time; I keep trying to do less - but that's really hard! I CAN garden some; I CAN walk one dog at a time; I CAN cook, bake, clean up some; I CAN get out and about; I CAN paint; I CAN have lunch/dinner with friends; I CAN walk and talk at the same time (slowly, perhaps), I CAN breathe. Life is good. God is good. So there you have it. Thanks for asking.

These days I am not really sure how I feel.. One hour great the next I feel like I have been working non stop all day.. (that doesn't happen.) So I think I am doing ok for the shape I am in.. lol How are YOU doing ? you haven't said anything much. How is the breathing and your saturation?
