Health Issues

I think i posted i was seeing my doctor Tuesday, HA, got sent to the hospital, for observation while they changed my meds. Could barely breathe. I did drive myself there, and got started on oxygen immediately. Stayed in my clothes until i came home Wednesday.....Well, took my pants off to sleep, and surprisingly, slept pretty good with that tube in my nose.

One good thing, no pneumonia, just some wheezing. My heart doc even came by, told me it was NOT my heart being the problem, was my lungs, then put me on a med that will help both interact better. Reason my heart was racing was because of my O2 getting too low, under 90.

My new printer is still not working, need a new color ink cartridge, cause i pulled off a piece of tape that i shouldn't have. Don't think i can find one here. Gonna try one more thing here, putting in the one out of my old printer, not the 61, but is the 60 and looks like it might work.

O yeah, i was put on oxygen 24/7. Got that going a few hours after i got home. Not sure if i need to do the sleep study or not, now. Think i'd better call. HATE this!

Hope yall liked that Taxes thing,, tc, and

  1. You should be OK now that you are on oxygen. I only use at night and I think it has kept me alive, so far.

    2. Are you bubbling the flow of oxygen through water? I do and it keeps my nose and throat from drying out. Maybe you are breathing through your mouth ant night. If that is the case, you can get a cup to cover your nose and mouth that fits (by tube) to the oxygen machine.

    3. BTW, I run my machine at 3 liters per minute, but you have to work up to that.

  3. You can write me anytime and we can compare illnesses, but get that sleep study. I thought it was all a crock of crap and just a fad. I'd been exhausted for six years, mostly due to runaway diabetes, but the sleep study showed I also stopped breathing 240 times a night, and the Cpap did help: A LOT. Oxygen BURNS, but it sounds like they have yours set too high. Honest.

  5. Is the hospital in your hometown or did you have to drive to another city? Wishing you a quick recovery...at least you are home now.

    Hope you have someone to look in on you. Take care.
