It's So Not Fair...!

4 Replies

Now yesterday was fine...not a bother on me all day long...even threw some sausages into the slow cooker to make the Hairy Bikers version of sausages and beans which is Himself's favourite...

Did several rows of the crochet blanket...

Had a shower...

Listened to Stephen Fry talking about living with Bi-Polar...

Ate a bowl of soup for lunch.

Breathing was reasonable...my chest had stopped sounding like a shaken bag of rusty nails...and my nose didn't run too much. Think the oxygen makes it run actually, though I could be wrong...

This morning I felt awful...wheezing and coughing and gasping...had cramp in my feets...a splitting headache and my chest was rattling away...it's stopped making so much noise but now I have indigestion from last nights supper 'cos I put too much Marscopane in my cauliflower and pasta bake...or perhaps it was the cauliflower stalks...they're pretty inedible after all...even the rabbit won't eat them. Think I was being too thrifty.

It really doesn't do to plan anything...not that we had anything planned for today, but you get my drift...I'm surprised we haven't all turned into instant Buddhists actually with their philosophy of 'living for the day' because it seems to be every-time I'm congratulating myself on breathing easily and having a smidgeon of energy...being able to put socks on without gasping is my version of having energy...then along comes a truly foul day...just to remind you not to grow too complacent...

Yep know what you mean,went for my spirometry test today and it was 80 ml down from last year,nurse said not to worry we will change from seritide to symbicort as seritide is not the correct inhaler for COPD,I have been on it for 3 yrs,got to admit I have felt more breathless this last 2/3 months though it was the cold weather and also the central heating,so just waiting the nod from my doctor to try the symbicort, as you say don't take anything for granted,I have felt well for a long time and now I have a slight problem,just shows things can and do change, after all this rambling Hope you will have lots of better days,

Morning Vashti,Let's hope today will be better, I think it's a case of " Seize the Day" only of course on as good day. My husbands nose ran constantly when he was oxygen and it was very sore and bleed. He was recommended KY jelly,just a touch in his nostril, Seemed to help a bit. Dreadful to have other minor problems that make life more difficult, when you have enough to contend with. Best wishes Bulpit.

Well I hope the day gets better for your Vashti. My Hubby's nose ran on the oxygen too.

Sending you a huge warm hug. xxx
