Good day.

[Mavary]

Hi all. We went to see our Sons yesterday. It was about a thirty mile round trip. My Husband walked all the way in to a Garden Centre and didn't even notice he didn't have his oxygen on. He hasn't even been able to walk to the Loo without it for a long time. I can only think it is because of all the medication he has been on. He said it is the best he has felt for a long time. So very good day. I just hope it Carries on.

That's a brilliant day and long may it continue

[Mavary in reply to scrobbitty]

Thanks Scrobbity. I certainly hope so.

The relief - how fantastic for you. I bet you had a fantastic day with your son - not having to worry about your husband. Don't do what I do - start to worry that I'm not worrying!!!! Enjoy the time he is well. I am so so pleased for you. Long may he stay well and you ! Take good care, TAD xx

[Mavary in reply to Hidden]

Hi Tad. Thanks for your message. We have four Sons. Hence the thirty mile round trip. I think I did speak too soon. My Husband had a shower this morning and we took his oxygen levels it was 75. He is still feeling quite well though.

Hi Mavary, great to hear your hubby's feeling better and once you've achieved something it gives you that bit of drive to try again! Best wishes. Sadiemxx

[Mavary in reply to sadie1951]

Thanks Sadiem. I'm hoping it will last. X

So glad to hear of his improvement it's wonderful, and it gives me hope I've not been able to bounce back since my pneumonia in June and it's really depressing, I'm using the oxygen more I'm hoping my consultant will change or up my medication.

[Mavary in reply to kimmy59]

Hi Kim. I have been really worried about my Husband as he has not been able to do much for a long time. He has had pneumonia two or three times. Who knows what he had this time it could well have been pneumonia again. He has also had blood clots in his lungs the beginning of the year. I thought how he was was how he was always going to be but now he seems a lot better. I know I shouldn't say it and I am crossing my fingers when I do. I just hope it isn't the lull before the storm. No! I mustn't think that. It is probably the steroids making him feel better. Anyway there is always hope to feel better. You take care. X

[Mavary in reply to mattcass]

Hi Matt/Fran. Thanks for that. I can't believe how he is better. I can only hope it does continue.

Thanks Cofdrop. I hope so.

[silversurfer]

Nice to hear such good news, keep it up

[Mavary in reply to silversurfer]

Thanks Siversurfer. I will beat him if he gets worse again. Ha! Ha! X

[longlungs]

Hi Marvary good news indeed be careful not to over do it though. Janexx

[Mavary in reply to longlungs]

Hi Jane. Thanks for that. I'vejust told Siversufer I will beat him if he gets worse again. Ha! Ha!

[newlands in reply to Mavary]

Then i will report you xxx

[Mavary]

Thanks Flibberti. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

[DozyDormouse]

So pleased to hear how well he is feeling, just keep a little eye on the sats though. regards Dozy

[Mavary in reply to DozyDormouse]

Thanks Dozydoormouse. I love that name by the way. I know what you mean. I thought 75 with his oxygen after his shower was a bit low. We are still learning with oxygen and don't at the moment know much about it.

[Hidden]

This is fantastic!!

Now this is the kinda posts I find truly uplifting. A wee spark of inspiration xxx

[Mavary in reply to Hidden]

Hi Mags. Thank you for your post. Do I spot a bit of Scottish in A wee spark. ? X

[Hidden in reply to Mavary]

Oh you do indeed Mavery haha! xxx

[Mavary in reply to Hidden]

I love the accent. We went to Edinburgh on the 21st of December a few years ago. It rained all day with a drizzling rain. We went back to the Hotel to get changed ready to go out in the evening for dinner. We had told the Concierge that we wanted a taxi to take us out. It had started to snow when we first went back and when we were ready we could see by now the snow was two inches deep. When we asked for our taxi we were told you wouldn't get a taxi tonight but you could walk its only round the corner. Boy was all our faces red. We were with our Son and his Wife at the time. We walked to the restaurant and had a lovely meal. On the way back my son decided to have a snow fight and of course I lost. I ended up with snow all down inside my coat. It was one of my most happy and memorable holidays. I would love to see a lot more of Scotland but it doesn't look like i will now.

[Hidden in reply to Mavary]

What a lovely memory you described there Mavary Im in Glasgow so just 30/40minutes from Edinburgh, however, very, very different to Glasgow but equally endearing cities...Glad it was memorable. Your words described it well

[junespoon]

[Mavary in reply to junespoon]

[Mavary in reply to KingoftheCocktails]

Very nice King. If it lasts. I know it sounds Pessimistic but I know what disease he is fighting. We have to keep our fingers crossed. Are you feeling any better?

[KingoftheCocktails in reply to Mavary]

One day at a time ! Mavary. My ribs are alright as long as I don't cough.

Take care.

Hi Marvary, wonderful newes about your husband, sounds as if the medication is helping him, I know its difficult but try and not worry so much ! and think more about his progress, him seeing you worry will not help him. take care, and keep him warm these cokd nights. Malk.

[Mavary in reply to Hidden]

Hi Malk. I don't show him any worry. I keep it to myself and you poor people who have to put up with me. Ha! ha! I know the disease he is fighting and the prognosis is not good. I certainly keep him warm. I make him a hot water bottle when he goes to bed. I find being to talk to all you nice people help me greatly. Thanks for your posting.

[Hidden]

Your welcome. Pleased to know we help a little in our small way, take care. Malk

Hi Mavis, its great to here hubby is doing so well. I shouldn't worry too much about the low sats after his shower as mine always drop under those circumstances, I normally have a session on my oxygen afterwards just to get things back to normality.

[Mavary in reply to dall05]

Hi Tony nice to hear from you. That reading was with his oxygen on. How are you doing. Have you heard anything yet. .
