Man oh man the last few days have so really sucked. Last Wednesday I was admited to St. John's Mercy Medical Center because 4 breathing treeatments and steroids would not open up my lungs. I had gotten a cold and got rid of it but the Asthma kicked my ass! All my meds have changed and I have a nebulizer now for home and travel use. They have me on Prednizone, Zythromax (both temp pills) Then I have 2 different kind of inhalers, blood pressure medicine, Fibromyalgia medicine and my allergy meds. I feel like a walking pharmacy! I still have the silly asthma cough. Hopefully that will go away soon. Now I have to figure out what all triggers my asthma. This is so hard. I know second hand smoke does it. Fireplace smoke does too. But otherwise.... no clue.
I have to monitor my blood pressure and oxygen levels throughout the day. Do puffers throughout the day. I am having a midlife crisis with all this cause This is almost as bad as when I was a kid and lived in an oxygen tent for 6 months out of the year. But the good thing is that I am getting my right lung back to being used. Apparently I had not been using it for some time and did not realize it. Talk about oxygen brain depravation. No wonder I had to look up numbers that I have dialed for 20 and 30 years. Not cool.
I am going into work a little bit today but we shall see what happens. I work tomorrow and then go on to ICC Wednesday. It should be a fun trip.
