Another session at the surgery yesterday, much tapping and stethoscoping, lots of heavy breathing. Blood pressure checks and so on.
The chest is clear. Woo Hoo
Air flow is spot on. Woo Hoo.
Breathing rate too fast. Duh.
Heart is galloping away too fast. Duh
Loads of tests in my very near future ( starting tomorrow morning)
Bloods for everything they could think of and of course an ECG.
In the meantime I am still coughing and sweating. If I was a Horse they would shoot me. Neigh, I could have a rub down with the Sporting Life and some magic liniment.
Life goes on, Ben is quite enjoying a series of short sloooow slopes up and down the road. I never go far from the house and carry my phone with me.
I knit a little, nap a little, fuss Ben, have a drink etc etc etc.
I am doing a little simple cooking most days, the laundry is up to date and if the vacuum cleaner ought to come out, well there is another day tomorrow.
Kitchen and bathroom are pretty much as usual, the tiles could do with some extra attention, all in the fullness of time.
And now I am off to feed Ben and throw a potato in the oven to bake, home cooked ham, cold spiced baked pineapple and some homemade coleslaw will make for a very tasty dinner.
TTFN Pam

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you're still poorly, I hope the tests pinpoint something easy to treat and cure, you deserve a quick return to good health. Housework can wait, I think we all worry too much about keeping our homes super glossy, it really isn't important in the great scheme of things, your health and well being are the most important things. Take it very easy.

ReplyDeleteI have been reading your blog for so long, and when I started I read all the way back. I live in South Africa, I have tow grown up children, a husband of 28 years and the sweetest Basset ever. It is uncanny how much I can relate to your writing, and when your posts appear in my inbox, it is as if I receive a letter from a friend. So I will leave you today with a loving-kindness wish: May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be free form suffering. Blessed be! Santie
Good luck with your tests Pam.

My goodness, this illness has been going on so long! It's too bad all the tests weren't ordered weeks ago. Hope they get to the root of the problem and get you on the road to recovery.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are soon completely well and back to your old self.
ReplyDeleteI hope all the tests you will be going through lead to a diagnosis quickly.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon.
God bless.
So sorry to hear you are so unwell, I do hope that they figure it out soon and that it is easily resolved when they do. Sending good thoughts and hugs!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon Pam. I've been ill for just over a year and still don't have a firm diagnosis. Fingers are crossed for Thursday when I see the rheumatologist again.
