Impatient
I am the first to admit that I am a very bad patient and since I don’t get sick very often that I’m probably unrealistic about how long it takes to get better. I went back into the doctor today b/c I feel like I’m getting worse. The doctor agreed but the dingbat said she thought I had asthma. Hello????? Do you generally get a fever and chills w/athsma? I have never had allergies/asthma and neither does anyone on my side of the family. Could it be that I’m sick which is causing my bronchial tubes to become inflamed? I didn’t push the issue too hard b/c I got the antibiotic that I wanted, along w/a steroid. I haven’t used steroids before but my son has and they made him better in short time. I do know that they can make you puffy so I’m not excited about that but if I can feel like normal it will be worth it. They checked my oxygen levels and they have dropped from 97% on Thursday to 90% today. Gee, maybe that’s why I’m so tired all of the time.
Sorry, I know I’m a grouch. I feel so bad for people who have to put up w/chronic illness. I realize that I have taken my health for granted for too long.
If I do start to puff-up I might avoid the scale for a while so I don’t get discouraged. I’ll stick to the food plan and ease back into exercise when I can. This sucks.
Like you, I hate being ill. That crummy cold I had last week finally seems to be gone.
Hope you’re back to 100% real soon. I meant to tell you, about that ankle injury…I was shocked when I went to the doctor and he said, “Stand on your tiptoes without holding on to anything.” I said, “No problem! I can do that!” and was shocked to find that I couldn’t. I’ve found out since then that that’s a common test for the kind of problem I have. Might be something you want to try.
Hey, listen to your body and rest as much as you can. Really, it’s not worth letting something relatively minor get a hold of you and then hang around for way too long. Pull the blankets over your head for a day. Everyone will be fine!
I kind of agree. I tend to disagree with doctors often. They’ve proven themselves wrong and unworthy more than anything. I made a little note that today was your birthday. I hope I got that right. I hope you feel better today and are able to enjoy it. I’ve been coughing and sleeping alot the past few days. Hoping it goes away soon. My younger kids also are coughing and one has a fever. They have doctor appt for tomorrow which was just to be a regular check up and immunization shots. I guess they cn check their colds now too.
Anyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
