Guess I wasn't as better as I/they thought I was, because last Thursday night I was having some distress with my breathing and had to go back into the hospital in the middle of the night. Before anyone has a freakout I am doing much better now, using less O2 than I was last week and have been given a proper goings over by several doctors, stuff is fine.
Due to the fact that I was still dealing with that cold I caught my noes was stuffed up completely, that makes it hard to get oxygen through nasal prongs. After a few hours of stressing about this and working my self up into a near panic attack, making my impair ability to breath that much worse, I had my dad take me into the hospital. Next time you see him tell he is awesome because he can't hear that enough after pushing me around in a wheel chair at 3 am when he has to work the next day.
They started me on IV anti-biotics, increase my steroids, and did a whole wack of blood work. After Five days of that I am doing much better. My noes is no longer stuffed up making it easier to breath, I am fully over that cold and all its effects, and a few of the tests I had booked for later in the month got done early.
Not my favorite way to spend the weekend, but over all I think I'm doing better than i was a week ago. Bad news is that this little scare has forced me to get a little more serious about preventative measures that I have to take to keep from getting sick again(because if I do they will ship my ass to Edmounton early and the bleak, friendless, grey-scape which is E-town sucks). So I will no longer be going to see Slayer/Rob Zombie at the end of the month. The crowds, the smoke(stage effects and weed), and the walking are a risk that I feel is okay, But the transplant doc does not, and he needs to know that my commitment to this is 100%. There will be other shows, and my friends that are going will tell me how it went. Now i just need to see if i can sell my ticket in time, Any takers?
Glad you are feeling better, Peter. Two people from our area had lung transplants in Seattle (U of W)They are doing well. It is encouraging.
