my jouney on oxygen
well it has been almost a week now on the O2...Ifeel so much better with it but it is a hassle. i dont know how i was coping before this, even now wheni take it off to dress or something i get so out of breath that i am not sure i was even aware of anything before.
i received a phone call this afternoon from the transplant assessement team and i see them on tuesday. Hubby had to go and pick up extra tanks and a small concentrator to get us there overnight and then home the next day.
i had to go out and find a backpack to carry all this stuff plus all my purse stuff. I found a nice one for a laptop that is all padded and has enough compartments for everything.
i am slowly learning how to 'baby proof' the house so there is nothing for me to get tangled on.....remember that scene in 'my big fat greek wedding' where she has the headset on and went to get brochures and drops herself backward......almost done that....lol
managed to get the decorations off the tree today, hubby will do the lights and we can box it all up until next year!
so heres the schedule for this month
jan 6th - pick up copy of CT scan at hospital
jan 10th 11th - the transplant assessment
Jan 18th - the first infusion
feb 1st - the second infusion
feb 3rd - Dr Xue for a consult on the now resolved stomach issue
hopefully i will be able to get a few fun things in too! i did get out to the film group the other night to see "Get Low" with Robert Duvall and Sissy Spacek and Bill Murray....it was a pretty good film. Next month not so sure but I will give it a chance. Im excited because they are bringing "The kings Speech" in soon. Ive been wanting to see that one. And this month at cake and classics is "the african queen"....so a few things to look forward too in all the madness
And i have to apply for a handicap sticker.....that makes me feel worse than anything else......so old and decrepit at 45.
guess thats it for now!
