Tired,CPAP,No Money,Homework, Joey\'s Homework,Legs Hurt, PT Tomorrow I Hope,Tired, Joey Sick
Hey AllIts been a long time since I wrote. In fact its been 12 days and a lot has happen. Joey started his school and I think he was excited and nervous and didn't know what to expect a normal teenager.He's doing ok so far just sick and not feeling so good and worry that it will affect he's grades. we email he's teacher and told him and gets til tomorrow and the assignment was due yesterday. Now mom is going to take him to the doctor today because I don't think I can drive with my legs. On thursday the 7th PT went great except I needed my in haler and it was home and of course I got a lecture from my therapist doug.He said I did good that day except the breathing. Other times I did PT the therapist was busy I could hide it but that day it was just me and doug and he caught me. lol Ralph been sick off and on and usuall. Rhonda is back into routine cooking and cleaning. Alex is doing schooling and its doing good. Mom is mom and helping me out with my papers for school. One class i'm doing well and the other I'm squeaking by. I know how its just getting it done right on the computer and handed in. I couldn't get it on the net so I got a F the website. ughhhhhh Tuesday mom went to family night at aftercare she likesto go and they had the biggest group yet since I been there and its been a year and 8 months. Tuesday PT went great now we call PT DT Doug Torture lol. Teasing him. He says he has thick skin. Well thursday he said I was doing good so he had one of he's new therapist put me on a new machine. I said ok cool. I was suppose to do three minutes well at 2 minutes and 40 seconds my breathing got difficult and my legs gave way. Doug quickly came over to help. I was calm as could be because I try to figure out what the hell happen to me. I was breathing hard like crazy. Doug told me to get my inhaler the discussion we had a couple of weeks ago and while I use it I try to talk. He said don't talk just listen for once. haha I said funny.He said he got to talk and I listen. We were on each others case all day. I gradaully started feeling better and could walk. Doug modify my exercise so as not to over do it. I had a major asthma attach and the guy still thinking exercise. So I did the exercise and met his challenge. haha I was feeling better and better as could be. My legs hurt some but I didn't complain. I did tell them after the fact that I went to bed at 430 and forgot my night meds. I was complaining and they said it was information anyways it didn't matter.I wanted to try it. Aftercare went well and I went home because I was tired. Friday I went with Rhonda and Anthony to Knoxville to IRS office. IRS owes Rhonda 2,900 dollars. So now 4 to 6 weeks we will be getting some money. My legs hurt but not bad. We then went to dustins for his birthday and came home to watch TV. Saturday I got up and could hardly move my legs and get out of bed. I sat down in a chair and had to get someone to help me up. This happen Saturday and Sunday it got better. Monday its some better. Joey is worse sick so mom is taking him to a walk-in clinic today. My breathing is bad today and i'm taking in haler already. I take it 4 times a day. Well I guess thats about it. I've been real tired. I'm hoping to go to physical therapy tomorrow. My other thing about my legs is that it might be my back. In 1998 I think it was the last MRI where they found swelling in my spinal nerve causing pain in my legs. But I haven't really had pain in my legs unless I really over due it so did I really over due it at PT or DT or is it something else? Good question. It sucks. Joey got certify on july 6 for VA so in 10 to 12 weeks from july joey will be getting a backpay check for school. He gets 884.00 a month so thats x 3. So now he can get him a computer yea. So things are looking up. So now get our finances in order and we will do fine. Please pray that I can get my finances in order. Thanks. Love ya all Have a pain free day.Getting closer and closer to finishing school,more smileys but tired,health is not under control,no cancer,not feeling so hot went to AA last week no desk clean, no weight, help my son and dil as always,still clean, aftercare still and wearing glasses.

It sounds like you are a WEEE bit hard headed about take your meds and using the inhaler, :-). Please don\'t try to hide it when you are having trouble breathing, use that inhaler. I can be stubborn about taking meds too, so I am fussing at myself too. If we don\'t take our meds like they are prescribed, they can\'t help us. If you want to chat and I not at the computer, page me: 4234702893@message.alltel.com that comes to my directly to my phone. I am glad to see that everyone\'s finances are looking up. I will continue to pray..
God bless
Well it sounds like all in all things are \"Lookin up\"!!!! Can someone in your household pester you and get you to take your meds more regularly and make sure you do your inhaler.............I bet that would help you immensely........I used to be bad about taking vitamins even.......but now, I am in a routine.......and doing better in that department..................lolol.......hummer at feeder........they are so cute!!!!!! I am glad your finances are lookin up too.............good for you!!!! As far as grades go............hang in there......it is all a learning process and you are doing good..............just keep on keepin on!!!!!!!!
wow that is a lot of stuff.....you have a very busy life thats for sure!!! take you meds ok!!!!! its very important...if you going to be doing all this \'dt\' then you need to be able to breath, so take em ok??? glad to hear from you....lots of love...jann
If you have asthma please don\'t mess around with it being stubborn about using meds and inhaler, lost several people I cared about at relatively young ages do to their asthma and your family sure doesn\'t need to lose you.
As usualy your staying so busy even when you don\'t feel up to it, you may have over done the legs at PT but then once you\'ve had back injuries and problems with an area seems it can \'go out\' with little or no excuse later on. I hate not knowing which body parts may decide not to work on any given day. Take care and be gentle with yourself. Hugs, Georgia
Oh my, never go anywhere without that inhaler! I hope you legs continue to get stronger.
Take care, hugs Cathy
hey girl! yipes you got alot going for you! try to relax too! and take your inhaler, oh looks who is talking, iam telling you to take your inhaler and mines still in the box! i hope you have a better p.t the next time doug torture!
just wanted to add my support. Hugs.
Sounds like your therapist and mine could be the same person or maybe it\'s just the name Doug. That was my PT\'s name too but I called him the sadist. I swear he like inflickting pain.
Yes, never try to cover up pain or Asthma so he can modify your exercise as you should not have worse pain or stiffness after exercise or you will feel worse and have a setback xxoo good luck, love, hugs, and prayers, hon!
That inhaler can\'t help you breathe better if you don\'t use it sweetie. lol I got tired just reading your journal with all of that activity you have been doing lately. I hope everything continues to get better for all of you. Listen to your PT and take your meds. Love and Hugs, Debbie
I just said a prayer for you.
Please please use your nhaler sweetie. It is so important. Congrats on getting the money for his schooling.
I will prayer for your health to improve and your finances to improve even more.
Hugs, Annie
I agree.. you really need to use your inhaler! and I know how hard PT can be, but you\'re doing great.. hope Joey is feeling better..... hang in there, you\'re tough! and I pray that the financial situation gets much better very soon..... big hugs xxxxxxx Gaye
Dear Lord Jesus I pray that you will help Tennese, help he with the pain she is having either take it a way if it be your will or give her the strength do deal with it. Lord I pray that you will watch over their finances, help them to have money to pay their bills and buy groceries if it be you will help them also buy a new computer. Holy Spirit send angels to watch over them and help them in all areas of their lives. Bind Satan so that neither him nor his minions will hurt or bother them. We ask this is your precious name. Amen
