Ok My Collin lost a tooth yesterday.  Very determined to get it out.  Eating foods that he thought would aid the cause.  Took him about 2 hours after I picked him up from after school.  Anyway...

Started a new antidepressant.  Actually it is one that I took for a few months.  I gained a lot of weight.  Out of the many meds I tried, it possibly helped.  I have a history of depression and...

Ok my little guy Collin.  He is five and a half.  About a week ago he told his teacher that some of the kids were riding down the hill on their big wheels which they aren't supposed to do. The...

I have a hard time understanding my COPD myself.  My O2 sats last time were 100% at the doctor appointment.  My body gets enough oxygen.  On the down side oxygen probabally won't help and...

Well today I went for my research study stuff.  They do 2 pulmonary function tests which were 27%.  I am two points down from two months ago.  I have dropped 12 points over a 2 and a half year...

Well lots of things were discussed.  My husband actually went with me.  He is in such denial.  The two things that stand out right now are that I am eligible for disability and that if I continue...

Walked a mile and a quarter today.  Warm day and a flat surface.  That's ok!  It is a start!  Got to strengthen my heart so my lungs don't have to work so hard.

Going to the doctor this Thursday.  Got to get my questions together.  Pulmonary function - fev1 results to be discussed of course.  Sleep study - he wanted me to have one and I haven't yet. ...

I've been away for a bit.  We had our internet turned off for a bit.  Over a year I guess.  It feels right to be back.  I saw that marg died.  Things aren't the same without her.  I know there...

Had another panic attack two nights ago.   I couldn't breathe and it just kept going and going.  Got in front of the fan with my husband singing loudly and finally got through it.  It seems the...

Went to Pulmonary Rehab.  Lots of good info.  Walked a good amount during my 6 minutes.  O2 sats etc were good.  Met with an exercise specialist, respiratory therapist, and nurse.  They all...

Had another PFT this past Monday.  Showed no changes.  I am having an echocardiogram this coming Monday to rule out or find Pulmonary Artery Hypertension.  I got the feeling that he does not know...

Exercised today. I have a small field/yard. Started walking around the outer edges. Had to dodge the dog poo! Not sure about distance, but I have had trouble on this area at least twice. It has...

For the last 3-4 days the weather has been less humid and has felt cooler. Yesterday I took my son to the park. I was even able to carry him, as he was crying. He weighs 40 lbs. I have not been...

Wrote a journal entry 3 times and lost it. Basically had a bad day and have not concentrated on what I can do instead have thought of my future.
