Ugh. I’m really having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I’m going to potentially feel this way for a loooooong time.
I’m surviving. My asthma/breathing seem better. I’m less short of breath and cough less often. I have eliminated my daily afternoon nap. I’m tired but able to stay awake as long as I sit down to rest. I still have really bad coughing spells, usually late at night. I’ve developed new pain in my chest. Hubby suggests it might be muscle pain but since I’m coughing less I doubt it. It also feels as though it’s inside. I imagine the cocci infiltrating my lung tissue and slowly killing me.
I probably should switch to positive visualizations!
I imagine my immune system fighting the cocci…attacking it, and winning. That’s better.
My pcp’s office sent me a recorded phone message. There’s a message waiting for me and all I have to do is call back and enter my “id number” to retrieve it. Only thing is I don’t remember them giving me any such number. I tried my social and that didn’t work. *hmph*
I’m sure the message relates to my A1C. I had it drawn Thursday. I asked the Dr. to call in glyburide for me since VF has wreaked havoc on my already-way-too-high blood sugar. We were giving me time to get the #s down through diet and exercise, but then VF came along. I already take metformin and I know glyburide is a common companion.
The Dr. wanted to see an updated A1C first…I guess I’ll get the info Monday. Not really anything to worry about other than the fact that I think we should get my blood sugar down post-haste! I just want a prescription, please. I wish I could do it myself!
I got a lot done in the studio today…unpacked most of my art/craft supplies. I just need to sell/give away a few more pieces of furniture before I can really get the room arranged how I want.
For now, I’m going to pee (drinking a lot has it’s drawbacks…I have to pee all the time!) and work on a puzzle with my Katie. If I’m feeling really ambitious I may take her and my new camera out for a slow stroll.
