It is raining and I have no idea what to fix my hubby for dinner...
may make him buy himself something,
I do not feel like eating out, I can cook a piece of fish,
but he won't eat fish.

Today is a good day for me.
After almost three months, I was released by my doctor to go back to work.
I am so blessed.
I did ask her to say next Tuesday would be good.
Even though I have sorely missed not being able to go back to work,
the way I see it is this:
Monday's are hard enough as the beginning of the work week,
I bought myself an extra day!
Dr. agreed wholeheartedly!
Everyone please enjoy your day!!

Thank you Gail Sis'
It hasn't been 'a cruise' exactly, but
I can, LET GO of my yesterdays
I can, exist in the moment
and, be completely free of 'dread'
Last night's breathlessness advanced this morning to 'tight-chested'ness
My breaths are very shallow and I just cannot seem to get up [a chest full]
I can usually pump up my 36 inch chest to 39 very easily
Today I have felt 'contained' / 'restricted' and have-to breathe more-rapidly [mouth open]

After I dropped-off, two, of Mary's grandchildren at their home
I called in at the doctor's surgery, to see if I could get an urgent appointment
to see the doctor, because, I face having my procedure delayed, if I remain in this condition
The receptionist told me
that the earliest appointment available would be in one weeks time ... next Thursday ? :arghhhhh:
She asked what was wrong with me
and after that she phoned the doctor, who agreed to see me within a few minutes

After a lung volume test and ascultations front and back
she declared that my lungs were clear, but feared some viral 'thing' was settling-in
The doctor prescribed two inhalers...
1 steroid 'preventer' and also a 'reliever'...
I filled the script immediately [no-charge]
and have already started medicating with the steroid, 2 puffs TWICE each day
and told me to go to A&E if I continue to experience the similar symptoms
because the surgery / health centre wouldn't be equipped to cope with me

Thank you so much for your prayers [God Bless you and your Hubby]

Thank God they saw you right away; how I feel for you (that is not pleasant )
If you haven't had the inhalers before, know the 'reliever' (?albuterol)
may give you the 'shakes', but it does go away.

Praying for your complete healing so that things can proceed in HIS perfect will and timing.
May you be given sufficient graces ~ strength, hope,and peace as you wait on Him

Hi Gail

Such a surprise I had this morning [change-from

My 'preventer' is, Beclometasone Diproprionate
My 'reliever' is, Salamol _both, are CFC-free

Mary, has 'Ventolin' (reliever] Salbutamol

Beclometasone dipropionate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Salamol Cfc Free Inhaler 100mcg | Private Prescriptions Online

Albuterol Inhaler - What is an Albuterol Inhaler


Thank you for the heads-up, re: 'shakes'
~just another 'step', that I have yet, to make

Thank you so-much for your prayers_ I know, that He hears them all

Ah yes...a UK drug brand.
I had a similar med way back in 1995 recovering from near death asthma/respiratory failure
(one of many heavy meds) It has the same possible side effects I see....
hopefully you don't feel any!

I use an albuterol nebulizer at home as needed for flares,
with an emergency RX for prednisone on hand to keep me out of the ER.
Thankfully I haven't needed a hospital for some 12 years
I have it all under control (flares like this week are very brief).

Praying they do the trick for you!

me too!

But, fear not! He will come, like a thief in the night
and take me to a better place But not, until He is ready \o/




Thank you Shirley
That, makes three of us

Actually, I am not an asthmatic
'something' has triggered an asthmatic response, in me
Mary is already wondering, whether or not, some cheap aerosols
we bought at a local shop, may have brought this about [ 2 for £1 / $ .75cents]

The doctor was thinking along the lines of 'something viral'
on account of, the rapidity of onset, of the symptoms
one day a little breathless, with very little exertion [pushing vacuum cleaner]
the next, I have shutdown, to around one fifth of lung capacity

I have already mentioned, my having been 'taking it easy'
for quite some time already ...

My biggest concern was having my hernia repair delayed
I have 'managed' for too darn long, already...
~the decorating awaits... as does the gardening

servant of Merciful Love said:

Yes, that can happen....allergic/asthma responses....along with a virus (hopefully not).

You have been so patient waiting all this time....the Lord knows I would have been out of my head

It is hard too, when you are used to being active....then are sidelined when you feel well

Hopefully the Lord plans to keep you on this earth for a good long time Dave

I have found myself getting angry at times Dave...
at what seems like the health people ignoring you over there...
but your attitude is really giving the Lord some glory.
I pray this surgery will happen at the right time and be successful.

Aerosols, fragrances, soaps, cleaners, latex;
I must always be very careful...
it used to make me sick just to walk down the soap aisle at the store...
not now, but I won't forget
the season when I was the worst for chemical sensitivities.

I agree, we HAVE, been led, in the similar direction
albeit by different paths, with individual trials ~teaching individual lessons
By 'learning-well'.... we also acquire, further skills toward future trials

The 'eyes and ears' must also play, a prominent role

Ecclesiastes 3

A reason, a time [season] for everything under the sun

Mary and I just love visiting our local bakery shop
I love... Ham Salad Baguette
Mary loves Tuna mayonaise Barm Cake with mustard

Hello Everyone,

I see that some are still in need of prayer, so that's what I'll do.
Brother Dave, I'm sorry you're going through so much
as you wait for your surgery. You and others will be in my prayers.
I look forward to hearing much good news in the near future.
In the meantime, may God watch over all of us according to His Perfect Will.
