No good waiting for then as I can't use it, so I will go in this morning and see what can be done. It seems the last few weeks all I have been doing is having appointments with Drs, for my skin with the chemo cream and with my oxygen sats and tomorrow morning I have an appointment with a cardiologist for a check up. I also have to have another CTscan done on my lungs tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully all will be well. #Post#: 46320-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: Moira Date: June 24, 2024, 4:20 am --------------------------------------------------------- Bugger Darien don't wait just go and tell them you cannot use the machine and hopefully they can sort it out for you .... Plead ignorance or pain or whatever :) It HAS been a while since you had so many appts. and medical things as far as I can remember. Once upon a time you had lots but then not too many at all (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Darien))))))))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Is it Winter time that sets you off with so many medical things ? Sending love and prayers for you too and hoping all is well once you get everything checked out and sorted :) #Post#: 46330-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: DarienJ Date: June 24, 2024, 4:43 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I went to the sleep place and they gave me another nose piece to use and it is much more comfortable and I had it on all night. I couldn't say I slept well, but that is only because I have to get used to it. I don't think that Winter is the reason, I think it's just the way things have worked out at the moment. I am getting breathlessness a lot at the moment and I believe it's just my lungs trying to recover from the inflammation. I don't really know why my GP is insisting I see a cardiologist again, my age perhaps?? More money!!!!!! #Post#: 46339-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: Moira Date: June 25, 2024, 3:48 am --------------------------------------------------------- Ah good that you did get a better nose piece and it seems to be working OK and it WILL take a while to get used to sleeping with it on I am sure !!! Keep on keeping on... thats all we can do ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Darien)))))))))))))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) This cold wet weather here is making me ache... my bones seem to be aching !!!! Went to Whanganui today and when I got out of the car after 30 minutes driving I was stiff as a board !!! Hips, knees and neck ! I have a feeling this happens every winter but I like to forget about it ! Best place is in my warm and comfy bed :))))))))))))))))) #Post#: 46347-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: DarienJ Date: June 25, 2024, 4:29 pm --------------------------------------------------------- It will take a bit of getting used to and I go back tomorrow morning for them to see how it is working as the machine will tell them if I am getting enough oxygen through the night. I think it has a computer chip or something in it and they read that. Much like a Oximeter I believe. The cold weather does cause the bones to ache as we age and I know my osteoarthritis is much worse in the winter, but I still prefer Winter to Summer. I too love my nice warm, comfy bed [emoji7] I was supposed to be meeting up with Deb today for a coffee, but she has just rang to tell me she has a sore throat and a headache and feels sore all over, so she won't be able to make it [emoji17] It's very rare Deb comes down with anything and she didn't want me to get it, so I have a free day today, the first one in a while. #Post#: 46355-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: Moira Date: June 26, 2024, 4:25 am --------------------------------------------------------- Poor (((((((((((((((((((((((((((Deb)))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Must be a Winter thing but I feel fine today NOT that I have been anywhere and I am not even properly dressed ... in my warm fluffy PJ pants and NO bra under my tee shirt and jumper :) Freedom :) I did go out to pick up the kids from the shop after school but I never get out of the car I just toot outside the shop and the kids appear and get into the car :) I Hope you have managed to get a decent report tomorrow (((((((((((((((((((((((((Darien))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) SO what DID you do all day today ????????????????????? Some days I get bored a bit like today .. so I did once again scrub part of the carpet and .. read the paper and did the Xwords and Suduko ... and had a wee nana nap !!! #Post#: 46363-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: DarienJ Date: June 26, 2024, 5:12 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I will ring Deb tomorrow, Friday, to see how she is fairing. I spent most of the morning cleaning. I cleaned the office as it was dirty and dusty, then I finished off the pantry. I had my earphones on listening to my book, another murder mystery by Sally Rigby. When I was in the kitchen, there was a knock on the side window, it was Kylie. Apparently she had been knocking on the front door for a bit and as my car was there she knew I was home. I didn't hear because of my earphones and I had the door still locked as it was too cold to have it open yesterday. Kylie has this week off work as she starts a new job on Monday, same thing working in insurance, but the office is in the city so she will be working two days a week in Sydney and the other days from home. #Post#: 46371-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: Moira Date: June 27, 2024, 3:58 am --------------------------------------------------------- I hope Deb is feeling better and why are you cleaning all morning when you said you did not feel 100% in the other post ? ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Darien))))))))))))))))))))))))) I don't know how you can go all morning with ear phones in your ears listening to a story :))))))))))) Did Kylie get fed up with her last job ? #Post#: 46380-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: DarienJ Date: June 27, 2024, 4:29 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I actually didn't mean to do as much as I did, but I just kept going. I haven't been feeling 100% for a few days now, can't quite put my finger on what is wrong though. My head is sore, especially my cheeks, which is usually sinus and my ribcage feels sore and chest feels tight. It's not enough to put myself to bed or anything, but constantly there in the background. I see my lung specialist again on Thursday and I had my CT Scan on Tuesday, so I will soon find out how that is. I saw the new Cardiologist last Tuesday morning, my goodness he is young!!!!! Anyway, he took my BP and it was very high 170/110, so he has told me to increase my Minipress to one in the morning as well as one at night. I will start that tomorrow morning when Robert is home as Minipress can drop one's BP very quickly until you get used to it. He also wants me to start another BP medication, but the chemist advised me to do them one week at a time, so I start the new ones next weekend. I also have to have an echocardiograph on my heart just to check it's working well. As I get very breathless when walking these days, he wants to rule out if it's my heart and not just my lungs. On the Merry-Go-Round of tests and pills once again. I am over it all now as it's all been going on for over 24 years now. #Post#: 46387-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: Moira Date: June 28, 2024, 3:39 am --------------------------------------------------------- I just read about Minipress and you do have to be careful when taking it ... I hope the YOUNG doctor knows what he is talking about telling you to increase the dosage just like that !!! The echocardiograph is probably a good idea too. How long since you had one ? Surely they should have a result now from your CT Scan last Tuesday ? ((((((((((((((((((((((((Darien))))))))))))))))))))))))))) IT's also called Ageing too !!!!!!!!!! I woke up in the early hours this morning and my nose / sinus was totally bunged up .... I had to get up and put a light on to find my Flixonase spray ... have not had to use it for ages ! It worked in the end but it took a while and I had to sit upright for a while and it was cold ! I was wondering IF it was this air con heating as it was on for a while last night ... while I was on here. Same again tonight so I will see ! It's not on HOT either ! ***************************************************** (DIR) Previous Page (DIR) Next Page
