I am back home, off the job, and on oxygen support. It all started last week with me feeling bad then snowballed into a visit to the ER. My O2 counts are down again and I have to sport the oxygen tanks all the time. I feel like crap and I am hoping the oxygen will help turn things around soon.
I am trying to get in to see a pulmonologist but they must be the rock stars of medicine because it is nearly impossible to get an appointment. I am waiting on my oncologist to pull some strings and get me in before November - yep November is the earliest I could manage.
I don't have pneumonia so that is good news. However I am worried about what exactly is causing my breathing to be in the toilet.......again this is where a lung specialist comes in.
I am actually pretty worn out and discouraged. I can't take much more of this sickness and I need a break from playing the patient. I am sure Dave and the kids are just as sick and tired of all this crap.....we just need me to be 100% again. Something I have no clue will ever happen again. Depressing to say the least.
Good news is my sister is home and in town for almost the entire month. So I have some help when Dave is out of town. Thank god for family.

Geez, I hope you feel better soon! Those tanks are probably an extra load you can't carry around -- get well, girl! And yes, thank God you have family to help you out! All the best!
Heather, so sorry to hear you're not feeling so well and have to be back on the oxygen. I'm so glad Michele is with you -- I know how much she's been wanting to see you and the kids. I hope you'll be feeling better soon. In the meantime let Michele do all the things sisters/aunts are so great at. I think of you and your little ones often. Take care!
