My leukemia's back.

[Alaskan]

Hi Sour et al, I’m OK. I really don’t have much to complain about, maybe I’m just b1tchy in general these days. Still not healed and the little hole has an annoying burning feeling.

Been working in the garden a bit, feels like I’m behind again though. Going camping with the grandkids over Memorial Day, that will definitely perk me up!

that would make me crotchety, no doubt in my mind!

Hope that hole gets a move on!

Mine will be a Bipap machine which lowers the pressure when you exhale. It will also have a port to plug in the oxygen generator. I have already slept half a night with the mask at the sleep test. They have to throw them away after the test if its not a good fit for you... so they gave me my last one. its already adjusted. But this new machine may need some tweaks for a mask like it. So technically I already have a spare.

You have dry air like we do Right? I am hoping there will be a reservoir for water....

I cant wait for the real health benefits to start kicking in.... Better Rest leads to less anxiety lower blood pressure and in my case relaxing my heart so the muscle has help being less stiff. Oh and loosing weight.

I had my Cardeologist appointment last week and her results were very intersting. They did an Echo Chardiogram looking for an enlarged heard because my blood pressure had not been controlled for several years. What they found was thick stiff heart muscle. Not enlarged but not flexible either. She was deligted to find out I had been approved for the Bipap.... She said it will help.

BUT she dropped the other shoe... I am required to exercise thirty minutes every day... and loose 20 pounds by the next appointment in six months.... She suggested a Ketogenic Diet... . I have NEVER had a doctor suggest a diet type. Only waived a vague list of things I should or should not eat. its similar to Atkins but dialed up a bit... fewer Carbs.

Right now I cant do the diet. Within certain aspects. I need to get the book on it or sign up for a website...

My daughter is doing that diet! She's been having pain for a lot of years in her joints. Her toes of all things, hurts so so bad. Her hips shoulders wrists elbows, like I said, joints. A doctor suggested this diet. She was at the point where it wouldn't hurt to lose a few pounds. Well, wow! She's lost a lot of weight. She's down to a size 8 if not smaller. She will eat something else once in a while on vacation or a weekend, only to find that yes, the pain does come back. She says, I'm on this diet forever. Because that pain was so bad, I don't want it back. I am not familiar Edith the type of machine you are getting. The things they can do. Pretty interesting. I'm getting very discouraged with this whole thing. Another bad night.

I think my freezer is eating ice cream, so matter how much I buy, it's gone the next day.Nothing but empty containers in the sink. Gee you'd think it would wash them out at least.

 

[drumstick diva]

Freezers must be male, men don't wash anything out either.

You know the wrong men.

I am at best 'a work in progress'. Over the years she has been a tolerant and determined woman - I have adapted.
