Today was “revelation” day. Whoopee! I have COPD and Congestive Heat Failure - gee, big surprise there, Doc! I knew that a few years ago! Good news is I don’t have “the big three”, which would be COPD, athsma and emphysema....just the one. My sister Linda had all three. So I’m getting some fancy new inhaler to do once a day in the morning (forgot what it’s called) as soon as our required mail order pharmacy gets around to filling and sending it. I have to do a home sleep study. I asked her if it mattered how much sleep I got when I did it, and she said to try for about 5 hours. Guess that’ll be an Ambien-and-a-half night! Um, she didn’t that was a good idea so she’ll have to take what she can get. I have to back up to Billings on Wednesday, pick up the monitor and learn how to do it, then drop the monitor off back up there on Thursday. Then I have to have a “low dose Cat Scan”, whatever the heck that means, to check for nodules in my lungs.

Good grief!! Think I’ll have a quick smoke and a margarita and call it good. But we didn’t have any bad weather going or coming home, and I got Famous Dave’s out of it. Silver linings! Pay me no mind...I’m just crabby and my chest hurts from the PFT - who knew breathing could leave you light headed and sore! Not doing THAT again, I don’t care what she says!
 
Aaaw gees Blooie that does sound tiring :hugs

When I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease they did a double whammy angiogram through the groin and the wrist but while doing that they also did a test which I do not know the name of where they actually put the heart under stress or do something that I believe kind of simulates a heart attack?? Anyways, I did not know they were going to do that until they already had me on the table and hooked up but I can tell you, I am not doing THAT again! Worse feeling ever! Couldn't breath and felt like I was going to pass out etc :sick Scary stuff!

Thank You! I did not know what it was or that I was going to have one until they had me trapped but yeah, I'll pass on another one of those thank you .. lets not and say we did :p
 
Oh, and guess which ninny didn't lock one of the quail cages this morning after giving them fresh food?! I walked out this afternoon and saw two dustbathing by the chicken run, then another (who I half stood on in my rush to get the first two I spotted - hope she'll be ok), then another - took awhile to find the 5th one. Thankfully my favourite girl had stayed in the cage (smart girl)! :barnie

Oh dear; I think we have all done something similar at some time which is why I compulsively check the coop and run door multiple times of an evening before convincing myself that I have closed them :rolleyes:
