Crappy Saturday

I have felt like crap all day long. It actually started last night. When I got home last night from dinner with my parents and Joanie, I took a bath, got my pjs on, put the oxygen on, and settled on the couch for a few hours watching tv and chatting with phriends. I started getting a bad headache, and by the time I went to bed, I felt awful. I didn't take anything, mainly because I knew the Excedrin would keep me awake. So I went to add water to the bubbler on my oxygen machine, and realized I didn't turn it on!! What a DUH moment!!! I figured that was why I had the headache, and thought that I would probably feel better when I got up in the morning.

Wrong!!

I woke up at 4am because something fell upstairs, and I realized I still had a slight headache. It wasn't enough to get me to go take something for it, and I really regret that decision. When I got up again at 7am to take Revatio, I finally made myself take a Tylenol, since I also had some leg pain. That did help a bit, and I fell back asleep until almost 10am. But, I have still felt like crap all day. I now think that the o2 was part of it, but also the weather. It was rainy on and off all day, and not as cold. I think the barometric pressures dropped or something! My friend, Dee, also told me her sinuses were bugging her from the weather, too. I spent the day trying to get enough fluids, talking to friends, and making a necklace set. I did take a nap in the late afternoon, and felt really hungry when I got up, but still, after eating, I felt queasy like I had all day. And it's now just before midnight, and I still feel BLAH!!! I am going to bed in a few minutes, but I sure hope I feel better tomorrow!!!

My Most Inspiring Possession

Image
A dear friend named Judi, whose journal I've been reading for years, has brought back her ARTSY ESSAY CONTEST ! I'm very excited about this, and hope that others will read the wonderful essays already posted in Judi's blog! Here is the topic for this month's new installment: What is your favorite and most inspiring possession? Tell us about it, and if you want an extra creative challenge... tell us about it without naming it until the very last sentence of your essay:):):) I own alot of possessions. When I first moved out of my parents' house, almost 9 years ago, I took this possession with me. It was mine, I had bought it, but I did allow the other members of my family to use it from time to time while I was at home. This possession has been a tremendous outlet for me to do a wide variety of things. I was able to record the barking of our first family dog, something that was cherished when she sadly died way too early for her doggy lifespan. I also was able to save...

The Ideal Day

Once again, it's that time of month for dear Judi's Artsy Essay Contest! Please see the rules and regulations for this month here . I entered a couple month's ago when Judi decided to revive this wonderful contest, and decided I'd like to give it a shot this month! Here goes! My Ideal Day My ideal day would start out at 7am to get ready for work, instead of getting up to take a pill. My ideal day would be going to work as a teacher, instead of wondering if I'd feel well enough to do anything for that day. My ideal day would be working out at a gym, instead of hoping to have enough energy to just walk for 6 minutes on the treadmill at home. My ideal day would be to freely walk about around my home and in public, instead of being tethered to a plastic tube going into my nose, providing oxygen to keep me going. My ideal day would be remembering meeting times with friends or family, instead of keeping track of the 8 different times I need to take a pill or vitamin in ...

Lost

Growing up with pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease was sometimes lonely, because there wasn't anyone around me who felt the same way I did physically. No one had to stay out of gym because they got too tired and too short of breath like I did on a constant basis. No one had to wear a holter monitor like the one time I had to in 4th grade. Talk about trying to play mum ball in class, all you could hear was the monitor thing making noise. Although I could always go to sports games, I wasn't able to participate in any type of sport, because again, it was just physically way too much for my body to handle. I didn't really regret any of this. I thought it was just me and my normal. I thought I was the only person out there who really dealt with this kind of thing, but that was ok. I graduated high school, and started college. I worked, went to classes, and in the last year of college, started going out a lot more. I graduated with my education degree, and began ...
