Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Well I spent the two full weeks in the INN. I got home yesterday and I am feeling good. I did the usual course of antibiotic. I had a bunch to test to prepare me for my next trip to the transplant center in December. I was told to make sure that exercise at least 30 minutes a day. He also wants me to increase the number of time that I do my vest to 2 times a day. My lung function had stayed about the same as when I was admitted every thing seems to be holding its own right now. I will keep you posted on my next trip to NYC.

I went to the Drs today, I told him my chest was feeling heavy and I was having trouble breathing. I was coughing of streaks of blood. My lung function was at 31%. After being checked out we decided that I needed to be admitted into Club Med. So he had his nurse call the Inn and book my room for Monday. He would like to run some test to see why I am getting admitted so often. I’ll keep you posted

Well I met with the team and they said that I am still to healthy. After I got to see the Dr and answering all the questions and them checking me out they decided to wait.

Well I am getting my PIC out today. Then we are leaving for camping in NH. We picked up a used popup so that I don’t need to sleep on the ground. Every time we go I have to take my oxygen in the tent and my CPAP at night. The tent doesn’t leak but the wires are run across the ground. I don’t need to be zapped. We are going to relax for a few days in NH. I can wait. I am feeling much better my Lung function was around 36-37% when I left the hospital. We go see the transplant team in September. I’ll keep you posted.

Well I had my test and the results are in. My PFT was 29% which is normal for when I am sick. So we are going with the usual course of IV’s and chest PT and walking on the treadmill. My 6 minute walk test came back I walked 1700 feet in six minutes which is my normal. I have a long stride so that why I have such a high number. The Dr told me I need to get some things off my plate so I can take more time to rest. I am not sure at this time what that will be. I do know that it will not be the fire service if I have my way. It sounds like I’ll be in here for 8 days and the rest on hom
