Good evening to friends and family,
This has been an interesting day. This morning the phone range and someone said, this is Sylvia, well it was not the Sylvia I normally talk to so I ventured deeper into the call. Turns out it a contact from Match.com who I had started to have contact with yesterday through email. Good thing, she seems like one of the normal ones, bad thing she lives in Fontana, near LA. Now that makes for a long term relationship for sure.
She here she was on the phone and we had a great chat during which I got an order and I had to call her back afterwards. She has been alone for 2 years and is starting to reach out and I liked what she had to say.
It was interesting to say the least.
This morning I went to Kaiser to see a pulmonary specialist. It was a very excellent visit and I felt we made a lot of progress. All the way from my getting to see my lungs from the recent x ray and my heart to his listening to my very noisy lungs. Out of our conversation I came home with
Prednisone for 5 days. A med for acid reflux and a powerful nasal spray to get at the nasal drainage.
An interesting idea was floated about my house, could it be filled with mold? That came from my observation that when I have traveled to Costa Rica and Hawaii I stop coughing, is it because I'm relaxed, is it due to the warm moist air or is it because I'm escaping my house?
So in light of that question I'm going to be keeping a very careful eye on how I do when I board the motorhome on Wednesday for Weed and stay in the motorhome and their home until I come back on Sunday evening. Will the coughing decrease?
The doctor wants me to keep him informed with frequent emails. He also had me email him the details about my CPAP mask so he could order a new one along with tubing since they need to be replaced every 6 months. That was a huge deal since I've been buying my own supplies for awhile from the web without any support from Kaiser.
So it was a big deal for me today, to be heard, to be cared about and to have some possible answers to something that haunts me everywhere I go and all the time. To think of a world where I don't have these awful bouts of coughing is like a dream.
Marilyn came home this afternoon and now the cat and dog are right beside here competing for her attention. They will have withdrawal pains when she leaves for Rhode Island.
Tomorrow is a big day in that I'm writing reports, loading the motorhome and will have both Kallie and Keanna here for the day. Nikki is working and Steve had two properties to see. This whole thing with Steve getting orders all the time is a total answer to prayer, it is just great. He has been very busy loading his house with exterior lights and it looks great. What a guy.
Well I'm heading to bed and sending love to all,
Tim
