Quiet day here. Just found out part of my lung problems are that I have strep/pneumonia! No wonder I can't breath! I'm sure there are other problems since my lungs have been bad for 10-12 yrs., but I hope this will at least help me be able to get around better once I get done with the Rx they are calling in. Keep praying that this doc will figure all this out and get me back up and able to get some exercise without running out of air. Have a great day. God bless! Karen

Oh Karen,
I had pneumonia when I had my blood clots in October.  I loved the respiratory therapist, because she had me do breathing treatments four times a day while I was in the hospital.  I asked if I could get a nebulizer and the meds for it when I was discharged, and she arranced for me to get them for when I went home.  Now, when I have trouble with my asthma, I use the breathing treatments to give me some relief.  If you don't have a nebulizer, ask your lung doc to help you get one.  Those breathing treatments gave me such a huge relief.

Hugs,
Trish

Oh yeah I have a nebulizer and oxygen for night time, the only thing I don't have is portable oxygen which is what I really need. I seem to breathe just fine when sitting but as soon as I get up moving around I can't breath. Now I know my weight doesn't help but I was breathing better than this when I was over 300 lbs. so I know there has to be more to it. I'm glad to find this out but also hope they find something else so I can get that portable O2 then I could go for a walk or actually do housework. Hubby is doing most of it now and I'm sure he wouldn't mind giving it up! I'd really like to take care of my own house like I used to. So keep praying and hopefully they will come up with a way to get me moving!
