Keep us posted Donna, we're all thinking about you and wishing you well.

I really appreciate everyone here. I am always in awe as to
how you pick me up when I have fallen.

This is a trying week. Today I go to the pulmonist to see if
there is anything we can do for my asthma.

And of course tomorrow for the rest.

Donna

How did the pulmonologist visit go?

Well it seems he isn't interested in doing anything but charging me
money. My lungs are fine is all he says.

My asthma doctor wants to know if there is anything else to do for
my asthma. Hmmm, maybe a different pulmonist

Thinking of you!

Thanks Mari

Thats exactly the thought I had too. And its the way I've felt with my
PT too. And with the way I've been treated by the staff that has been
treating me there. So I am being spoiled by them to a degree.

Thankgoodness or I don't think I would have found the guts to worry about
me.

But todays appointment, the doctor is good, she worried the right amount.
First she worried about the meds I'm on, checked to see if any
of the ones I'm on can be the problem. Nope don't seem to be. Next we
talked about the support hose, Am I wearing them all the time. Yes, good.

Because thats the thing we do with the problem your having, I'm not sure
I'm spelling the first word right. It sounds like Ortho hypotension.

Anyway, then she said, have you ever had a tilt table. No I haven't

Would you be willing to have one. Yes. Do you know what it is. To a degree
I do. I have heard of them, and I need to research some more. But they
are given in lots of cases when seizures are thought, but not seen in EEG's
but then heart issues are though maybe.

Anyway, then they were supposed to do a sit down which was already done.

And a stand up blood pressure check, but at 2 minutes of standing, well the
girl that was to do it, was trying to schedule I think the tilt table, after 5 or 6
minutes when I was back to fine pretty much. She came in telling me that
they would after all call and schedule it. And as a after thought kind of
yelled out to the nurse, oh I'm supposed to be checking her blood pressure too.

So suffice to say it was 132/85 and 132/95 which was down from the PT's
readings a hour earlier.

Donna

You take blood pressure medication?
A tilt table sounds very interesting....
Sounds like your doctor is paying attention?

I take one for my migraines. But have for 3 or 4 months now. But its
not something that should be causing this. She double checked for
this.

I'm just waiting.

I had a workshop for parents last night, in a town close by. And Now I'm
worried I might have had someone from the cooperative that I have trouble
with. NOt realizing she works for them.

I'm afraid of this because she took the evaluation sheet she was filling out
with her. And wasn't to open with the information about herself or her children.

Now I'm worried. But its over and its life. I didn't lie so I shouldn't worry.
