Also we are in the process of moving, to make our life easier. My sister and husband has done all the packing. I hope this move will be beneficial, as it is a 55-Plus community. I have been on Hospice to two years now and it is not going to change. We are looking forward to a better life, especially for my husband. He needs to play pool, golf, etc., instead of just playing "nurse."
So, in two weeks we will move and we are both ... [Read more] After Winter Shut-in, I can go out!! June 20, 2014 at 3:35pm If I feel up to it, I'm finally allowed outside.

I received word that my son, Chris, and his family are coming out west, when the flu season is over. Hospice has me grounded
until May. I am so looking forward to their visit. I haven't seen my one and only grandchild, since she was a few weeks old. She will

... [Read more] Season's Greetings Everyone! January 4, 2014 at 3:42pm I'm hoping for a mild winter here in Arizona! It's been over a year since I've been on Hospice. I'm holding my own and hoping I don't catch the flu. I'll be grounded soon(no one in or out) by hospice to keep me safe. I pray that I hold my own and will be able to participate in reviews. I cannot do the raids because I never know what the day will bring. I'm on oxygen almost 24/7, meds and the breathing machine 4 to 6 times daily. It leaves me little time to participate... [Read more] Getting Ready For Winter! December 18, 2013 at 1:15pm It will be a year on December 28th that Hospice has been taking care of me. My nurse Marlene still comes once a week and another volunteer comes on Fridays. I'm having a "Good Day" but I know once the flu season hits, I will be housebound. That's when I know I will be able to catch up on WDC on my "good days." I hope to participate with reviews, etc.

I'm not used to being there for him, but hospice says no. I've been chained to my house since December because of the flu season...Sigh
At least I won't have to go to the "Chicken Farm" to stay while husband is not here. I call it that because they only have chickens and horses there. Horses okay, but chickens? Really? No dogs or cats, unless someone there has a pet of their own ... [Read more] No call from older son! April 27, 2013 at 12:24pm I hadn't heard from him since before Christmas. No cards any time...Except he SAID he sent for e-mails.
I'm on hospice and I have to chalk it up as he hates me...For what I don't know. I sent him a card for his birthday in April...No reply. Had a few e-mails go back and forth. I asked him if he sent them to his poor cats. I'm 71 and he's hurt me for the last time!
... [Read more] Trying to Stay Strong! April 3, 2013 at 4:05pm Sometimes I wonder how I can. I have a son who hasn't sent any e-mails or call me since begining of December.
Of course I'm sad, but you know what? I'm on hospice and he has been so mean to me over the years. I've decided that I'm not sending a B'day card to him this month. He said he sent 4 e-mails to me in January. He lies so much and I have to be strong for myself. I really don't need him at this point in my life, now do I? It's still all my fault because of ... [Read more] A LONG HAUL! March 18, 2013 at 4:18pm Before New Year's, I was kept under quaranteen because of the flu season. I will be able to go "out" hopefully at the end of this month...I wear oxygen and use my motorized chair in the house. It is what it is...COPD is a tough illness. I only have about 29 percent lung function. When I have a good day, I am thankful!

... [Read more] Too Much Stuff! March 2, 2013 at 3:40pm It's been a long time since I wrote on my blog. Sickness and everything just kept me away. That is about the sum of it all. Hospice still comes once a week and I'm still grounded until after flu season!
Mother-in-law had a stroke and hubby has been busy with her, me and his alcoholic brother. Really, I guess it can be worse? She's going to Texas to live out her life (89) with a daughter there. No one could begin to know what Les (hubby) has been through.

have a chair for the house. It seems in the afternoon I

November 5, 2012 at 2:22pm After my long illness,for the first time in almost two years I got away to relax and see the beauty of Lake Powell, Glen Canyon Dam.

I saw the beautiful Air Balloons Regatta and everything else. I had all my meds and oxygen with me. It was the most beautiful 5 days I have spent in a very long time. I thank god that all was good and the weather was perfect!

I am having COPD Therapy three times weekly, tests galore, etc. I now have a new lung doctor, after having been sick since December 1st and death had visited my door twice. I have been on oxygen almost 24/7 and now I am improving somewhat with new medication, etc. I have to carry oxygen to go walking, shopping, etc. This summer, I was not allowed to fly back east to see my children and one and only granddaughter.
Here's the bummer: My husband's alcoholic brothe... [Read more] Family Crisis Here! July 9, 2012 at 3:51pm OMG! It's a good thing I have my faith. My husband's brother was found in a motel room with a broken hip and
pelvis. He had been on a binge. We had to deal with his
87-year old mother to boot. I had to have a cat scan on my lungs (not bad to do) because I have a new lung doctor. The upshot of it all? I have a tare in my rotator cup What's next? ...

[Read more] COPD May 25, 2012 at 3:19pm I have been on oxygen and using my nubulizer 4x daily(sometimes more). My life has changed considerably. My
day is taken up with these meds, approximately 5 hours
a day. I have accepted it because I need to do this if I want to breathe. It's as simple as that. I knew years ago that I had COPD, but it has gotten progressively worse.
I became house-bound and my loving husband is my caretaker. My only relief is WDC and going out for a few hours to go shopping. Of course, I am on oxygen an... [Read more] What a Weekend! April 16, 2012 at 1:44am I had two busy shifts with the Power Reviewers. Also,
at 9 AM on the dot, my husband had sceduled vent cleaning because of my COPD. Of course, he didn't know
my scheduled shifts.
I had to wear a mask, use oxygen and plug my ears for the noise. Needless to say I had to get up at 7 AM to do my morning rituals of using "La Machine," meaning my nebulizer with meds for COPD and Asthma. What a damn cirucus! I couldn't begin to do my 12 PM shift on Saturday, until almost 3 PM.
