I
am happy and grateful to say I am out of the woods. My Doctor started me again on a daily steroidal
inhaler for my asthma which also acts as a 12 hour bronchodilator, this
Monday. I had been advised at the
hospital last Friday, May 10, to return to see my primary care physician in
three days.
Luckily,
I was able to get an ER appointment with her Nurse Practitioner, the great and
only Kim, aka “P”. She also prescribed
me a Z pack, antibiotics, as I was losing my voice and having other unfortunate
choking and expectorant symptoms and do have a history of going from a mild set
of symptoms to full blown bronchitis in a day.
On
top of that, I was able to get an ER appointment with my allergist’s office,
unfortunately and inexplicably to my, my 90 year old much loved allergist
retired after having a stent put in his heart; those of whose who had been his
patients for years waited three months for his decision as to whether he’d
returned to work.
I
was due a checkup in March, but waited.
Alas, I got a letter from him, regrettably informing us he was hanging
up his needles and such.
So,
I had to see the new guy who may be about 30…or 20…or 40, I can’t tell anymore-
everyone under 42, is an enigma to me now.
But this guy turns out to be brilliant and as hyperactive and talky and
into research and naturopathic stuff as me, so we got along splendidly – and he
gave me many website referrals, as well as referrals for nutritional stuff,
vitamins and sprays and such, unfortunately we also have similar handwriting,
so I am trying to decipher it before I go to Sprouts, or perhaps I shall just
ask the staff there as they talk naturopathy and Aruveydic, speaking of which,
I’ve become over the last year quite the Aruveydic enthusiastic myself, having
been turned onto it by medical practitioner, probably the smartest, most
caring, efficient and meticulous Doctor I’ve had in my entire life.
I
bet that is the longest sentence you’ve ever seen and so not good in writing,
but I’m in a hurry and need to leave in 5 minutes.
So,
thus, things are looking up. And I know its
cause I am looking up and I am thinking more clearly, becoming more honest with
myself and taking better care of me: releasing myself from those things/people
that are not good from me and trying to address past traumas that have caused
me years of nightmares and PTSD.
It
is my friends, a wonderful life and I plan to live and cherish every moment of
it. You too. With love to my many friends, my old and new
ones and to some of my old family and my newly found family.
May
the wind always be at your back and all that….I forget the rest.
