February 2011

So far this has been a Busy Month for me...But I have Survived and Stayed Sober doing it...LOL

One of the Things that I am kind of Proud of is that on the 6th of February, I had 17 years of Sobriety...

I did not do this Alone...I do have a Higher Power that I Call GOD...

I do Believe that He/She has kept me Alive and Sober for a Reason....

What that reason is I have know Idea...But I don't have too Know...

With everything going on I kind of lost track of my Program, No not like that, just what I am doing and why am I here....Kind of took the Easier Softer Way in a lot of things...using my not feeling well too just sit back and coast along...When making a choice of which path to follow...

The only Point being that as soon as you do go down one Path your Thinking that you should have taken the other one...LOL

But as we all Know Life is Not that Simple...

Very Often we are offered many Paths from which to choose...

This is when we have too Listen too Hear God Talking too us...

I have found that there are Times...That God my Higher Power wants me too Forge Ahead just knowing

that He/She is with me but I must make my own Road....

These are the Times that Test a man...

But I have Faith...and Trust in God.."My God"

14 Febuary 2011 or St. Valentine's Day or Cardio Echo Test Day

Such a Fun Day, had to go into the VA Hosp. for this Cardio Echo Test (see below) Not my Heart...
But today's test proved that I have One, that I seen on the Screen that looked like this...
It's not a Bad or Hard Test...But it is Cold and they only cover you with a small towel...I think it's more for the Tech. so they don't come into too much contact with your Naked upper Body...Then the sliding Jell on the instrument that produces the ultrasound is Cold n Wet...




The simple explanation of the Test is they put the little Electrode Pads (3) Three of them. On your body...setting up X/Y Axis (remember your Math Class) They also add (1) more Electrode Pad that is a little different...So we have X/Y/Z Axis's they have Added Height to get the 3D effect. OK here I should Explain that the Little Electrodes are like Microphones and the Instrument that the Tech holds is like a Speaker..Only using Ultrasound...Alright are you with me so far...? That's the Basics, everything after that  is PFM (pure fu**ing Magic) no just kidding...The Computer in the unit takes over and calculates the speed of the  Ultrasound Waves and the reflection off the Heart Tissue and gives you a Graphic Display...

Don't Ask how I know so much...BTDT...

So that was my St. Valentine's Day

Still Hanging

It's been a Wild Ride, over the Past few Weeks...Blood Pressure and Hart Rate have come down to a Normal Level for me...But I just do not feel as Good as I did a Few Weeks Ago...

I have a Call into my Doc at the VA Today

I had a Very rough Night Last Night...I had the sensation of not getting enough AIR in my Lungs...

Shortness of Breath

This has been going on all Day Yesterday...every time I moved around or did things I had too STOP and Breath for a few Minutes...

I am on Oxygen 24/7....but Normally I can Sleep with NO, O2 just have it near by.

The Doctor had me STOP using one of my Inhalers that has a STEROID in it...

I am just wondering if this is Part or All my Problem...

Well just Waiting too Hear...I Hope he calls Soon...10:45AM

OK it is Now 17:45 (05:45PM)

I heard from my Primary Care Doctor

And he Said to go back on the Inhaler Medication he had me STOP...

Ahhh...I can Breath Again...

With in a few minutes I was feeling a Whole lot Better...

Starting a New Year of Sobriety to Day God Willing.....
