Even with the nebulizer, my chest has been tight all day. I was
careful, though, and listened to m’self – I soon learned when to lift and
shift, and when to rest. Most of my new medical equipment was blocking the
closet, so after Beloved Hubby hoisted the metric ton of dirty clothes to the Laundromat
last night, and brought home clean ones, it was kinda difficult to put it all
away. I figured out that by donating a surplus of books I wasn’t gonna be
reading again – including Angela’s Ashes,
a great read, but too depressing to waft through twice – and getting a few
other things ready to be donated, I could move the medical over by my side of
the bed, rearrange a few boxes, and poof, now we can easily get to our clothes.
Hopefully I’ll soon be out and about and can get those heavy books out of the 4Runner’s
trunk.
It’s also easier for me to get to all my stuff when I need to.
Employed an unused knitting stand to hold nebulizer supplies, then filled the
hole in the nebulizer tube box with the bag of hoses that go to the oxygen
exchanger and cylinders. The ‘torpedo’ – huge emergency O2 cylinder that’ll
last for at least two days – is next to my window, out of the way, no longer a
threat to toes, but its stand comfortably nestles the shoulder-bag cylinder
when it’s not being used. The unused, bigger ones are in the living room. That
reminds me, tomorrow I have to wash the exchanger filter…
Other than that, it was a quiet day. Beloved had to work, but was
home early, looking exhausted. I got him down for a nap (hopefully one that
lasts all night !) around 6pm. Thanks to me, Dearest Son has found the delights
of Roger Corman car films – Eat My Dust!,
Grand Theft Auto – starring Ron Howard. I think it’s funny that he’d been
on Happy Days for years, but he didn’t
share a single scene with Marion Ross (Mrs. Cunningham) in GTA.
Oh, and Netflix gets Bad
Santa sometime in July. One of my favorites, definitely not for the kiddies
! Watch it in a bad mood – or a good one.
