im awake + an update

[Guest guest]

well i am awake, i cant breathe if i lay down, so i have to sit up

just to breathe. and my lung dr says there are no changes... ya right!

i saw stomach dr today about my liver counts being elevated and he

isnt too concerned, i guess they are not elevated enough to worry but

he will be keeping a close eye on it. he knows what is causing the

coughing but i cant even pronounce the word let alone spell it - but

it has to do with my lungs. he was going to contact my lung dr and

tell him he needs to get on this problem asap. i am running a fever

again tonight it has gotten to 103.4 as of 2:26am and along with that

comes the vomitting, and chills. stomach dr says the vomitting is

caused from the coughing because i only vomit after i have been

laying down, and having difficulty breathing. the fevers dont appear

unless i have been laying down either so its all tied together.

I am to call lung dr tomorrow and make an appt asap.

BTW things here on the home front seem to be getting better. Mike

left Tuesday to start his new job. He is in Buffalo now, 2 of his

friends got him in that he use to drive with before relco. as far as

this new company is concerned they do not need relco for a reference

and they don't see the accident either. his buddies who work for this

company are highly thought of and this new company is taking their

word for it. so the stress levels here at home should subside soon.

also this companies medical benefits are blue cross blue shield so i

am happy. right now we have preferred care the 2nd largest medical

ins co. here in ny but we are paying 600.00 a month through cobra so

after 90 days we can switch to the new companies and mike will only

be paying 80.00 a week for both of us, including dental, which we

don't currently have right now - so woo hoo...

well fever is finally droping most likely because i am sitting up. i

took 2 demerol's to see if that would help me to sleep but nope not

even touching me. even though i am allergic to demerol i took it off

my list this week when i went to the ER because i needed something

for the pain from fracturing my clavicle and i knew they wouldnt give

me morophine. the only allergy i seem to be having is breaking out

with a rash and hives but i can tolerate that.

well going to go play some pogo for awhile till i can hopefully get

tired enough to fall asleep sitting up, apparently i cant do it

laying down and if i go to the ER for it they will just treat it as

an asthma attack since my chest x-rays show no change of the damage i

already have.

hope everyone is have sweet dreams, and are pain free. will keep you

all informed when i know more.
