Well Saturday found us with much cooler temps, over cast skies and even a drizzle of rain. I never went out of the house as the cool air isn't good for the lungs and while I slowly think I'm getting better I didn't want to take a chance. Nancy has her sore throat again but is able to talk. I'm still coughing some what especially when I practice these breathing techniques to strengthen the lungs. I'm just amazed at how much this pneumonia has taken out of me both with loss of energy and shortness of breath.
I read and watch videos for most of the day until the NFL playoff games came on TV and then I tuned into to watch where the cold and the snow was a factor in each game. Both home town teams lost and today the Bucs play here in Tampa. Let's home the home town team wins today. The Packers lost which I thought would be the biggest obstacle to the Bucs repeating as champions, especially playing in the frozen north; but since they are gone I think our chances have increased to repeat.
Bobby and Amy's families are coming for a family dinner and to watch the game. It will be good to have all the grands here together. On a somber note it not looking good for Paw Paw as he is on morphine these last couple of days. Seems his infection is through out the body and its just a matter of hours and maybe days. Pat brought him back to her house so he wouldn't pass in the hospital. There isn't much they can do for this 94 year old body except keep him comfortable as much as possible. I spoke with her yesterday and she is making arrangements. I mentioned I had better not travel with these lungs especially in the cold temps and take a chance on this pneumonia recurring. She agreed completely so we will pay our respects come summer time for both Uncle Frankie and Paw Paw respectfully.
My O2 levels fluctuate through out the day but mainly are in the middle 90's. I'm now I'm officially off the steroids which I hope makes a difference in the lungs ability to heal themselves. Shortness of breath occurs when I'm doing anything physical which just annoys me and makes me wonder if and when I will regain my love for physical activities, oh well. I should just appreciate the fact I can breathe and at least function some what, LATER
