Sunday/Funday...not especially...but productive....
I have spent much of the day washing slipcovers and IRONING them OMG...in preparation for my family room just off the kitchen which has been painted and waiting for coat 2 on one wall and baseboard paint all around.
 Then we start on the kitchen which also needs a color change and some new back splash tile behind the range and sink area.
 It will create a real face lift to the room and since i spend so much time in here it is worth the effort and give me a feeling of moving forward in my life.
 I am also starting Pulmonary Rehab on Tuesday and am looking forward to all the positive changes it may promise....

Friday again...it's been a Cave kind of week ie one where I am happy when it is raining to help justify my isolation....doing bits and pieces of house work...got on a cooking tear the other day so that amused me.
I went to BJ's and that was exhausting,,,all that walking was good for me but left me tired.
Bad news from Sue,,,she has breast cancer and is starting Chemo today...my heart is with her and my brother...she has always been there for me.
 I need to pick up my prescriptions today so that is my big chore...fighting the traffic to Ocean View and back on a Friday in August...
 I have been reading a lot so my concentration is improving and I am getting the hang of the portable oxygen..so going out isn't as much of an ordeal...especially if there is a cart to hold on to.

Busy week last week..The Boys came to visit...ie  Zak, Gabe and Gustav...It was a treat to see them..they gave me a heads up a few weeks ago so I was somewhat prepared.
 All went well except that a had a fall at my Brothers house in Annapolis which left me with a fat lip and a chipped tooth.
 My balance is not good and lugging oxygen along with my purse is a burden. I confess I had some wine but it was such a fun evening until the crash.
 I am OK actually ...I still have a PT coming this week and we have been working on balance and it was my own fault to not have my cane with me as he suggested I use outside.
  I saw my Pulmonologist on Monday and he was pleased with the results of the procedure that bonded the pleural sac to my lung. My lower right lobe is not functional at all...which is still better than the surgery option which would have take out the middle lobe as well.
 I am breathing better but am on O2 24-7...
 I met up with some friends from High School yesterday for lunch..., my boyfriend Paul, his now wife Patty and Billy Regner.
 I was disappointed that Mary Ellen didn't show up :-(
 She was my crazy girlfriend in the 'Hood...
