My Status

Well I am gonna give blogging another shot and see how it goes…

One of the issues I had was my health, if you don’t know I have COPD (emphysema) for about 3 years now. Since the Blowneyed gathering in Kerrville 2 years ago I have had to use a nebulizer to get medication to my lungs which I have to do 6 times a day…

In the last 3 years my problems with breathing has gone from not to bad to damn hard, some days I feel normal and then on the others I seem to have a big problem with shortness of breath…

Just going to get groceries is a pain, walking from the car to the store makes me feel like I have ran a marathon and so I sit on a bench and catch my breath which sometimes takes almost 5 minutes…

I was wanting to go to the Blowneyed gathering this year but I see it will be at a ranch with accommodations for sleeping bunkhouse style and will be in July… When it gets hot I stay inside as much a possible as the dry heat just does not work well for me, and I also cough alot, day and night, which would mean anyone sleeping in the same room would be woken up at least 2 to 3 times a night…

Any way I will do some posting here when I feel ok…

Here is an animation of how different lung conditions look like..
