The pain is coming under control and the vital signs seem to be stabilizing.
I have a fever, my PB is more often times normal and my Pulse/O2 is getting back to where is should be.
Even though I wear O2 at 3 liters when I am not well, the O2 level has been falling back toward 2.5 and will probably hit 2.0 before the week is over.
The pneumonia is hurting badly and impedes my breathing as it shifts toward the side as it always does.
Inside the lungs, they found the cause of much of my bleeding. Over the years I have coughed up these little sp-ikey crystalline bits of what ever. My doc found the source yesterday but did not have time to elaborate.
There in lies the rest of what is wrong with me. I find out today and of course, in the middle of the night, I expect the worse. Even though all the evidence points toard a beign cause for my pain and whoa, only time will tell. At this point about eight to ten hours stand between me and some sort of resolution. I'm not gonna poo poo all this, it could be nasty, but I believe in my doc and trust him. He has beem correct before.
As soon as I find out, I will let you know.
I think I can handle anything that comes my way now. No more bad habits, no more destructive bevaviour and even a good (well, fairly good) diet.
Pulse/Ox 97/102 The O2 level is at 3.
Temp 99.2.
Best snack I have come up with in the last few weeks? Celery stick pre cut and Jiff peanut butter. Good fiber with high protein. Down side, high sat fat.
