Sunshine Every Afternoon and Sickness and Wellness

I love the way the sunshine comes
 in, in the afternoon.


 


So I ended up having the croupy cough for 3 and 1/2 weeks but NP Walker had sent me to an ENT to see if I could get better breathing in my nostrils.  I had a deviated septum operation in the 70s and I had cancer twice on my nose so the nostril was small.  Dr. Robbins said surgically he could do something but he wanted me to try Flonase for 3 weeks first.  I told him I thought I should not take inhaler except saline and he said it is a steroid but you can take it every day for the rest of your life and it will not harm you.

Guess what, taking flonase every night has been amazing.  I can breathe, I won't need any apparatus to help me breathe better!!!!!  However, because of the cougth and I was tested for covid twice and it was not covid, just a virus, I am staying away from the dining room and crowds.  I have not been attending church but watch it on Zoom.  Then I got a UTI and my NP. Jessica Walker has transfered to Park City so I had to go to Insta Care for a prescription and it did not finish the job so I went back and the put me on Cipro for another 5 days and cleared that up.  Then as had happened before I got thrush after all the antibiotics and I am clearning it up with Genitian Violet.

I am still staying away from the dining room (pick up my food and bring to room) and crowds such as activities and church.  I am trying to build up my immune system and I am sleeping well and eating less though I do consume desserts and sugar....  I do need to get a new specialist under Dr. Jones, I believe, before I can have my spring checkup.

I have had angina 3 times and my legs ache sometimes and I am sleeping more, that may be because of the aortic valve but I do not want to have the TAVR done.  

I have been told more than once now that it does not prolong your life that long and other problems can happen.  I found out that Bill Hayford had it done in 2015 and died in March 2016 anyway. 

So I am trying to walk twice a day with Sadie but sometimes only do it once.  I am sleeping well.
I also need to wash the windows of the patio doors.
