YES!!!!!!

For the first time since January, I went without extra oxygen at night. I woke up feeling fine…no puffiness or redness or chest pain. YES!!!! I sooooo want to quit needing supplemental oxygen.

Except for the usual arthritis aches and pains and the myasthenia muscle stuff, I feel pretty good :-) My good days would  probably seem like awful days to the average person, but I’m grateful. It’s nice not to be so gosh darn sick.

My stroke/myasthenia/lupus brain leaves a lot to be desired. I think my forgetfulness and ditziness bothers Heather way more than it bothers me. I am blissfully ditzy, often not even noticing my deficits. I DO notice how difficult it is to come up with the right words. I think I just need more practice hanging out with people and using my verbal skills. I have come a very long way from my stroke on January 1st!

With all the windows and the door open, the apartment is full of fresh air. I keep the overhead fan on 24/7. I now know what the tree is across from my bedroom window. It’s a mock orange. I love them! In the two weeks I have been gone, it filled out with lush leaves and is covered in blossoms. I cannot see the whole field any more, but can from my living room window. Now that summer is here, everything is soooooo green and flowers are everywhere.

The garden jumped from transplants to a full scale growing machine in two weeks! It sure is nice to see how well the plants have put down roots and shot up. The peas are so nice and tidy. Geeze…as long as critters stay out and weather remains favorable, that garden should produce a heck of a lot of food. It’s approximately 3000 sq feet.

I sure as heck wish there was a way for Heather to get to her pics! She has hundreds of fantastic pics of the garden and each place we have been. I’m thinking I might be able to get them if I bought a card reader. We will see……

Guess what Heather did? She made pancakes for breakfast with blueberry syrup. What a treat! :-)
