After coffee at Panera this morning, we tried to get some oxygen.
The Air people told us that they needed the test results within 48 hrs of testing to get the Oxygen from Medicare. Its been a week or so since the test so now we have to take another test somewhere. You would think someone might have mentioned it to us.
Karolyn was upset. Everything we do, it seems we have to take a step backwards. And she's nervous that soon i will be complaining that its too cold up North and I'll start whining: I WANNA GO TO FLA.
Too much pressure all together and she showed it for a few moments this afternoon.
Its not nice to see her crying and I realized that she has been told that Jim has a really bad heart and something on the lungs besides the Pulmonary Fibrosis. Things don't look good for us spending our Golden Years together.
A little hug just doesn't do it for her. But she is strong and we've been thru similiar stuff for a couple decades now.
Like Roseanne Ann Adana said: If its not one thing its another.

First day at coffee...since the dr
Tues:
The morning was interesting.
Went out to Mcds for coffee and talk. And met my coffee friends.
I was late as I slept in but they were still there at 8:30am.
The first words out of their mouth of course.....You're Late....
Next was Well, what did the dr tell you.
I told them I was confused and didn't know exactly what was going on with my lungs. I didn't talk loud and tried to just keep the attitude of all our breakfast conversations. Light and fun and a little descriptive.
Explained a little of what was going on and of course got some looks but then we talked about the usual stuff.
Pat, discussed Greece and the problems with them.
Phil, was talking about his personal problems.
Mr. Lee was talking but no one could understand. Finally, I understood....Jimmy..what you go were and now i leave...
But with his smile we all laughed.
After coffee and a $1 burrito I went home. Talked to K who insisted we do all the things the dr told us to. Oxygen, Petscan and meds.
Did it all and returned candy to Walmart and shopped at Costco. Its so interesting sitting by the eating areas and watching the people walk by. All so different...You never know what you will see.
But first WEDS we go for coffee and again a few questions from all my Panera coffee friends.
I don't mind talking about the lungs. Its good, but I think about them too much.
So thurs morning at 7:15 I'll be taking the test for 2 hrs.
