Hi everyone. I wanted to give an update on the ongoing saga that is my life, lol. I had several tests, a sleep study, and several doctors appointments in the last few weeks. (The picture is of us getting ready to come home after some tests) The short version: I still have 60% of my lung capacity, my lungs are clear of clots, and I have some sort of obstruction in my upper airway. The obstruction is why I am having so much trouble breathing.

Now we have to find out what is causing the blockage and fix it as soon as we can. I have more test and a referral to an Intervention Pulmonologist in St. Louis. I am under strict order to prevent any illness or infection as it could be very dangerous and was told to rush to the ER if my breathing gets any worse. So I am on lock down for the time being. I know that sounds awful, but I feel fine and am obeying my doctors and my husband. 😘

I would love to hear from everyone. If you have a few minutes this week please send me (EllaSue and JC too of course) a video saying HI. I think it will help to see y’all’s smiling faces on those bad days. 😊

I am trying to keep a blog with all the news and updates, I would love to hear everyone’s experiences with COPD, Covid, and Post Covid Syndrome. Yep, it is already a real diagnosis. http://www.headachesand hairbows.wordpress.com
