Digression, Again.

Before all of this Pulmonary Hypertension stuff I was having issues with my esophagus. I had gone to Denver to have a surgery and several stretchings here in town. Part of the reason I was so skinny was because I couldn't swallow food! While I was in the hospital I didn't have any problems with that, nor have I had any since. I was assuming that it was fixed. I was wrong. Over the past few days I have run into problems with certain foods again. Not as bad as it was, but I am now fearful again. I now believe that it was the high doses of prednisone that I was on making my throat better. One of the treatment options I was looking at for that were injections of steroids right into the esophagus. And I am not sure if this is related or not...

Also before the PH I would get sick almost every morning. More often than not I would vomit, but not always. I would wake up, eat breakfast and get ready to take a shower. I would hop in, and after a few minutes I would be too hot, like WAY too hot. I would get kinda shakey, light headed, nauseaus, and in general feel crappy. I would hurry out of the shower, and lay down and sleep for a few hours and then be just fine. It reminded me of a mix of morning sickness and low blood sugar. Well, since Denver I haven't had any of those problems! Until this morning. I will have to call my nurse and talk to her. I am just not sure. How much of this is lupus, something else and PH?!? Why is my body doing this?!?

And I still have that DAMN cold! It isn't setteling in my chest, thankfully! But I am still coughing and feel yucky.

Otherwise I am doing well. I am smiling! I have some of my garden planted! And I am enjoying the wonderful weather! I am going to make my nieces matching dresses and me a matching shirt, so I will be busy here as soon as I really feel up to it. Niki is going to pick up the ceramics we painted at Angelo's last week, and on Saturday I will have a bunch of new pictures to pick up from Gene Taylors! Yay!!
