A Miserable Saturday
What a miserable, lousy day today has been. Sheila did a fairly quick and, thankfully, very uneventful recovery from her colonoscopy yesterday but my health crashed sometime between yesterday and today.
I spent the morning sleeping on the couch because I had absolutely no energy and I was overwhelmingly fatigued. Then I awoke around 2pm having great difficulty breathing. I took some extra medications, used my inhaler but neither seemed to make much of a difference. My inhaler rarely helps and today was no exception. Personally, I think it is because the cause of my breathing problems is not related to asthma but related to anaphylaxis. Then again, I don't really know the specifics of what happens in the lungs with this illness or with asthma. All I know is it becomes very difficult to breath at times and my inhaler rarely, if ever, helps my breathing. Anyway, today, my breathing was poor and the inhaler did not help at all.
I'm just feeling lousy. I'm having difficulty breathing... I'm flushed (I can feel my face burning)... I'm weak... I'm exhausted to the point of overwhelming fatigue... I'm dizzy... my head injury is bothering me (or is it the mast cell disease?)... my bones and joints ache... and I feel like I'm in a daze.
So, I'm going to load up on extra medications tonight which means that it will knock me out for 24 hours or more. I don't think anything will be accomplished for the next day or two. Of course, nothing has been accomplished today... and nothing was accomplished yesterday since we spent the day about an hour away for Sheila's colonoscopy.
Wasting exceedingly rare good-weather days is frustrating.
