Good Evening my friends hope you all are doing well ! just a little note on my prior post I stated the picture I took on Thanksgiving Morning was a picture of the "Sunset" duh ! It should have said "Sunrise" and I had not had any egg nog at the time of that writing !
On another note....I had the Bronchoscopy done this past Friday the 5 Th. wow what an experience that was, I arrived at the hospital at 5:15 am to get prepped and of course they could not get the IV in my veins did not want to cooperate they finally had to call the "IV Team, bingo first shot IV in. my wrist .of course the next time was to put it in my hand...no, no, no, not a happening thing especially with the Rheumatoid Arthritis which was swollen to the hilt !
The nurse gave me a shot to relax me, then the the Respiratory Therapist said, ok Sandy relax I am going to spray your nose to numb your throat, I was ok with that, then he said ok I am going to swab your nostrils with a gel and then insert this Q tip to see which side will be the best for the Dr. to insert the instrument to see into your lungs...well by then I was bye, bye....Then I remember waking up in recovery and heard the Nurse saying "Sandy" breathe deep, guess my o2 dropped to below 86 ! of course they then, then gave me 02, then called my pulmonologist to tell how what was going on, he ordered a Breathing Treatment with Albuterol...well the therapist came with the mask put it on my face and walked away !
I may be old fashioned but, what ever happened to Hi my name is ! How are you today, I am going to give you breathing treatment ordered by your Dr.
When the treatment was done I took of the mask and called to the nurse ! Lesson learned my friends ask a bunch of questions, make sure you know each and every move these folks are going to do when it comes to your personal care. I am just recovering from the anesthesia dang it not sure how much of that stuff they gave me, perhaps the reason for my 02 level to drop so low.
From what I understand the Pulmonologist took several samples to have analyzed and I should get the scoop on the 12 Th. of this month, I am trying to be optimistic as it is my Sisters birthday
and I know she is watching over me.
The message today my friends is be optimistic, ask as many questions as possible, oh one other item, I am still having a big problem with "Thrush" I told the Pulmo. Dr. Fri. am...no reply from him so time will tell , I will see what happens on the 12 Th.
