When I lived in Claremore, Oklahoma I became friends w/ the Widneys and at thanksgiving they would go around the room and everybody had to say something they were thankful for that year( and when it came to the children...that could be quite comical). So, since I have the day off I thought I would post a list of what I was thankful for.
1) My first nurse Sue who made the intimidating transition to self - infusing smooth
and near painless!
2) For my breast cancer being detected early helping me to avoid radiation (which would
have sped up my lung function deteriation)
3) That my nephew Morgan returned from his tour of duty in Iraq SAFE & SOUND!!!!
4) For my augmentation therapy being approved by my health insurance provider( I was so,
scared I would have to pay for it w/ money earmarked for a healthy home
[http://www.healthhouse.org])
5) Believe it or not the astronomical OT I've been receiving lately that is helping me pay
medical bills that keep popping up from this last summer
6) For out of this world friends, family & neighbors!!!
7) For being able to attend the alpha1 retreat this last spring and the national alpha1 convention
where I learned a lot more about alpha1 and care/prevention of deteriation of my lungs
8) For still being able to bicycle or walk w/o supplemental oxygen
I can go on but, I need to get some shut-eye. I've had no upper respiratory infection since shortly after the Hike For Healthy Lungs....with adequate rest I have high hopes of keeping it that way!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
