Not Better
Though I am at work, I am not better. I am wheezing, sputtering, and coughing like an old car. One more day of prednisone. I don't remember ever going this long without feeling better. When I am at home in bed I am fine because the air is like that of a isolation unit but anywhere else I am literally gasping. Are you tired of hearing about this? It has been less than a week and I am tired of writing about it. My coworkers are telling me I am pale and puffy looking. I can't even get my wedding ring on because my fingers are so puffy from the prednisone. Asthma sucks. Literally. It sucks the oxygen right out of my body.
When I was being given intravenous prednisone, I blew up like a barrage balloon. On the plus side? No wrinkles. None.
ReplyDeleteGet better soon.
Maybe the asthma is a reaction to all the dust your husband is kicking up?! Tell him to stop cleaning! Lol!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how long it would take before he started to make you feel crazy. When my hubby retires, I will go to work full time because there ain't NO way I can entertain him four weeks out of four, two is enough!!
Note the time. It's three a.m. And I'm awake. FML.
Hope you feel better soon.. the medicine's side effects sound unpleasant!
ReplyDeleteGosh..I'd love someone to do some clearing out for me!..
Glad to hear you are well enough (are you?) to be back at work. Please take good care of yourself. It all sounds horrid and you are very brave.It makes me realise how lucky I am to be in good health physically all these years. I guess I know what you mean about your husband being at home and driving you crazy - or starting to. However I would be happy that someone was cleaning up for me. You should see the mess around here lately!
ReplyDeleteI'm dreading the thought of my partner retiring. I think I will have to leave home.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better very soon!
Sorry about the asthma but gosh, your husband's stories made me laugh ! Bon courage ! xx
ReplyDeleteSteroids sure are a mixed blessing, aren't they? I hope that with your time off comes some relief in the asthma.
ReplyDeleteAs to your husband- dear god. He needs a part time job or a volunteer situation or a hobby. A hobby which doesn't involve the house. Do you have a garage?
Sorry you are still sick....but please let me borrow your husband ....I would love to have a husband that cleans and organizes:) funny how we want what we don't have
ReplyDeleteSounds like hubby is a tad bit bored. It's hard to pass the day when you're used to it flying by with a job. Why not think of jobs around the house that you've wanted to get to but have no time for, and suggest them to him? Better a husband that wants to do things and keep busy than one that will become a couch potato! You just need to be a little creative with this.
ReplyDeleteSee if you can get him to take over ALL the housework! That'd be pretty sweet, eh?
ReplyDeleteSo does the prednisone make you irritable or even angry? We have a friend who must take it from time to time for COPD and when doing so, she says she must stay home from work or she'd kill all her co-workers cuz of "roid rage." I assume she's exaggerating slightly but . . . .
Ha ha ha...
ReplyDeleteI would definitely read that blog!!!
Does he have any hobbies???
Other than annoying you, that is!
Get better...for the love of god!!!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
You make me happy that my doctor didn't prescribe Prednisone for my bells palsey. It really sounds like a terrible drug. Hope you are free and clear soon.
ReplyDeleteWow, he sounds like he needs a hobby! Send him out to go garden or volunteer somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are better soon.
One good thing. Your parcel is in the post. Not sure how long it will take to get to you. Hope you feel better by the time it arrives.
