Happy

When I was 20 years old I walked diagonally across Wyoming in a straight line.

Stomp, as in Becky's story, lol. A man walked into a book store and asked the attendant, where is your self help section. She said, I can't tell you, that would defeat the purpose of the section.

Go big Kevin....

Wow Eric, your comments about us not being forceful enough in our own advocacy strikes a raw note with me as well. I've been thinking the same thing lately and especially since this month is breast awareness month and it gets a huge amount of attention. I just can't help but think, how do we find major spokespersons for us like there are for breasts. Yes Eric the concentrator makes the oxygen that I breath from room air and I am on 6 liters all of the time. I can't go anywhere without considering do I have enough bottle oxygen to get through whatever the occasion may be. When we went out of town this spring I had to take the concentrator with us so that i could stay overnight. The machine weighs 66 lbs and is about the size of a medium suitcase. Latest reports from my doctors are still that the damage in my lungs will heal but may take up to 10 years to do so. All I have to do is stay alive for it to happen. Welp ya'll have a good day and still praying our east coasters are weathering the storms well. Donny

Just stopped by to see if Judy in Jersey is here. Hopefully they are ok in all of the rain. Looks awfully nasty there. Hopefully Randy is ok too and all others on the east coast. We have been in the 80s everyday here lately, even a few 90s. Have set a few new record highs but looking forward to some rain this weekend. I think I may be healing a little bit, not going to run out and do anything stupid but would love to have a bit of feeling better. Yesterday we had a short power outage that kinda freaked me out. My concentrator just shut down and I wasn't getting any air and didn't know why. I didn't realize the power had gone off. Guess I should make sure my generator is always ready to go just in case. Have a whole day all. See you soon. Donny

Wow cool Randy, I can almost smell the bread. Baked goods are my biggest passion, foodwise. I just love everything baked. Fresh bread could keep me alive and cinnamon rolls would make me willing to forget I ever knew what sex was. I am surprised I'm not 250 lbs.Thanks for sharing, story was nicely done as well. Donny

Now that I've gotten the hang of this it's really not too challenging to put these on here. It makes me sad that I can't even play this well anymore due to my lack of stamina but it makes me glad that I did record a lot of music when I was able. Goes to show we never know what the future holds for us, live in the day so we can have the memories to hold on to. This is a song written by Janis Ian back in the 70s and I fell in love with it when I heard it so I learned it. Janis Ians, Light A Light http://www.muziboo.com/dahknee/music/light-a-light/

Painfully hilarious....

Thank you for nice comments. A lot of songs have always seemed to describe my life. Yesterday has fit me too many times, but I still love the song.

I am able to sit up a little longer the last couple days so I am attempting to learn a bit more about my computer. Soooo. I learned how to upload some of my basement music. This was recorded in 2001 in my basement on a cheap Yamaha multi-track cassette recorder. Then it was downloaded to my computer to use some computer softwear to attempt to clean it up, (lose some fidelity), then it was converted to WAV format to record to CD, (lost more fidelity). Now it had to be converted to MP3 in order to upload to the internet, (lose more fidelity). So the final result is rather muddy but it's here so enjoy if you can.

I was assuming she meant JUST a hat and gloves, with ear-rings and maybe a bracelet. Typical man thing, guess I just don't understand accessorizing.

Okay, went to infectious disease specialist and he isn't going to continue IV antibiotics, they didn't seem to do anything but I might get a little better over the next couple weeks. Going to schedule an appointment with Pulmonologist and have another bronchoscopy just to try to get a pinpoint on what is causing this recurring inflammation in my lungs. Talking about mega doses of stearoids to try to knock the inflammation down, also going to start on Zanax and try to get a handle on the panic attacks I have when I can't breathe. Maybe if I can calm down some the panic won't cause the breathing to worsen. Terrible vicious cycle. Struggle for breath, panic, struggle more, panic more, it reminds of the times that I drowned when I was young. My older brother saved my life twice when I was drowning, kept lying to him and saying I knew how to swim, I didn't. Anyway have a great weekend all. Donny

Another trip to the ER, I think I just worry too much when I can't breathe. Spent 7 hours, still have a bit of infection going on, seeing infectious disease specialist tomorrow morning. They did A contrast CT scan and chest Ex-Rays, they are ugly but still not showing any sign of cancer so there is a bit of good news in it all. Also learned how to become overall more calm and have less stress. Dr Oz says we need to finish all the things we've started and haven't finished. Starting tomorrow morning I'm going to finish a bottle of Zinfandel, a half bottle of Tequila, A box of Oreos, and maybe a box of chocolates. That oughta help. Talk to ya all later. Donny
