susandennisI woke up at 4. Got up to pee. Then spent a half hour trying to get my breath back and another half hour trying to get back to sleep. Then I gave up. Happily, it really doesn't matter. There is nothing I have to do at any particular time today so I can sleep if I get sleepy or not if I don't. I've got four days of that so hopefully, by Monday, everything will be so much better it won't matter.
I have been wondering what if this thing turns out to be chronic. As in the way it will be forever. I've been researching asthma and copd and trying to see what is possible if it turns out to be something like one of these. Can I still swim? (Apparently, so.) Can I still work? (Yep.) Actually, outside of the discomfort and possibly limited mobility, it looks like the major change will be lots of drugs and doctor visits. Maybe. If I don't get better. But, maybe I will.
Right now, I'm looking forward to today. Current plans are to go to 13 Coins for a glorious bloody mary and a wonderful brunch. Then on to the movies with George Clooney. The movie is playing downtown but I don't think I have enough breath to walk to the bus and back so I'm going to take the adorable car to a neighborhood theater which is cheaper (by 50 cents) anyway.
I have a bunch o' web pages to build for work over the next four days. It's a perfect long weekend project. Just enough thinking required without too much - nothing needed from anyone else and a nice productive feeling when I get to the end. And my paycheck will be oh so happy.
So I have a lot to be thankful for - every day but also today.
