My tracker and I agree...

My swim this morning was not terrible because an hour in the water is a better hour than any other BUT it was not a good swim. I did a couple of 200 yard swims but mostly did 50's and 100's with stops in between to catch my breath.

Then I went to the grocery store - slowly - and handled that without issue. However, getting everything from the car to my condo was a big issue.

It's all so depressing. Last night I woke up and could hear the Amazon party breaking up. It is maybe 40 feet from my bed to the sliding glass doors and I actually did lie in bed and debate whether or not it was worth the panting/gasping it would take to get from bed to the door and back. (My breathing is way way way worse when I get up in the morning or the middle of the night. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to be able to move without gasping but then it's ok.)

I gave up on walking to the ballpark next Wednesday. ljtourist is coming as my +1. So, if he agrees, I'm going to pick him up and drive us the ballpark and let him drop me off at the door and then park the car. Then I can take him home after. I'm assuming a lot but I think he'll go for it.

Last night I thought about a motorized Razor ... my balance sucks but otherwise, I'd be tempted to try one. If this does not get better by March 30 - my first game of the season, I'm not sure what I'll do. Maybe there's a magical tiny, foldable, electric scooter I could get. I wish there was a magical, tiny, foldable, electric scooter store.

But enough of that. Time to get on with my day. I need to put away the groceries and put on another shirt. It is chilly in here. And then maybe a little doll making.

Do you have a humidifier in your house? If you don't it might help with your breathing.

Could breathing chlorine affect the healing of your lungs?

Ugh.

On a possible fun shopping note: Segway?

[susandennis]

Seriously, that's exactly what I need. Exactly! But... I tried one once and turns out I don't have the balance for it. Sigh. But, I like your thinking!!

Google travel scooter and yoga scooter.

Do you have any illnesses?

Hopefully Dr. Lung was right, and this will get better, but it is probably a good idea that you're making alternate plans for the Mariner's thing.

A scooter sounds like a brilliant idea. Medicare may cover one if your regular insurance doesn't.
