disappointed

susandennisSo the medicine my doctor prescribed says, right on the bottle, "This drug may change the color of your urnine." I was initially annoyed that I was not offered my choice of colors. Now I'm just disappointed that I got no color change at all. Nothing. I wonder if I can get my money back from Costco. Will they need a sample? Hmmmmm
But, mainly I'm disappointed in my lungs. They are not happy about yesterday's swim. I knew it last night. I got up to pee (the same color as always) and was out of breath after the 10 steps from the bed. This morning I feel very COPDish. It's not horrible but it's a clear indication that I will not be swimming on Saturday. I think I'm going to assume that there just needs to be longer recovery times between swims. I'll try again next Wednesday. I could live with once a week. Better than nuthin.
I sent Robby out again this morning just because I could. It was working in the sewing room when I got a message...
I walked back there to rescue him and the voice was saying "Mayday! Mayday!" It cracked me up.I got him free and blocked that bit with a virtual wall and he was fine. Although, in retrospect, I think I should have gotten a "Thank you."
I put regular kibble into Biggie's new food puzzle this morning and he dug in and got some of it out but then, clearly, not into no treats, abandoned the project. He has standards. I'm impressed.
My nephew and his wife (Iowa) wanted to come visit in September. I love that they want to come but I was a little wary. Originally, he said July and I said no. In July, all there will be to do besides walking outside will be eating in my kitchen and staring at each other. What little there is open to do takes reservations and planning and may be shut down before you even get there. I thought September was a bit ambitious but way better than July. Finally, last night, he asked if maybe September was too risky and I said yes, I really thought it was. Whew. He said they were shooting for 2022 and maybe twice. They have a cruise which leaves from here in September but maybe they would come in the spring as well.
I remember my Mom saying one time how every flattering it was to have young people who wanted to hang out with you. Yet another thing my Mom was right about.
I've got nothing on the calendar for today. My lungs will be happier, I think, with a day of Crochet On The Couch. Maybe there will be a load of laundry done.
Biggie just celebrated Robby's return to his charging base.

Clearly that was the chlorine. and reading some studies about it I'm shocked at what a high percentage of regular swimmers have problems with it. I know it's cheaper than other methods of disinfecting pools, but nevertheless I'm starting to wonder why on earth we all accept its use given how many problems it causes.

Date: 2021-02-24 08:49 pm (UTC)Glad to hear you worked it out with M&C. They have all the time and the money and the no kids and nowhere to go. But good call on the delay.

And you indeed ought to have got a "Thank you" in return! ;^>

Date: 2021-02-24 09:17 pm (UTC)I wonder why your lungs don't like this pool but your old one was fine. Different type of chemicals? You are very calm about the COPD feeling, but I know you've dealt with it for a long time so probably that helps. When I was having a major thyroid issue it caused some palpitations and the feeling of shortness of breath, and it was hard not to panic about that.

It's nice your nephew wants to visit. Hopefully by next year being able to do thing won't be quite so difficult
