Still fighting a Severe Nasal Congestion Kathy went to
bed last night using her own CPAP Mask.
She managed to get some sleep before having difficulty to breath while laying
down. We’ve both learned from past experience that if that happens we try
sitting up for a while. She covered herself in her recliner just until she
could breath better. She said her eyes just blinked and her watch jumped ahead
by nearly Three Hours before she
headed back to bed.
Kathy and I have a habit of
sharing things and that’s not always a good thing. When I got up before 8:00 this
morning I could barely breathe from the one nostril and I was getting a
scratchy throat. Getting everything ready for breakfast I still had time to get
some of my morning reading completed before Kathy got up. She said she had
slept fairly soundly but from past experience without the CPAP Machines to help us breathe through the entire night we are
still dragging for the rest of the day because our bodies were not properly
recharged.
It seems that we have been
reading Blog after Blog from other RVers catching the same Breathing Issue. In
the southwest states it is referred to as the Crud. I know very well how difficult
it is to breathe when you are congested having suffered with a Deviated Septum for over Thirty-Five Years and finally having it
surgically corrected Twenty-Five Years
ago.
After catching up on our
reading Kathy started putting together a wonderful Roast that she simply simmered in a pot on the stove. As soon as I’d
completed my inside chores I set about to complete the routing of our Propane Line for our Blue Flame Heater. It was commented
that I should have simply had the line run at RV Lifestyles. We had inquired
the cost alone was more then double the cost of the Heater and they would not have mounted it where we wanted. Having
done this type of work on a much larger scale I saw no need to do so besides other
things we have had done to our RVs in
the past I always had to redo.
When I looked outside I noticed
someone walking her two adorable pups towards our door. It was Nan Talley who
we followed for years on the blog Trippin With TheTalleys. We had net her briefly last year but had a chance to spend more
time visiting with John. As they were getting ready to go Fulltime years ago John
was stricken with a Severe Pulmonary
Infection that required nearly a year of hospitalization. This past weekend
Nan had to bring John to the Emergency in Phoenix with another Pulmonary Problem. The worst part is the Hospitals are all restricting
visitors at this time because of this Flu
(Crud) outbreak, so they can only
visit on the phone.
Lunch was Chicken Noodle Soup a Cheese Stick and a Fruit Cup.
Last week we ordered an Endoscope in hopes that we could see
the cavity between the floor and the Fresh
Water Tank. Kathy manned the Computer
while I tried feeding the Camera
from the top with nothing positive to report. Setting up a chair outside we
repeated the process from the bottom of the trailer. Jayco installed Framing and Insulation around the Fresh
Water Tank with only an inch of clearance Making it nearly impossible to
run the line.
The fact that my head was
pounding from the Sinus Infection I inherited
only made things impossible to run the Propane
Line. Kathy suggested I wait until I am feeling better. The roast she
cooked on the stove turned out perfect the only problem was that whenever
someone walked by on the road they would ask when was dinner time.
By the time we finished
eating I had to close up outside. back inside I had to lay down before writing the
Blog. Hopefully things will improve
for the both of us by tomorrow. Thanks for following along, feel free to leave a comment and click on

It’s about time.

You Might Be a Redneck If
You've used a Styrofoam cooler as a crib.
I sure hope Kathy and you get to feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteI guess there's one thing to be said about being single ... I don't pass the crud on to someone else. It's inevitable, living in the same small space. Hope you are both feeling on the mend real soon!!!
ReplyDeleteJust be careful that it isn't valley fever.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon. Bill and I are done sharing and kissing this cold goodbye!
ReplyDeleteWe hope you both feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope you both feel better soon! During our one winter in Phoenix, we found that we had to run a humidifier at night to keep us both from drying out while we slept. Tom also had a deviated septum years ago, and he seems to be affected the most.
ReplyDeleteHope you both are on the road to recovery. Jim and I shared and are now recovered.
ReplyDeleteSorry to read that now you both have the crud. Someone said they had it and bought musinex D (sp) and she is feeling so much better after just one day.
