Miscellaneous update – Wednesday

This week is sure slipping by. Most mornings are taken up with reading my emails, reading the Gazette and catching up on my Facebook feed. Sometimes the Facebook takes one half hour and sometimes 2 hours depending on how long it's been. Monday I a doctor's appointment with the pulmonologist tech. Most of her tests word supposed to be done in a airtight chamber. There was no way it would work for me. Even if Tom could lift me in their I would not be able to stay upright and would fall forward. So she more or less said the exact same tests that I had done at the pulmonologist office. I find all the fuss of taking me somewhere wears me out mentally. I think the pulmonologist will prescribe me a breathing aid that I will use at night so that my diaphragm and breathing muscles get more rest than they do now. All I think is "yea one more thing to deal with".
Monday I felt pretty blah and did pretty much nothing in the afternoon until my appointment. I guess MS has taught me how to just sit here and daydream. I never fell asleep, which is good because then it won't affect my sleep at night. So Monday was kind of a weird day. I think I'm finding it more difficult to wake up fully and I'm groggy for a lot longer in the mornings and I used to be.
Tuesday was taken up by something I've been talking about doing for 5 years. Tom, Matt, my wife and myself went to a lawyer to draw up a will and power of attorney for them to sign for me. There is also a form that we can fill out at home detailing our medical wishes for my wife and myself. We were there for more than an hour and when Tom and I got home, my wife and Matt went to work, and I had Tom drive me out to the screen patio. I listened to music on my phone and ended up falling asleep even though I tried not to. I have already posted some of the details of that on Facebook the other day.
Macy has been having problems lately. She has been throwing up about once a week. It's not from hairballs. She used to have a hairball about twice a year but now I'm afraid her food is not agreeing with her. She is due for her yearly checkup pretty soon. I hope they figure something out. It's kind of a mess for my wife to clean up. She usually finds it before she goes to work. Yuck!
Hopefully I'll post something tomorrow that's a little more uplifting. I still feel sleepy and groggy. I have my big tough guard dog here to protect me from things like the FedEx man who came today. If Atlas was not here I'm pretty sure the FedEx man would've kidnapped me and sent me to Texas or some miserable place like that.
