So today was the orientation of my pulmonary rehab that I am starting next Tuesday! I got there at 9:30am and I didn't get home till 1:00pm.
Most of the meeting was me talking with the respiratory therapist about my medications, signing paperwork, getting blood pressure/baseline readings of oxygen, etc. and the second half was hooking me up with the heart monitor (all the patients have to wear the monitor while they work out) fitting me/finding out what my settings where on all the machines and then using all the machines for a couple minutes to see kind of where I am at THEN I had to do a six minute walk!
By the time I got home I was beat!! My little sister is here for few days (we are baking cookies tomorrow) so she made the two of us lunch and then while I was watching General Hospital at 3 I started to dose off a little bit because I was SO tired. I couldn't even keep my eyes open for my favorite soap!
I am sure once I get going with the program I am going to feel tired at first but I know in the long run the positives WAY out weigh anything else...I am just excited to get started and hopefully start feeling better and stronger! :)
Also, I can't remember if I told you already but I thought my abx were done today but the place that delivers my meds said my last dose wasn't till Wednesday evening so I still have a couple days....I can't wait until it is done, I am SO over getting up before it is light outside!! :D

General Hospital: Night Shift
So, anyone who knows me knows I LOVE me some General Hospital! But what some people don't know is that General Hospital now has a prime-time spin off show called General Hospital: Nightshift.
It has some of the same characters from the daytime show and some new characters and it mostly centers around the hospital at night and the different cases that come into the hospital and the drama between doctors and nurses, etc. whereas GH during the day isn't always at the hospital. Also, unlike the daytime show which airs everyday and never ends and doesn't have repeats. Nightshift is once a week on Tuesday nights and has 13 episode seasons that air on soapnet. The shows also match up with each other so sometimes they will refer to the other show and vice versa to have story lines coincide.
Anyway my point is (I promise I have one) I watch both shows but we don't have soapnet here so I can't watch it on Tuesday nights I have to wait until someone post the show on youtube and then I watch it. So this morning as I was doing my morning treatments/vest I watched the show from this week....and guess what one of the main storylines was about?? That's right CF! Let me tell you I thought it was a joke, I really would have thought they would have done a little more research than they did before airing a story like that. Oh well.
If anyone is interested in checking it out, here it is. They can't upload the whole show at once so you have to watch it in 6 different clips but that isn't to bad. If you watch it let me know what you think!
