awake bright and early today

Well here we are again on a very sunny Sunday morning. It is 7.30 and breathing is easier at this time of the day, so not looking forward to later as when the temperature rises so the breathing gets a lot more of a problem, it gets better as the temperature and humidity falls so early mornings and evenings are the best time for me at the moment, the reason for this is that the muscles that work the lungs are affected by this condition and are also weakened,however as the medication becomes stabilised, then exercises with a physiotherapist should build up the muscle strength.

Gervase came at 11-30 today and took me to Asda to do some shopping ( Thank You Gervase ) he is getting used to pushing me around in the wheel chair ( Payback time for the years I spent pushing him in a baby buggy in the early 80,s ) still amazes me how inconsiderate some people can be with there shopping trolleys, when confronted with a wheel chair user though.

One thing I did find out today is that I should not father Children for 3 months after I come of the Methotrexate, so sorry girls, you missed your chance.

Oh well 13-30 now, so time to get out the blenders and start to get lunch ready, pureed pasta and chicken with basil today I think, and then a nice relaxing afternoon of old movies on TV.

So a good positive day today, feeling hungry as appetite returns with a vengance, Breathing laboured at the moment but have the fan on so at least air is circulating. Seem to have an excess of Acid reflux today, hopefully something the doctors can look at and bring under some kind of control,( not really a pproblem to be but certainly does not help with the swallowing ) it is more uncomfortable than anything else.

Update 20.00 hours sunday 3rd July 2011
Well its now almost 20.00 hours here in the UK, the weather has cooled although the humidity is still very high, had a flare up of very red knuckles just after getting back from Asda today and on further investigation it seems that i should not go out into the direct sunlight as this can cause the imflamation of the muscles to increase therefore giving what is known as a muscle flare, Oh! well live an learn, will try and keep out of the sun between 11.00 and 16.00 hrs.
