healthy lungs
Yep. That's right. First test down. I have healthy lungs and do not have asthma. I already knew that, but had to inhale and exhale through a tube for an hour and then have a technician tell me that I am normal. (on the charts anyway) One more test that doesn't tell the doc why I can't speak and why I am exhausted walking up one flight of stairs. Boy this is fun! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Failed!
Had to take a treadmill test on Wednesday. Failed miserable. Didn't fall on my face which is always a good thing. Dr. now is sending me to a Neurologist for the fatigue and a Ear, Nose, Throat Doc for the vocal problem. Then 3 huge tests of some kind. The tests are next week, the dr.'s appt. aren't for 3 weeks. Hurry up and wait. I hate this world.
Nothing to do.......Guess I'll go sew. Would like to make a quilt for our bed. Just haven't found any material that say's "Yep, that's the one".

Duck Creek
The first of two days at Duck Creek, Utah was pretty much a failure. We went up on Thursday night and set up the tent. That went okey, but when we were done it was 8:45 and the little town closed up at 6p! We couldn't believe it. Even the gas station was closed and you could still get gas using a credit card but that was it. We finally were pointed to a Resort up the road and got a great meal. We went to camp at Sister Pettie's and...let's just say Rich doesn't camp any more. We couldn't get comfortable and we even had a comedy of errors routine going on when we tried to get out of the back seats and the child locks on the back doors wouldn't disengage and we had all our boxes loaded in the front seats. Rich finally got the key in the ignition and I rolled a window down and stuck my hand out and opened the door from the outside. We drove home, slept in our own bed and then awoke at 7:30am and drove back up the mountain, set up the Nek Koolers and sold 7 all day. Going home we got a flat. A guy stopped and helped Rich change the tire. Absolutely no cell service of any kind in the canyon and up on the mountain. The guy wouldn't take a $20. so Rich shoved $5.00 in his hand when they shook goodbye. And then he followed us all the way down to make sure we were okey. We went back on Saturday morning and it was a good day. We sold 72 nek koolers. The drive to Duck Creek is only 30 miles, but it is straight up. But sleeping in your own bed.....priceless.
I ended up getting a substitute for Sunday's lesson. My voice is still cutting in and out and standing for more than 5 minutes, let alone doing anything during that 5 minutes is a huge chore.
Hershey the cat got out saturday night when we came back into town. Never saw her all of Sunday. At 1am this morning I heard her outside. Went downstairs, let her in and turned around and went back up the stairs and half way up my strength just left. I crawled to the top and started to feel the effects of shock. Big drops of sweat, shortness of breath, weakness and nausia. I laid on the floor for about 10 minutes 'till I could get up and fall back into bed. That can't be normal. I'm so tired of this. One person put it this way: At least you don't have pain.......... Well yeah, but this fatigue is an ADDITION to Alvin and Quincey......Duhhhhhhh,

Yucky Day
The weather is overcast, muggy and just plain gloomy. I woke up feeling the same way. This fatigue crap is for the birds. I crawl up and down the steps completely out of breath. Rich thinks I'm mad at him cuz I don't feel like talking. It just takes too much strength.

He's Alive!
Just talked to Jofes. He was in the grocery store and wanted info on tacos. Anytime sonny boy.
Man it is hot today! No air-conditioning in either the car or the house. I'm Melting, what a world.
This is going to be a busy week. Dwight on Monday, Tuesday is FHC, Wednesday is probably going to be filled with sewing, Thursday..... yuck.....Dwight, Shakespeare, FHC and that only takes me to 9pm. Then we get in the car and drive to Duck Creek, Utah about 30 miles straight up the canyon (about 1 hour) We will be there 'till Saturday night. It's Duck Creek Days! Another chance to sell Nek koolers. Then Sunday is my Relief Society lesson. I better start tonight or else I'll be gluing word strips at 10:45am as I'm going out the door for church at 11am. ....again.
I have a friend in the ward that has a cabin up at Duck Creek. We're not going to be able to stay in the cabin, but we can park next to it and then sleep in the car. fun??????

Cuz 2 weeks ago, they had a pipe burst and it flooded the kitchen living room and bathroom and all the floors have been torn up 'till they can put in new tile and carpet. They are not being anti social. Plus knowing this, all I asked for was a place to park the car.

#@#SEPERATOR#@# My Blog
I have decided since no one comes to read this, that I will treat it just like my journals. I figure eventually someone will read it, but until then I am just gonna have to tell it like it is. I'm not going to worry if all it talks about is my aches and pains. 'Cuz let's face it ...that's who I am at times. If someone actually does come and read this occasionally they probably won't notice much of a difference, but my attitude towards this media has changed. No one cares about this miniscule piece of cyber-space but me and so I will use it how I need it at the time. I'm rambling. And most of the time I need a place to do that too.

I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our world, and I am fairly confident when I say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further innovates, the possibility of transferring our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could see in my lifetime.

#@#SEPERATOR#@# Free Day!
Actually "Free Day" means housework and sewing, but at least I don't have FHC, Shakespeare, Dwight, Lesson planning.......
Terri, the nurse, called. Blood work and x-ray are fine. Wants to schedule another test. When all is said and done, they won't be able to find anything causing the fatigue and so they will chalk it up to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and call it good. Sh_t.
I have truly thought about donating my body to science. That way they can see what bad eyes, bad teeth and bad posture look like. They can also poke around in my abdomen, kidneys, and female parts and maybe my brain and figure out why I was so messed up physically. Emotionally.....well I KNOW how I did that!

Ehhhhh?
Not much to blog about. The July Jamboree went all right, but it wasn't spectacular. The weather was overcast and so the only ones that bought nek koolers were those that saw the long term bennefits. ie, roofers, firefighters, outdoorsey people. The heat brings out the impulse buyer. So we only sold 25. Oh well. That means I won't have to do too much sewing to keep my inventory up.
Went to church on Sunday, threw my keys in my purse, grabbed my scripture bag, threw down the purse on the floor boards, locked the car and..................BRAIN FART. Luckily a friend took me home after church to get my spare key and then took me back to the church so I could take my car home.
Dr.'s appointment today. Took blood tests and a chest X-ray, won't know anything until the nurse calls, maybe Friday.
My Dad called today. He thinks we have lost Uncle Leo. He called him and the number is disconnected with no forwarding number. He doesn't think my cousin's would have thunk to call him. Guess time will tell.

Just a thought
I guess it won't be until we pass through the vail of this life to the next that we will truly understand illness and sickness. But in the meantime ....IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
In the last month I have been getting more and more tired. Just walking to the mailbox makes me breath hard. I'm going to the Doctor on Monday afternoon.
Today I worked at the Shakespeare Festival and was supposed to stay late, but my supervisor noticed I wasn't doing well and took me aside and told me I could tell her when I'm having bad days like today and she would move people around and put me where ever I needed to be to be comfortable. And if that meant not staying late than she would take care of it. It turned out that someone who was not scheduled to stay late wanted to see the show (HMS Pinafore). I've only seen one show so far this season and it was HMS Pinafore. Very funny play but when you don't feel well, seeing it a second time was not on my "Just Got to Do it Today" list.
I came home, took a nap and was much better. I finished all my sewing that I wanted to do before the craft faire tomorrow night. It's from 5p-11p. It's in conjunction with a car show. They are closing off Main street and having a big Street Faire. Hope to sell lots of Nek Koolers.
