Breathing Better Living Well: August 2008
http://breathingbetterlivingwell.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 29, 2008. When I get discouraged, I have to remember how far I've come from a year ago. I am able to do just about everything for myself now and rely only a little on outside help. For me, this return to independence has been very uplifting, and I have learned so much over the course of this past year. I know I will continue to have challenges and disappointments on my journey to recovery, but I will also lean on the people around me and learn many more life lessons along the way. The Brea...

Breathing Better Living Well: April 2007
http://breathingbetterlivingwell.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 19, 2007. Week 14 - Thursday. My little friend Audrey went to Boston this week for a follow up visit post double lung transplant. A couple of weeks ago her fev1 was 40%; this time it is 78%! Last weekend she went sliding in the snow, something she hasn't done in a couple of years. Her 13th birthday is next Sunday. What a great birthday present - the ability to breathe again. I am so proud to be one of her supporters! See you next week! Breathing Better Living Well. Monday, April 16, 2007.

Breathing Better Living Well: April 2009
http://breathingbetterlivingwell.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2009. I am finally springing out from winter. My time had finally come to return to Pulmonary Rehab yesterday. I had had a couple of false starts, but this week it was all systems go! Walking into the rehab room was like going home, I know it so well. From Rose, who runs the program, to the members who having been going for years - I felt very welcomed back into the fold. Rose always sets us up with water, and then it was time to work.

Breathing Better Living Well: Motivation
http://breathingbetterlivingwell.blogspot.com/2009/07/motivation.html
Thursday, July 09, 2009. One of the hardest parts of rehab is staying motivated. I have been having trouble over the past month because I haven't been feeling so great. I had an infection and was on antibiotics and prednisone and just started another course of steroids with a slower taper. The doctor thinks that this time I might need to stay on a maintenance dose but I am hoping not to. I know that life can be good, and I want it back!

Breathing Better Living Well: December 2009
http://breathingbetterlivingwell.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 13, 2009. Besides being part of a Pulmonary Rehab program, I have now been receiving Massage Therapy. Wow! Massage and this particular Massage Therapist were recommended to me by a lady in my PR program who was using massage for pain issues. She said she felt so much better and could breathe better, and it really showed. So, skeptical me, I made an appointment with Terri. I mean, I would rather buy a pair of shoes.or a something for my grandson .than. The money on myself! I gave in to th...

Breathing Better Living Well: February 2007

Sunday, February 25, 2007. Week Six a Bust. Unfortunately, week six didn't happen for me at pulmonary rehab. I came down with a chest infection. As soon as I started coughing up funky stuff, I started antibiotics so within a couple of days I was feeling much better. Additionally I took a nasty spill on the ice on Tuesday. Ouch! It hurt my pride, of course, more than my body, but I was quite sore for several days. I'm getting back to normal (well, what passes for normal! Breathing Better Living Well.

Tuesday, January 30, 2007. Today was a really good day at pulmonary rehab maintenance. I was able to walk quite a distance to the rehab room and was only a little short of breath when I got there. This shows me how much the exercise is helping and motivates me to keep trying. I walked for 12 minutes on the treadmill at 1 MPH and by the end of this week I will increase to 15 minutes. When I am comfortable at 15 minutes, I will increase the speed. Breathing Better Living Well. Thursday, January 25, 2007.
