Not much to report this week, but I'm keeping with the goal of posting my progress, or lack thereof, in the HFTH.
When I weighed in this morning, there wasn't any change. At least I didn't gain, but more loss would have been nice. I shouldn't be surprised since I never did any treadmill or Total Gym this week. Each day I couldn't do it first thing and would plan on after school, then something else would come up. Sound familiar to anyone?

My right side of my chest has terrible pain today. Not sure what it is. Coughing is just extremely painful, but I'm wheezing more and that makes me cough. My Combivent ran out, which doesn't help at all! I had to pay $322 for my Advair the other day because COBRA hadn't kicked in, and now my other inhaler is out. Wonder what that will cost, or if COBRA will be entered into the system by then.
I also have my "family rash." My dad, sister and I get this weird rash each time we are getting sick. We know we're in for it if we get the family rash. It's at the "hot points" like behind my neck to the front (like a necklace), armpits, below my breasts, leg joints, sometimes more places. Between my rash and my chest my mom is worrying about pneumonia, but those are my only symptoms so far.
Ugh! Oh no!
ReplyDeleteYes, I had one of those weeks too. I will probably be your break-even sister. But hey, that's better than gaining!!
Hope you don't get too sick! :(
Oh man! I hope your chest feels better and the rash goes away, Debbi! I'm worried about you without your meds too.
ReplyDeleteMany hugs and prayers to you tonight.

There's nothing worse than having the stress of insurance issues heaped onto the rest of life's struggles. I'm so sorry you have to go through this.
ReplyDeleteSending hugs your way tonight!
praying for your healing - i get spots when I'm about to have an MS explosion - similar to your rash - a derm friend of mine told me once that it is the body's initial reaction to an "invasion" of infection.. like you, when I get the spots, all hell is about to break loose. praying for you! feeling your pain on the medication front - it's always a struggle for me to be able to afford mine at all and I do completely unhealthy things to stretch them out
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for you to feel better soon. I hope you will focus on that, and don't worry about the weight loss...easier said than done!
ReplyDeleteYou will be in my thoughts and prayers this week!
Hang in there, sister! I know it's tough to exercise when you aren't feeling great. Praying for you and the situation with your meds...
