Since my surgery was put on hold so I can go to the heart doctor. My appointment is on the 12th and if they get the report in quickly then my surgery can be moved forward. I will let everyone know as the day gets closer. But since I have to have another medical clearance I already got that schedule as well. That will be on the 18th of this month. I would not of got this far without my doctor's, my therapist, my surgeon, the people that works with my therapist, my husband, my 4 sons, and all my new friend on here. You all made it worth going through and keep me going. I am more ready for this surgery. Last night I was having chest pains but then I got to thinking why. I am sick and the coughing is hard so I probably strained something. But this will pass soon. But I just thought to give an update so everyone knows where I am at through my journey. Giving updates keep us all updated on each other. So the people we have touched knows how we are doing.
 
hoping the report will come out okay and you get the clearance to move forward... I also had a few hiccups with some health problems that had took me longer to get the surgery date.. but like you i am more then ready to move on with thi next chapter of a new life
 
I am good. My 12 yr old was sick and passed it to me. So now I am going through that. But it is almost gone. I hate coughing up flem. It makes me feel like I am choking but it is coming up so that is what matters right.
 
Yea I hate the phlem too but its good that you are coughing it up so it don't settle in your chest... Hope you both get to feeling better quickly
 
I am feeling a whole lot better today. I woke up with out cough up a lung at least. But I can breathe a whole lot better
 
Boy howdy, I hope I'm never within spitting distance of you when you cough up a lung girlfriend...

Yeah I try to keep from being around the boys so much when I get sick because it is bad. I don't get sick as much but when I do it is real bad. So I try to make sure I do not pass it to someone else in the house. But that is a mothers life. We all have to deal with sick kids and having a chance of catching every time.
 
Glad you are feeling better

Thanks I actually got something done today. Those other days I go from my room to the living room and I could not breathe with how bad I was. The heat made it worse. And when I felt like I could not breathe my Anxiety attacks started to flare up. That is why I hate being sick. My anxiety attacks get worse with pain and sickness. When I broke my arm they shot me up with the strongest pain meds they could and that only got it down to a tolerable pain. It hurt but not to a point that after I came out of an anxiety attack I was going into another one. So it is on all my paper work if I say I am in pain then the pain is hard enough for me to really feel it. Because tolerable pain I will not say nothing about. I will deal with it. My doctor is surprised at my tolerance to pain.
