Feeling Good

Hi Friends, Well the last few days I have been feeling good. Walking is easier and Gary said I am walking faster. I am still on 20/30 prednisone alternating days. We will stay that way for a while longer before we drop to 20 mg a day. If I can put together a week or more of all good days with the oxygination numbers good then we may try and reduce the prednisone.

Next Wednesday 8/27 I will have the right heart cath. to see if my Pulmonary Artery Pressure (PAH) has gone down with the new medication, Revatio. I will let you all know the results.

Enjoy the last week of summer. It is hot here today. Love to all, Michele

Getting stronger

Hi Everyone, I extended my walk last night by 120 feet and did very well. I do the walk in sections resting in between. Still on 20/30 (alternating days)prednisone and 6 liters of oxygen. Hoping soon I will be able to reduce both. My next PFT is scheduled for 8/20 with the pulmonlogist. Other than that every day is the same. What a beauitful August. Anabelle is growing so fast but is still a mischevious little kitten. She rules and keeps the "boys" (cats) under her control. She loves to give kisses and sometime wakes me up at night to give me a kiss.
Have a wonderful day, Hugs, Michele
