Hi Sue
Just letting you know that my trend this week has been good. I'm up moving more, and doing more. I still have spells of dyspnea but I've found they SEEM to come on with anxiety. Or is it a coincidence? Mucus is less...still a bit in the morning but not as much as "usual". I havent been out since arriving home Oct. 2. We had wildfire smoke hanging in the air which made our air quality the worst on earth. A direct quote from the news! Now we are having sub freezing temperatures and I dont know if its wise to take my lungs out in it. That's one thing I never asked my doctor. I'm leery of going out anyway considering the last 2 times I collapsed it was without warning and due to the sepsis, time was of the essence. I'm fortunate to live 5 mins away from hospital. I have definite trauma from the events of this summer! 🥺

Thank you for checking in! I am glad you are doing a bit better.
As for air quality - I completely understand. We are sitting with our AC & filters running because smoke from a Mexican dump fire keeps drifting in. But, I do try to get out for short walks, and this weekend will be great for us, as the wind is switching to the North and will blow the smoke away.
My grandson and I find we do well in the cold by wearing our facemasks to warm the air. I carry several fabric ones in my pockets for each of us, to switch out when they get damp from our breath.
Maybe you can someone to take a short (masked) walk with you? Outdoors is so good for us psychologically!
Keep on moving - I look forward to hearing more progress.
Sue
