Sue- I may have posted this the other day incorrectly so reposting it in hopes this is done correctly.
VEST: I am not totally comfortable with the vest due to having the hiatal hernia and concerned of knowing if it affects other organs (heart) with all the vibrations. Giving me thought to it before I go back on since I am waiting for something more for it from Hill Rom. I can underststand the different thoughts about it.
GARDENING/CLOTHING: Oh, OK leave in area of garage or on the clothes line to air out and use another time or two. Thanks.
SHOES: I have tried on different times long before my diagnosis to do as you do. Must now for sure. Going to get a storage tub for them, maybe that might work at the door.
SIMPLEST/CHEAPEST NEBS: What is/are they that you are referring to.
THANK YOU. This communication with you is so looked forward to, I thank you.
DISINFECTING: I have the OMBRA with Aerobika and Aeroeclipse. NJH recommendation. Sometimes I think suggestions are possibly overkill with regard to how to care for the products.????? So boiling water doesn't melt the plastic.????? I hate having to use plastic. Do you put something between the bottom of the pan and the Aerobika as suggested so it doesn't touch the pan the water was boiled in??????? I boil tab water daily for ten minutes to clean it in liquid soap detergent. Glad to hear you use TabWater…in terms of the big picture and for disinfecting. I will be using the distilled water to rinse each time, I don't have soft water…one can see the calcium residue in the pan.
ASTHMA/BRONCHIECTASIS: Is it just asthma that you have or also bronchiectasis?
FIGURING IT OUT: Yes, I realize it takes time to figure out scheduling for ones health requirements, safety precautions and yet not overall and allow oneself to enjoy life also. I have constant clearing of the throat, mucus, and especially after eating….DO YOU???? This after eating is what is the hardest in terms of social life and meals out….alone or with friends. Any marvelous suggestions??????
ISOLATION: Do not want that and am doing my best to figure out all so that does not become my life. I learned about being a prisoner in your own home when I was involed with an elderly aunt who lived alone. I live alone. I promised myself not to allow that to happen to me.
CONTINUE DOING AND ABLE TO LET GO OF: Figuring that out now, also. I love to cook and eat, garden in the yard etc. etc. and dine out in 'good food' restaurants. Again, working on all that.
DAILY ROUTINE/VITAMINS: My life has been 90% of eating healthy and taking vitamins….that from childhood at home. I am taking D, zinc, C, Probiotic, Multi and other supplements. Going to also begin to take alfalfa. Are there specific vitamins that you suggest?????
i am walking (in the house) most all day long and specifically walking 15 minutes before the Nebulizer each morning as well as having water PH water before Nebulizer.
NAC: What brand, dosage etc. etc.????? I read about it months ago and wondered what to do. NJH did not suggest it. Do you take Muscinx liquid or tablet?????
THANK YOU: This communication with you is wonderful and I look forward to it. Thank you for the time you spend communicating.
