Sore muscles!

Aug 09, 2011

Ouch!  I am definitely feeling yesterdays workout this morning.  We went to our exercise group at Mercy hospital last night and I tried a new machine out.  It was a recumbant elipitical machine.  Boy am I feeling it in the backs of my thighs.  Ouwie!! 

So I have been starting to wean off of my oxygen.  It has been going pretty good.  The first few days were hard and I just felt like I needed to wear the oxygen.  After I started to get used to not having it on it seemed more normal to not have it on.  I still have to wear it when I am active/exercising and when I am asleep.  So I don't use it when I am home relaxing, I just put it on when I am out and about.  I know in the beginning it was definitely a comfort thing.  I think that I had gotten so used to the oxygen that it was actually comforting and "normal" to have it on.  I know it took some getting used to not wearing it.  But I feel so much better now that I am starting to wean off of it.  I see the pulmonologist in September so it will be interesting to see if I can fully go off of it by then or what she has to say.

Tomorrow is my husbands sleeve surgery.  He was lucky and didn't have to do a pre-op liquid protein diet.  He is today on clear liquids so I know it will be rough for him.  I think he is getting a litlte nervous about surgery.
