IPF Oregon

Trying to get back into some type of rhythm after my last event. Healthier breakfast choices to reduce inflammation and get good proteins.

2 eggs over the healthiest homemade bread, with some blackberries and blueberries. Will wash down with some pineapple juice.

Thank you to for the BEST sourdough on the planet.

And as always...

Pushing myself a bit further each day. Just little things like standing in the kitchen chopping veggies for healthier meals, putting clothes in the laundry, getting up to sit at my PC to address paperwork requests, washing a dish,  etc etc......all the small things taken for granted. Pushing a little.

Remembering to slow the F down and rest too. Restructuring my mind for economy of movement and tasks. It can be frustrating on a minute to minute basis, but I am grateful that I have those moments. That I have this day.....another day. And I have the best family and friends who back me up - to say I am blessed would be a MAJOR understatement.

Oh, and yes. When I arrived home after being discharged I shaved my head and the beard. 😱 I need some sunshine badly. Oh so badly.

Back in the ED at St. Vincent. The excitement continues 😅.

This time the issue was derived from the cannula and o2 flowing through my nose. Dries out the cartilage, and taking any type of blood thinner, creates a dbl-whammy for bleeding........badly.

Monitoring my nose 👃 and should be back home tonight........ 🙏🙏🙏
