did you know?

there is a little drop down menu on our entry-title box? i did not. until a moment ago.
i am not in love with my keyboard on this laptop keith gave me for my birthday. i don’t fret over it though because it’s from my gift-horse and i don’t look. in his mouth.
it’s very hard to use your phone for ebay feedback entry. i don’t recommend it if you are not giving it your complete attention. terrible things happen if you don’t. in this last week i left a seller 10 feedback items on my phone. the screen is a little different. i managed to leave her poor detail feedback on every one that i did. i realized it and stopped. fired off an email to the seller and started researching what i could do to change it. it took the whole damned week and a pretty good hour of being frustrated as hell with shawn, the customer service guy to start getting towards a goal of getting it fixed. both the seller and myself had to poke the ebay-beast with our steely knives…… but,….. you know the rest of that line. in the end of it, maybe because we just did not quit, ebay agreed to cancel all my feedback. all ten items. so the seller still wants me around. i did not know it, but you can block a buyer from buying from you if you are a seller. nobody threatened me, i just read it in all the crap i was reading about how ebay works.
i got some results back from my pulmonary doc. my lung is not absorbing 02 like it’s supposed to. well. no. shit. it’s disease related to the emphysema. the little aveoli sacs are not compressing the co2 out either. so i just suck. and that is all. heh
i get a new oxygen set-up today. last week i did a 6 minute walk for my doc. during the walk i was feeling like crap, laboring with my breathing, feeling like my legs weighed hundreds of pounds, needing to pee, and wanting to cry a little….. and then. i took a breath and i felt some relief. and another breath made me make a noise in my throat because it was a good feeling and that don’t happen much when i walk around. i spoke and said i think i just caught my breath. i don’t talk when i walk either. i keel over if i do.
so at the end of the test, she told me that she had kicked me up to a flow of 6 liters while i was getting my groove on. it made my head pulse. and i felt a little spacey. my blood pressure was up just a little but that could have just been the walking.
the next day, i could not move. i woke up and had a tremendous headache and i was very dizzy. sick to my stomache. short of breath. had to pee. let the dog out. sat at the kitchen desk, feeling as miserable as i could. took myself back to my bed and fell right back to sleep. did this a couple of more times. feeling worse as the day got on….. about 3pm, i got up did the stuff i’d been doing all day with the peeing and the dog. i was on my way back to my room and had to sit down at my work table to rest. while i was sitting there i looked down at the floor. right next to my desk is a pillow. tis blanca’s pillow. she lays there when i work. there is another one right under my kitchen desk. i noticed green bits of something that looked very much like my oxygen tubing scattered around the pillow.
blanca had chewed a good 2 foot section of hose up. i had been going all day long with no o2. it’s not a good way to run a bait camp. i have to find a way to get her to understand she cannot chew on anything except for what I give her to chew.
my doctor called me at home to tell me he wants me to kick the o2 up to 4 during the day when i am not engaged in physical activity. and to kick it on up to 6 when i am walking somewhere like in the grocery store or out walking. and to bring it back down to four when i finish. and to sleep with 5 liters of o2 at night. since the machines i have only go up to 5 liters, i get the new stuff…. no new meds. except we might go on up another 20 mg on the lasix. so i can pee round the clock….
i managed to finish a couple of pieces of jewelry too. i have to get photos of them for putting in the shop, so i will show them to you this weekend sometime.

Can you wipe down your hose with a solution of hot sauce and water? Or maybe that stuff you can paint on fingernails when you are trying to quit biting them? Be well!

I’m wracking my brain trying to figure out what would stop Blanca from chewing the tube. Say NO loudly everytime she gets near it? Must be consistent on that.

i am looking forward to seeing your new jewelry. and damn. put that dog on a leash! (((hugs)))

Runt

Thank goodness he got that figured out. Aawww puppy chewing stage. I have to take stuff animals away from Cj and Rocki cause they fight over it. Cant wait to see pictures.

Good luck getting devil pup to not chew on your tubing! Hugs.

I don’t want you done under by Blanca’s puppy chewing habits! Now that you know she’s doing it, you’ll just have to keep an eye on her as much as possible and put her in a crate with a chewie when it isn’t possible to keep an eye on her. I’m so sorry you are not doing well. You get an awful lot done for someone in your condition. You are a genius with your beads. I love, love, love all the things I’ve purchased from your Etsy store. I saw the necklace Sherry bought. Beeeeee-euuu-teee-full.

I am having a little bit of a chewing problem with Gretchen also. If I forget to give her a chew toy and leave her alone at home, she will chew on my pillows. I like the hot sauce idea for your hose!

It sounds very tough having emphysema. I’m glad you can still find a way to enjoy life through your amazing jewellery, though.

Hi, I’m a friend of Linda and Sherry, among others here. I looked at your jewelry and really like the flat spiral stitch bracelet in grey. I do not have a Paypal account nor a face book account and have no intention of creating either. If you hold that item for me and private note me your address I will sent you a check for $18.00 USD and you can send the bracelet to me in Florida. The additional$2.50 is for your trouble. Let me know what you think about this. I am sure either Linda or Sherry will vouch for me. Be well.

Best of luck keeping Blanca from chewing your tubes. I hope the new o2 levels will help you. ~ Hugs ~
