Good morning everyone! The sun is brightly shining..and so am I! it's taken about two months at least since I've felt this way, tho.

I had a full, productive day yesterday, but the best part was my Dr.s visit.I went in there with a full list of complaints and read all of them off to him. He finally actually listened ( tho he didn't have much choice cuz i just ran my mouth till i was done).
I told him that I was sick of being so sick and all the meds he had me on were useless and I'm sicker now cuz now i'm spitting up gobs of phlegm along with sleepless nights cuz when I try to sleep in a flat position my chest feels heavy and i can't breath, so i have to go try to sleep in my recliner. And i told him that i wanted a heavy-duty antibiotic shot in my .... to kickstart my health because food doesn't appeal to me and I've lost at least 15 lbs. ( which they verified, but it's nineteen lbs.) and I'm weak and tired all the time....not to mention damn grumpy and anti-social!
I got my way:D
He also drew blood( two vials) and gave me three different meds and told me that he wanted me to see the cardiologist again for one of those tests where the put a needle ( catheter?) in my inner thigh and draw blood, which this "specialist" didn't do the first time i saw him.

I do believe that shot did it's job cause I'm feeling more chipper all ready! Yay!!!!:banana:

And i finished off the day by having a steak dinner...but could only eat the salad and had to have the rest boxed. But that's all right...I'll have it for dinner tonight!

Now I'm off n running.. got a couple of things to do before I return the rental.

Y'll have a good day!

That's what I've had to resort to lately.... but don't know if it's vape-related or not.... I have COPD and bronchitis too..

BUT...I'm gonna keep on vaping...I have very few pleasures left:D

I would try it's about the only thing I have left but I'm going thru kleenex at about a box every 2 days. I love vaping plus I have all this equipment. Guess I'll have to start a store. I think I can get away with a little vaping of the Adore Custard but it seems that I have to do MTL and the only attys I have that do it well are my 2 Kabukis. Should have gotten the Prime but didn't might order a couple from FT and hope for the best. I don't think they have started shipping them yet, have to ask Mike. I could take a chance on the SXK clone. But even MTL bothers me some. Like I said it sucks. I found a juice that bothers be less, I could try it without nic but I don't think that is what is bothering me, I'm only doing 3mg.

You sound great! Icm happy you are feeling better! I seem to feel better & have more energy/stamina when my bp is low. I lose all that when it goes high & I start feeling tired & sluggish. It's the opposite for my Mom, that's why it's hard to keep her on track with her meds. We signed a new apt lease this month & get presents. A carpet shampoo & a new black refrigerator. I hate black appliances. They show every drop & splatter, & you can't just wipe them off & walk away. You have to dry them so that dampness doesn't dry & look like smears. I'm not fooled, they are remodeling & "upgrading" wheather we want them to or not. I've managed to avoid track lighting in the kitchen so far. I don't like it when they come in & putter. That's just me being grumpy about arranging my day to accommodate date them tho.

Well I think I am pretty lucky, this treatment it registered with the VA Choice program so I am pretty sure they will ok it. Not sure that Medicare would. I imagine it costs an arm and a leg which I don't have to give. Sounds like they have pretty good results and it also seems as this is my only fairly safe option. He said I can't take a chance on it not being cancer. Since it is growing unlike the others there is a good chance it is. Don't know how all this radiation will affect me but it beats the options.

Maybe you don't have to quit. Just take a break & give your lungs a chance to get over this stuff. If you have copd you have a build up of fluid on your lungs, so you'll cough anyway. But give your body a break.

Even though it looked like the weather today is the same as yesterday, closer examination revealed that it's actually raining today. You can't really tell from this picture I took about an hour ago, but there's fairly chilly precip that's acomin' down.

I figured the proper response was a spinach wrap with pastrami and melted mozzarella. The tomato was added post-heat.
IMG_0856.JPG


The wrap was very substantial, delicious and filling, but I was hungrier than I thought. So, I made a big hamburger (nearly hidden by the maters), topped with ground cloves, dried mint and ground adobe chili powder, on a big toasted ciabatta roll. The top of the roll has a thick and potent sauce I made by adding mustard and horseradish to ketchup.

I haven't decided what to have for dessert.

have you tried not even inhaling, just in-the-mouth style sometimes? My personal thoughts are that a lot of the vaping is the hand-to-mouth thing just like we did when smoking. I do it that way a lot.

We're opposites...my bp is low and I've been pretty run-down for quite awhile... different strokes for different folks! I know what you mean by black appliances...they don't suit a this lazy oldbroad:D
But my stove is only black on the backtop and the oven door!

Have you tried mixing to a lower VG %? For me, VG at 50% or above generates a lot of phlegm.

I can live with the black since the new fridge is bigger than then old one. Yay! It's about 2" taller & about 4" deeper which is a lot more room.

I can go to about 60% vg. Higher & I get yuk mouth & the congested feeling chest. More than 40% pg gives me tummy troubles. Neither are pleasant.

All of which sounds faaabulous!

Day-um Dave, just do a 'rinse/repeat'!

Since culinary arts has been mentioned, just received an Amazon order of Cherry and Apple wood smoked salt, 5 oz. each.
Can hardly wait 'til I can evaluate 'em fer y'all...

OBTW Dave, no vinegar and/or cabbage?

ETA: Sum caramelized onions probably would have sated dat dessert desire...

    I did a bit better- went out n bought my first bigscreen tv yesterday afternoon. Died this morning. Traded it even up @ BB for a much better model with webOS. Beats Roku on the broken one.

    Time to figure out how to cut the cable w/o much fuss. All devices in the house will Cast the screen to it- sweet.
