This has been the toughest summer for me and the worst part is that it is not over yet. The main issue is my breathing, as days go by I am finding that it is getting hard for me to catch my breath. There have been really scary moments when I couldn’t catch my breath for few seconds and would get desperate just to get some air in. it is not possible for me to put what I felt during those moments in words. It takes about more than an hour to stabilize after such an incident. After I am feeling okay its my mother’s turn to get some air as she is completely drained of energy while helping me out. Even my five year old knows what to do when it happens, she just picks up the phone and dials for help. These episodes have taught us to be extra careful and to keep an watchful eye on my breathing.
Even though my speech is still okay but decline in breathing capacity is making it hard for me to speak. At times this makes conversing harder and tiring. The only time I am able to speak without any problems is when I am laying down in bed. The other annoyance I am facing is chest congestion, I have tried many things to get rid of it but it just doesn’t go away easily. It is really worse in the mornings and evenings. I hate having it in the evenings because I am unable to do anything as I deal with it. And finally I have lost a lot of weight because I am unable to eat much. But still I try to eat as much as I can.
And finally I have finished my book and sent it for printing. I will post a picture of it after I get it in a week or so.
