I posted photos of what is mostly 'my world' as of this week.

This follows two visits one week apart to the Emergency Room for respiratory issues. They get me 'stabilized' and then send me home...
There is really not much that can be done for me at the ER.  They check my 'vital signs', but nothing that really solves the issues at hand.  Lack of oxygen is NOT something they can do much to treat as my level is still usually above 90....it is the muscles that I breath with that is the problem.

I will admit, that when I get this problem ...I panic and that IS BAD FOR ME!!!  I try not to panic..but it is pretty hard not to...when I cannot get in the air...and, I feel like I am suffocating or drowning.
I am working on trying to control the situation....
My doctor gave me a nebulizer (electric) to administer albuterol like the hookah pipe deal  at the ER...hoping  that will help.  I already use a 'puff' inhaler when needed...
The first trip to the ER this year (I was there in 2012 Nov for pneumonia too)...was during a period of time when I was having tremendous coughing issues...
The coughing is gone,,,,,,for the time being.....but, it certainly took its toll.

WE DID TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER yesterday.
We thought it a good idea to make SURE it is working.
So far, it works well and is helping :)
 ALSO,  with the progression, this week,  my husband and son rearranged the bedroom so that the reclining rocker from the great room is now in the bedroom...so that I can be where my dear husband is more frequently during the night time.  I move back and forth between the bed (raised 6.5 inches at the head) and the chair so I can use the BiPap that is easier for me to use from the more upright chair position.

And YES,  we do let two of our Labs sleep in our bedroom.
THEY are a BIG part of helping me to control my panic and they are the greatest companion therapy that anyone could EVER ask for!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I love them SO much :)
