Henry Hates Fireworks

I'm glad the Fourth is over and so is Henry, well at least for now.  

Henry really hates fireworks.  

The thunder shirt didn't work so great this year.

I'm sure there will be more kaboom tonight into the weekend.  

I had to stay up with him until after midnight last night.  

He had to pee in the worst way but, every time I opened the door, fireworks went off.  

I am really hoping for his sake and mine, it is quiet tonight.  

I haven't been feeling very well lately....since Memorial Day.  

Been short of breath, achy, chilled and non stop headache.  

Last Thursday, my breathing got so bad, I took myself to the ED and was admitted.

Trying to figure out what is going on.  

My lungs had fluid in them but, my white blood count was normal.  

Was still put on an antibiotic and solid dose of steroids for the inflammation.

I tested positive for Rheumatoid factor so I will be seeing a Rheumatologist and I will need to see a Pulmonologist.  

I spent a couple of days in the hospital and have been home all week.  

I go back to see my doctor tomorrow and start get all the balls rolling.  

I had more blood work done earlier in the week and have a Pulmonary Function Test on Monday.  

Not talking about asthma.  

Just got to wait and go through all the tests....waiting is the worst part. 

In the meantime, trying to build up my endurance level

Finally, yesterday, I had some ambition to decorate for the Fourth.  

I love my Uncle Sam.  

Hung a few pictures too.  

I have been finishing my Summer Schoolhouse Lessons.

Expect to see them the next post.  

Well maybe, everything but the strawberry.  

I used the fabric for the leaves I had used on the backs of the pillows but, really hated the way it turned out.  

While I was up with Henry, I took it all apart and ordered some wool on line.

Now I have to wait for that to come but, I will post before then.  

Hope you had a good Fourth.  

Rest assured, I am feeling much better than a week ago!

Keep on Stitching
