THE ORCHESTRA!!

Well, what an eventful night we had last night. Heather, Mindy and I went to the Orchestra in Lexington KY. It was truly wonderful.  O, and I forgot to mention that my oximeter, my suction machine, and ventilator as well as it's large battery came with me. Those Sprint Packs do so well at holding the charge, and even on high vent settings it lasted me throughout the trip. I just loooooooved the orchestra. It was indescribably beautiful!! One of the first questions that I asked Heather when we got into the room where there must have been 500+ people was, "Do you see a  Harpsichord?" There was none to be seen there, but anyhow, once we sat down, I got so comfortable, and UH OH, I forgot to breathe. I felt kind of strange, so I grabbed the oximeter, and put it on me, and I was in the midst of a BIG desat. Our normal oxygen saturation is between around 95% to 100% and well mine was in the 40s. My O2 sats TANK, and when I mean TANK, they do it within like five seconds if I forget to breathe. I reminded myself to breathe, and took as deep of breaths as I could, and It thankfully came back up, but I had to be very very conscious of my breathing, but other than that one desat the concert went very smoothly! I LOVED IT!!

Once it was over, we left, and went to drop Mindy off, and then Heather took me Home. I was sitting in the back with my vent on me and I had my Iphone with me, so I was playing with the harpsichord simulator that has thousands of Pieces by Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. I  had myself a great time back there, and of course I was not too much noise for Heather and Mindy because I had my trach's cuff inflated so that I could not speak and could be relaxed on the ventilator  and  the time  just flew by, as if there is one thing I know how to do, and to do well is entertain myself on long trips. Long trips are not hard on me, as I'm use to them, considering I go on them all the time for Sr's. appointments! It's natural to me.

We got home around midnight and I got  my G-Tube feeding ready after getting my travel/backup ventilator plugged in, and my room's ICu vent transferred from the computer back to the bedside, and then once I was done getting ready for bed, I put the pulse ox on my foot, and after having my prayer, and getting all settled on my ventilator, I CONKED OUT!!!

I slept very well dreaming about drones and Harpsichords as I'm known to do.

Thank you once again for reading another blog post, and may God bless you and keep you.

REMEMBER, ONLY HE, can love you PERFECTLY!!!!!!
