This is, hopefully, my last month of having to do nebulizer treatments four times a day for an hour each time to combat one of the infections that came with my new lung. One of the most frustrating things about these treatments is the time. It wouldn’t be so bad if I could get work done while I was doing it. The tricky part, however, is to keep the medication flowing properly, I have to hold my head level and straight. Not seeing well, I tend to bend forward to look at everything. I’ve tried doing the HPS Network’s social media while I’m nebbing. That works as long as I can hold my phone up right in front of my face without bending my neck or chin. Eventually, my arms just get tired! I’ve tried knitting. That works as long as I’m doing something very simple. I’m not a talented enough knitter to do complicated stitches without looking (although I have blind friends who can do it.)
Then this morning I had a shower idea! My best ideas tend to come to me in the shower. It might be hard to do work on the computer without bending forward, but I could blog with my eyes closed! I touch type so I don’t need to see what I’m doing to write! Eurika!
It kills me that I’ve invested so much in telling my HPS story over the years, and yet this year, probably one of the most important, I’ve barely written a thing!
So, here’s hoping that this last neb month will help me catch up! Happy writing!
