Today was the pulmonoligist appointment. Three more tests to be done. Breathing, swallowing and scan of esophagus. Two tests on 9/26 and last one on 10/16. Two medications stopped and two new ones. All still seems good with lungs. Depending on the test results I may be sent to a gastro specialist. Educated guess was damage to voice box due to acid reflux combined with constant post nasal drip. Oh, well I do enjoy a good mystery!
If you have heard of flooding in Texas, it is no where near us. Our area only getting a few scattered showers. That does not mean the folks in the Houston area are not in read trouble. Really sad situation. 43 inches (1 meter) of rain in one area a single day. And we humans continue to migrate to areas where floods are getting even worse.
Our trip in June to South Carolina was to several of the locations where the previous hurricane did damage. Here are a few photos of our visit to Myrtle Beach at the Myrtle Beach State Park. We did not spend very long on the beach but what time we were there was very pleasant. The cool ocean breeze made the walking very pleasant. Waded out and were surprised to find the water very warm, something like 87℉, 30℃.

And this is the public state park beach. |
My Hubby of 52 years stands on the beach of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This was the last of the lower 48 states for us to visit. Toes in the Atlantic and it was time to get some food.
And time for us to gather to return to Texas.
Unfortunately this area of the beach lost 3 sea turtle nests to the hurricane. Bummer.
Ya'll take care. See you later.

ReplyDeleteWell,that was twist to your tale... lovely fend-off with the images from SC! Am on the move - may be out of comms range. YAM xx
Well, enjoy your journey. I am tired of being puny. I spent time working on processing more photos. The doctor gave me some serious meds for the post nasal drip. What a difference already. Doing my best to not use my voice as she believes that between the reflux and post nasal drip that my voice box is in a major state of irritation. Rest the cords and new allergy meds. Go ahead and make a few more tests to confirm there is nothing more serious causing the issue. Sure hope this works! I am ready to be outside without coughing myself into a state of not being able to talk or get my breath. Time will tell. And I still have some of that. Would you believe the bonus grandson that had the appendix issue was hurt playing football last night? No broken bone but a tear of something in his left knee. On crutches now. Life with boys. namaste, janice xx
DeleteLovely photos of your trip, the rains have certainly made everything lush and green. The weather across the globe seems v unpredictable we had had droughts and floods here in Thailand. I feel for all those affected by hurricane damage and flood
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear about all your health concerns, It's a pain all those Drs appointments.
Hope you have a good week
