Life Update?

I know I haven't posted/shared anything the past couple days. Really haven't known what to say. It's Monday and the week has started....hopefully it will be a good week. Today, I took my grandma to her doctor appointment. She is not doing too well....she has trouble with her oxygen/breathing. She has COPD...but her oxygen drops if she's up and moving around while being on oxygen. Doctor is sending her for a pulmonary function test ASAP. My Grandpa is still doing the same....stays in bed all day. Doesn't seem to be improving really. I'm back on low carb today, but for how long? That's a good question. I hope for a long time.... Hope you are all doing well....and the image is something I colored in an app.

I hope your week is good. And I hope your Grandma is better soon. My Dad had COPD. And good thoughts go out for your Grandpa too. Pretty image.

@MommyOfEli2013 He suffered and it never got better. But maybe it will for your Grandma. Does your Grandpa have it as well?

@CarolDM Oh wow, that is scary...I am so sorry! I am hoping she can get better....she was doing better for a while but now is really struggling. She did smoke for probably 40 years though. My grandpa does not have breathing issues as far as I know.

@MommyOfEli2013 sometimes doctors are in the same boat as us. the mystery of the human body is still pretty large.

@MommyOfEli2013 With COPD, it's a progressive illness.

I'm sorry your Grandmother and Grandfather are not doing well. Hopefully you will be able to stay on low carb for most of the week.
