I survived, so far...

Well, yesterday was the day from hell, but I made it through.  Had a total of 8 attacks yesterday, the last one at 11:20pm.  I am so glad oxygen works so well for me.  I use a new mask called a Clustermasx which has a better face mask and a larger reservoir bag than a standard non-rebreather mask.  I can actually take full deep breaths of oxygen and abort almost twice as fast as with my old mask.  Thanks Ben!  Because the O2 works better and faster with the new mask, I only had to use the imitrex injections twice.  I use the vials and .5cc, 31 gauge, short needle syringes.  I like this much better than the stab and slam StatDose injector system.  I have discovered I can abort an attack with 1/2 a dose (3mg) which means I can take 4 shots in any 24 hour period.

I didn't accomplish everything I wanted to do yesterday because of the attacks.  I did manage to get the wife's new redbud tree planted.  I started work on the tower part of the grand daughter's playground, but wrenched my shoulder somehow while digging the post holes so I'll have to put that off until later.  Hopefully I can get it done by this weekend so Sahara can play on it.

So far today has been a much better day, but from the looks of the radar, tonight is going to be a bad night.  Changes in barometric pressure can be a massive trigger for me and there is a large storm front building up in North Texas that looks like it might be headed this way.  I'll be keeping a close watch on that.  Oh, my head...
