My mom was trying to clean off the marks in the paint from the licyol(sp) used on the mold on our ceiling and she fell off of the foot stool and got hurt on Wednesday. She had a doctor apt. Thursdsay and six X-rays taken. The injury is muscular and she has emphysema. There is scarring from way back. She was doing some research about it online and it seems like she had some of the symptoms of it back in high school. She may have had the kind emphysema that occurs from birth with some kind of deficiency of something and then had that aggravated by smoking and smog. It doesn't make sense that she would be able to reach normal 100 percent lung function at times though. Even the doctor was quite. She spent almost nine months with a frozen shoulder and physical therapy for it, then had bronchitis. Now this.

This is on top of fibromyalgia with myoclonis or connective tissue pain, chemical hyper sensitivities, allergies, migrains, and I'm guessing still the asthma. She will have another appointment with the doctor next week.

The injury from the fall is on the left side, so she can't fully use a cane on that side and the locked shoulder thing was on the right side so she can fully rest her weight on a cane on that side any more. Over all, it stinks.

My mom had her appointment with the lung doctor yesterday. Her emphysema is thought to have been largely cause by toxic exposures, under-treated asthma, and allergies. She uses accessory muscles for breathing more than her diaphragm. Her difficulty using her diaphragm when she had w-rays done for her rib injury is part of what helped classify it as severe.

She is trying to quit smoking cold turkey now and my dad isn’t always the most supportive of things for her.
