I just got an email from a #PulmonaryHypertension organization promising tips on what to eat and what to avoid, for people with my condition.

Newsflash! Eat fresh fruits, veggies, and whole grains! Avoid too much salt! WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED? WHAT GENIUS IS RESPONSIBLE?

Someone got paid to write that article and send that email.

(Oo I’m grumpy. Lol.)

I did my lung exercises AND my stupid boring leg exercises for the first time since I got out of the hospital.

I have a hard time walking from the bedroom to the kitchen. Scary. If I remember right, I was this bad before I started physical therapy but improved quickly. Fingers crossed that happens again. I don’t want to go to a nursing home yet.

I ran errands and ate a simply enormous cheese blintz. The Beloved Englishman is digging up some RF shielding material from his workshop so I can sew a protective pouch for my medication pump. This will tell us once and for all if the problem is RF interference or not.

Hypothesis: the CPAP machine was part of the problem, but there is some other source of RF as well. But only in bedroom at night 🙄

Good morning friends!

I think we’ve solved The Case of the Mysterious Nighttime Medication Pump False Alarms! It was Dave’s unused but plugged in CPAP machine phoning home with diagnostics at night.

We need a few more alarm-free nights to be certain, but all the clues add up perfectly. I’ll fill this post with hashtags for anyone else who has this problem and will also write a detailed blog post full of useful keywords.
