Delayette, it will pass, for me and Dh it took about 10 days, during most of those days we took my visiting Mum to the beach, where even though 80 degree sunny weather was forecasted we had a nor'easter, 60 mph winds, rain, crappy weather. We were tense.
the car ride was the worst. You could cut the tension with a knife. I was dying and wondering how I was going to survive. Poor Mum.
the worst was after we picked up the cats, 5 mins from home, my very upset 9 yr old cat poops in his carrier, never done this before, and all of a sudden we get trapped in a construction delay, windows are down we are spraying air fresher in the car, everyone is holding their breathe, it stinks, poor Mum is sitting right beside the carrier, both cats are meowing, my phone rings, DH looks at me and comments - this is a cigarette moment huh?
I went home and had a drink. whew. It seemed like that whole 10 days was crap. In retrospect we lost our coping mechanism, cigarettes and had to come up with a new one.
Deep breathing really helps, exercise, we walked alot, your sense of smell and taste should be coming back now, and soon you will feel alot better. Today I got a post from this board that I have 30% of my lung function back - now that is happy news. I hope you are doing better.
