Trouble breathing.

.

Fluid backing up into my lungs.  I've been fighting that for a while.  But shouldn't be?  I am drinking less fluid, and using compression socks, which combined is seeing very little fluid build up in the legs.  I need a break, every three to five days, a day off.  But, when I get back to it, I'm still doing good.

Though, that... may just not be the issue.  It may just be the heart is beginning to pump even less strongly, so it wouldn't matter how much fluid I have.  It is blood backing up into the lungs.  I still have some water pills, which can help.  But not many.  Then again, with the rest of the fluids managed, I don't think I need to take waterpills for that AND for the heart.

So, rather than needing a handfull of them, perhaps one a day, for several days, will do?  I'll find out.  Even so, running low.  Can't go to the V.A., they still require a mask.  With lungs full of blood, a mask is doubly impossible.  I hope congress is watching, as sees the V.A. is serving far fewer vets, so needs to be cut.  That... would get the mask mandate ended.  Nothing like losing money for a union to... rethink things.  But, congress doesn't care, unless it doesn't get a cut.  Unions are sharing out a cut.  Vets are just dying.  Both are considered features, not bugs, by .gov and unions.

When breathing becomes difficult, mood suffers.  Will do what I can about it.

I can't say how warm it got today.  But, at 19:30, it is already down to 67.  Strongly partly cloudy?  Oddly partly cloudy.  Some are thin, some thick, here and there, with a reasonable amount of open sky too.  Could bunch up and rain, by look, not by feel.  Strange weather.

So tired.  May not be up very long.  Opened up the upstairs when I awoke, and after seeing the temp is that low, opened the house to get fresh air and some cool in.  It is 70/73 (main/front room) downstairs.  Was 73/75 near me, upstairs, when I woke.

Well... on with what of the day I can manage.
