Updating what is going on

Got my eyes done finally. Started on July 9th for right eye cataracht, and that night went into hospital in Orem, UT with pneumonia and was in there for 5 days. Got over that and then while recuperating at Russ and Sher home I did a sleep study with an over night "slumber party" in the sleep center. Got the left eye surgery done on July 27th and did not go into the hospital after that one. Did go back to Dr. Stahlie for results on sleep study after that surgery. When I left the hospital I have been on oxygen 24/7. Sleep study Dr. not sure why my blood oxygen is so low. He sent me to a breathing test. He said that it showed that I don't have emphismia, and not know why still have the low oxygen. Advised me to see a Pulmonolgist. Tried to find one in Logan so I could go home. Found that Logan is still behind the times and doesn't have a specialist at all. In fact everyone has to go to the McKay-Dee hospital in Ogden to do that kind of stuff. Decided to stay in Orem to have that visit done and will see that doctor on Sept. 1st.
Russ and Sher have been taking good care of me and Sher is feeding us all some great meals.
