We went to the pulmonologist today. As for the nose bleed the Afrin worked. He was able to go to bed with out issue. We got 5 tanks of portable oxygen dropped off yesterday and today he passed all his oxygen tests so they say he does not need it unless his pulsox goes below 90. At the Dr it was 92 so if he can keep it up should be good. I did mention he may need it in the evenings. However if he does not need the oxygen then the nose bleed should not be a problem. Except when sleeping with the CPAP and that he has been doing for a long time. The pulmonologist said he does not need to come back for 6 weeks. His breathing is good the issue is the fluid which is because of the heart failure. More important for the Dr tomorrow since we see the cardiologist.
For how well everyone is getting along it is horrible. My mom got pissy and i was like ok but why are you mad. She is like you (talking about me) asked questions that is not how i do it. I really did not care. I was still like why are you mad. there was no reason for it. On the same note my dad got the lung breather exercise thing, and put up stink as to how long to use it. I literally want to put them in a cage match and give them each their cane and see who comes out alive. Holy cow i wanted to slap both of them. i did have to tell my mom on the breath exerciser thing. I said dont even ask him about it. they were arguing over who gets to decide when he is allowed to stop using it after a week (the nurse said to use it a week).
