So I haven't written in a few days. I'm just going to recap our night in NYC as well as my appointment in Philly!
Tuesday around noon, Rawley and I left to go to NYC. We had a nice lunch at a local pizza shop. I had probably the best Philly cheesesteak I have ever had in my whole life. It was a great lunch before the big city! We arrived in Parsippany, NJ around 4pm or a little after, got around, and then headed into the city 40 minutes away. With the show at 7, we thought we would have plenty of time to get into the city and walk around for a few minutes beforehand. Lucky for us, with traffic very backed up, we managed to make it to the show at exactly 7pm!
Let me tell you... we sat next to the loudest person in the whole theater! The screams coming from this girl were earsplitting, but the show definitely called for them! The show had an amazing set and amazing choreography, as well as some very talented singers. The show was about a young man (Darren Criss) who starts out as a window washer and makes his way to the top of a company out of sheer good luck and due to reading a book called How To Succeed. It was very well put together, and definitely worth every minute of it. After the show, we stopped at T.G.I. Friday to eat and called it a quick night and drove back to the hotel to sleep.
While the show was great, the downfall of the night was that I couldn't stop coughing. The guy in front of Rawley and me kept turning around everytime I coughed, and I got a lot of rude looks. I can understand why, but there was no way I could stop it. I took my inhaler very often and had Dayquil before the show. Nothing seemed to work, and next time I will try even harder to keep coughing away before a show.
It seems I have been coughing for about a week. I have never had a cough last this long without being sick in the hospital. I believe it is a mixture of the weather, air irritants, and possibly the mixture of pets I'm around between my house and Rawley's house. I got very concerned about what the doctor would say the day I had my appointment, but I went in there with a positive attitude.
At my appointment, I saw Dr. Hadjiliadis. My FEV1 came back as 58% as compared to 63%. Dr. Hadj said it was probably just due to the weather changes and possibly a cold. He said Nyquil at night as needed would help as well as starting my inhaled antibiotic early. Also on the agenda is taking better care of my blood sugars. Rawley and I are working together to get my sugars more under control. When I forget, he is going to remind me. It's really nice having someone who is so into helping me stay healthy, and is willing to do anything to make sure it stays that way.
Also in new news, I will be moving out of my parents house and into Rawley's parent's house. Until we can get a house, moving in together is the best and easiest way to start saving up towards building or buying a house. Also, it will give us an idea of how it will be to live together as a couple before getting married. Wedding ideas have been thrown around, but nothing has been chosen yet. Getting a house is a huge deal, and doing both a wedding and a house at the same time is really not financially possible. One step at a time, I say.
Here's to hoping for the best for the future with health, home, marriage, and family...
