There are also baro receptors in the carotid arteries. Pneumonia, COPD and CHF go hand in hand in the elderly, dibilated or immobile, post op patients. These illness are part of lung disease in which the oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange is impaired in the lungs because of tissue damage from environmental exposures: smoking, dust, occupational hazards. The lungs take a long time to develop sx and the aging patient can't overcome them as when younger. The heart gets enlarged because there is pulmonary hypertension in the pulmonary artery because of impaired backup in the lungs. Some people have swelling of their feet. Sleep apnea can be addressed via a sleep study. Lack of sleep overtime makes fatigue in the daytime or sleep in the daytime because the person does not get enough deep sleep or REMS. Sleep is necessary to restore, heal and get rid of toxins. Becareful with sleep meds in this type of patient. They should sleep upright, have a cooler room. The above symptoms in an elderly person are against time and they could succumb to these symptoms, they make get well for a while, but could have a relapse. As with pneumonia, they need fluids, rest and out of bed as much as possible, they tend to lie on the affected side. Definitely antibiotics, incentive spirometer, IV fluids to hydrate, some people mouth breath. All the above symptoms are inter related. Should have O-2 sats checked and may need oxygen at a low level. As with COPD, high oxygen interferes with the natural ability to breath and shuts of the respiratory center/drive and can cause death. good luck. the docs know how to handle this, It's common and sad.

(i had a dog flea jump on me in the vets waiting room). Once this has been brought home they can multiply quite quickly. The frontline will work on the cat so she will be ok but you need to get a decent quality spray, flea bombs or foggers to treat your house. Don't forget to do any cushions she lies on, or where you have found them, plus any bedding. Yours as well as hers if she has been on your bed.

The dream is pretty true to your feelings and passions about gun control. I believe dreams are the mind trying to organize flashes of thoughts or actions that didn't get completely mulled over during the waking day. For instance, if you saw on tv a part of a news blip on a murder but didn't really give yourself a chance to think about it, then, the ideas are there in your subconscious but didn't get processed. Your dream has a chance to sort these things out. You were at a gas station-type place with a bed...haha, you were in bed weren't you...and, you can cite this dream incident as a reason why you don't like guns in real life. Your dream is quite factual, actually. Now, if you see that the next day there was to be a gas station robbery..maybe you had a premonition.

Have most of them on video. Not a tool fan, but this makes me think about how cool IRON MAIDEN's "ACES HIGH" would sound with this! Nice job! Love McBragg! Have most of them on video.
