Posachedwa, ndidasamukira kudera lonse kuchokera ku Washington, D.C., kupita ku San Diego, California. Monga munthu wokhala ndi mphumu yoopsa, ndidafika poti thupi langa silimatha kuthana ndi kutentha kwakukulu, chinyezi, kapena mpweya.

Tsopano ndimakhala pachilumba chaching'ono pomwe pali Pacific Ocean kumadzulo ndipo kumpoto kwa San Diego Bay kum'mawa. Mapapu anga akukula bwino mumlengalenga, ndipo kukhala opanda kutentha pang'ono kuzizira kwakhala kosintha masewera.

Ngakhale kusamutsa kwachita zodabwitsa pa mphumu yanga, sizinthu zokhazo zomwe zimathandiza - ndipo si za aliyense. Ndaphunzira zambiri pazaka zambiri za momwe ndingapangire kusintha kwakanthawi kosavuta pamakina anga opumira.

Nazi zomwe zimagwira ine ndi mphumu yanga nyengo yonseyi.

Kusamalira thupi langa

Anandipeza ndi mphumu ndili ndi zaka 15. Ndinkadziwa kuti ndimavutika kupuma ndikamachita masewera olimbitsa thupi, koma ndimangoganiza kuti sindili bwino komanso waulesi. Ndinalinso ndi ziwengo za nyengo ndi chifuwa chaka chilichonse Okutobala mpaka Meyi, koma sindinaganize kuti zinali zoyipa choncho.

Nditadwala mphumu ndikupita kuchipinda chodzidzimutsa, ndidazindikira kuti zisonyezo zanga zonse zidachitika chifukwa cha mphumu. Kutsatira kuti andipeza ndi matenda, moyo unayamba kukhala wosavuta komanso wovuta. Kuti ndigwiritse ntchito bwino m'mapapo mwanga, ndimayenera kumvetsetsa zomwe zimayambitsa matenda anga, monga nyengo yozizira, masewera olimbitsa thupi, komanso ziwengo zachilengedwe.

Pamene nyengo zimasintha kuyambira chilimwe kufika nthawi yozizira, ndimatenga njira zonse zomwe ndingathe kuonetsetsa kuti thupi langa likuyambira pamalo olimba momwe zingathere. Zina mwa izi ndi izi:

• kutenga chimfine chaka chilichonse
• kuwonetsetsa kuti ndayamba kulandira katemera wanga wa pneumococcal
• kusunga khosi ndi chifuwa changa kutentha nthawi yozizira, zomwe zikutanthauza kutulutsa zofiira ndi zoluka (zomwe sizili ubweya) zomwe zasungidwa
• kupanga tiyi wotentha wambiri kuti mupite nawo
• kutsuka manja anga nthawi zambiri kuposa momwe ndikufunira
• osagawana chakudya kapena zakumwa ndi aliyense
• kukhala wopanda madzi
• kukhala mkatikati mwa Sabata Peak Sabata (sabata lachitatu la Seputembara pomwe mphumu zimakhala zazikulu)
• pogwiritsa ntchito choyeretsera mpweya

Choyeretsera mpweya ndikofunikira chaka chonse, koma kuno ku Southern California, kusunthira kugwa kumatanthauza kulimbana ndi mphepo yoopsa ya Santa Ana. Nthawi ino ya chaka, kukhala ndi choyeretsera mpweya ndikofunikira kuti musapume mosavuta.

Kugwiritsa ntchito zida ndi zida

Nthawi zina, ngakhale mutachita zonse zomwe mungachite kuti mukhale patsogolo, pamapapu anu amasankha kuti musamayende bwino. Ndawona kuti ndizothandiza kukhala ndi zida zotsatirazi pozungulira njirayo zomwe sizisintha, komanso zida zonditengera zinthu zikasokonekera.

Nebulizer kuwonjezera pa kupulumutsa inhaler

Nebulizer yanga imagwiritsa ntchito mawonekedwe amadzimadzi amachitidwe anga opulumutsira, chifukwa chake ndikamayaka, ndimatha kuwagwiritsa ntchito tsiku lonse. Ndili ndi yayikulu yomwe imalumikiza kukhoma, ndi yaying'ono, yopanda zingwe yomwe imakwanira thumba lonyamulira lomwe ndingatengeko kupita kulikonse.

Oyang'anira mawonekedwe amlengalenga

Ndili ndi chowunikira chaching'ono mchipinda changa chomwe chimagwiritsa ntchito Bluetooth kulumikiza foni yanga. Imagwiritsa ntchito mpweya, kutentha, ndi chinyezi. Ndimagwiritsanso ntchito mapulogalamu kuti nditsatire mpweya wabwino mumzinda wanga, kapena kulikonse komwe ndikufuna kupita tsiku limenelo.

Otsatira azizindikiro

Ndili ndi mapulogalamu angapo pafoni yanga omwe amandithandiza kudziwa momwe ndikumvera tsiku ndi tsiku. Ndizovuta, zimakhala zovuta kuzindikira momwe zizindikiro zasinthira pakapita nthawi.

Kusunga mbiri kumandithandiza kuwunika momwe ndimakhalira, zosankha, komanso malo kuti ndizifanane ndi momwe ndimamvera. Zimandithandizanso kulankhula ndi madokotala anga.

Zipangizo zowoneka bwino

Ndimavala wotchi yomwe imayang'anira kugunda kwa mtima wanga ndipo ndimatha kutenga ma EKG ngati ndikufunika kutero. Pali zosintha zambiri zomwe zimakhudza kupuma kwanga, ndipo izi zimandithandiza kuti ndidziwe ngati mtima wanga ukukhudzidwa ndi vuto lina kapena kuwukira.

Zimaperekanso chidziwitso chomwe nditha kugawana ndi pulmonologist wanga komanso cardiologist, kuti athe kukambirana limodzi kuti athandizire bwino chisamaliro changa. Ndimanyamulanso khafu kakang'ono kozungulira ndi pulse oximeter, zonsezi zimasanja deta pafoni yanga kudzera pa Bluetooth.

Maski nkhope ndi zopukutira ma antibacterial

Izi sizingakhale zosavomerezeka, koma nthawi zonse ndimaonetsetsa kuti ndimanyamula zigoba nkhope pang'ono kulikonse komwe ndikupita. Ndimachita izi chaka chonse, koma ndizofunikira makamaka nthawi yachisanu ndi chimfine.

Chiphaso Chachipatala

Izi zitha kukhala zofunikira kwambiri. Wotchi yanga ndi foni zonse zili ndi ID yachipatala yosavuta, chifukwa chake akatswiri azachipatala adziwa momwe angandithandizire pakagwa zadzidzidzi.

Ndikulankhula ndi dokotala wanga

Kuphunzira kudzilankhulira ndekha pachipatala kwakhala chimodzi mwazovuta kwambiri komanso zopindulitsa kwambiri zomwe ndidaphunzira. Mukamakhulupirira kuti dokotala wanu akukumverani, zimakhala zosavuta kuwamvera. Ngati mukuwona kuti gawo la dongosolo lanu la mankhwala silikugwira ntchito, lankhulani.

Mutha kupeza kuti mukufunikira njira yayikulu yosamalira nyengo ikamasintha. Mwinanso wowongolera zizindikilo wowonjezera, wothandizila watsopano wa biologic, kapena oral steroid ndi zomwe muyenera kupeza mapapu anu m'miyezi yozizira. Simudziwa zomwe mungasankhe kufikira mutafunsa.

Kutsatira dongosolo langa

Ngati mwapezeka kuti muli ndi mphumu yovuta, mwina muli kale ndi mapulani. Ngati dongosolo lanu la mankhwala lisintha, ID yanu yazachipatala ndi mapulani anu akuyeneranso kusintha.

Zanga ndizofanana chaka chonse, koma madokotala anga amadziwa kukhala tcheru kuyambira Okutobala mpaka Meyi. Ndili ndi mankhwala oti ndikhale nawo pakamwa pa corticosteroids ku pharmacy yanga omwe nditha kudzaza ndikawafuna. Ndithanso kuwonjezera njira zanga zosamalira ndikadziwa kuti ndipuma movutikira.

Chiphaso changa chamankhwala chimafotokoza momveka bwino chifuwa changa, matenda a mphumu, ndi mankhwala omwe sindingakhale nawo. Ndimasunga zambiri zokhudzana ndi kupuma pafupi ndi ID yanga, chifukwa ndichimodzi mwazinthu zofunikira kwambiri kuzidziwa pakagwa mwadzidzidzi. Nthawi zonse ndimakhala ndi zida zopulumutsa zitatu, ndipo chidziwitsochi chimadziwikanso pa ID yanga.

Pakadali pano, ndimakhala kumalo komwe sikukumana ndi chipale chofewa. Ndikadatero, ndiyenera kusintha dongosolo ladzidzidzi. Ngati mukupanga njira yodzithandizira pakagwa mwadzidzidzi, mungafune kuganizira ngati mukukhala kwinakwake komwe kungapezeke mosavuta ndi magalimoto azadzidzidzi pakagwa mkuntho.

Mafunso ena oti muwaganizire ndi awa: Kodi mumakhala nokha? Ndi ndani yemwe mumalumikizana naye mwadzidzidzi? Kodi muli ndi dongosolo lachipatala lomwe mumakonda? Nanga bwanji malangizo a zamankhwala?

Tengera kwina

Kuyenda moyo ndi mphumu yayikulu kumakhala kovuta. Kusintha kwa nyengo kumatha kupangitsa zinthu kukhala zovuta, koma sizitanthauza kuti zilibe chiyembekezo. Zambiri zitha kukuthandizani kuyang'anira mapapu anu.

Ngati muphunzira momwe mungadzilimbikitsire nokha, gwiritsani ntchito ukadaulo kuti mupindule nawo, ndikusamalira thupi lanu, zinthu ziyamba kuyamba kulowa m'malo mwake. Ndipo ngati mungaganize kuti simungatenge nyengo yozizira ina yopweteka, mapapu anga ndi ine tidzakhala okonzeka kukulandirani ku Southern Southern ya dzuwa.
