state of the sick

[emchy]

so i went to the dr. my cold triggered an asthma attack that started on saturday night. i have been taking roosters abuterol but it hasn't really been helping so i thought it wasn't asthma. WRONG. it was just such an extreme attack that the  inhaler wasn't helping. good thing i didnt get all dead. apparently it was a pretty intense one. sure i woke up not being able to breathe and have been having a hard time - but hey thats why i called the dr right? so i am on a steroid to calm the inside of the lung swelling. i am still coughing like a sonofabitch. breathing is still very challenging. but supposedly i will feel better soon. i did a nebulizer breathing treatment at the dr's office. it almost helped but seems to have worn off. good times.

Oh, that sucks - you have my sympathies.

I've got a home nebulizer system if you're in dire need...

you would think but so far it just feels the same and maybe a bit worse after last night. i am on prednisone though so maybe it'll take a few days for it to kick in.

sigh - it is. i hate the weaknesses of the human body.
