Truly, one of the most ANNOYING things about being short of breath is not being able to walk around while talking on the phone at the same time. When I am on the phone, I am moving. I get some of my best work done! Some people sit and chat; I move around a LOT. For the first time I don't have enough breath to do both comfortably. It's very, very disconcerting. The Ventolin is helping and the antibiotics should kick in tomorrow. (Remember..... well-wishers beware..... just don't do it.)
I completed a successful trip to Costco today....and by successful I mean that all the goodies I bought have been secreted away in all kinds of sneaky and devious spots ensuring that that I can make them last more than three days. It's certainly cheaper without the children but I'm used to having my minions ready and waiting when I pull up. It's no fun unloading the Costco loot by yourSELF.

I do a pretty good job of avoiding phones even when my breathing is fine :) Not a big phone person... Glad the ventolin is helping!(not a well wishing comment, right?)
ReplyDeleteOne thing I found interesting. Once Dad and I were out hiking up to Marymere and my chest felt really tight which I recognized to be an asthma attack which I had never really had problems with before. We drove home and I checked my O2 sats which read 90. No inhalers around so I got online looked up home remedies and found that many used a hot caffeinated drink. A cup of hot tea later and my sats were back to 97. I drink a lot of coffee in the morning which does more than anything to get me "functional" I think... Just thought you might find that interesting :)
