And the wheezing continues. I have energy, which is nice (and the casserole was pretty good), but can't talk much, long, or loudly without coughing up an abdominal organ (I'm betting on my pancreas ( Read more... )

I have been sick since Thursday morning ( Read more... )

I am sick. Snuffly, miserable, having trouble breathing. Olive is home sick too.

Ugh.

Today I went to the pulmonologist. They took a detailed history, talked to me, had a counselor show me how to take my Advair (or, rather, be really impressed that I was so good at it and that I'd read the package insert repeatedly), did a spirography test, did a set of breathing tests, took a chest xray, and set up an appointment for me to come ( Read more... )

Elf got a temp on Thursday, stayed home from school on Friday, and has been sick since. Her temp, like Ben's earlier, pops back up (though not so high as his) every time the meds wear off. I'm ( Read more... )

The past two days at mtgat's, I've been too lazy to drive to the nearest such environment, so have gone out to jog/walk around the subdivision. I'd forgotten how MUCH more work it was to run in real life, out in the real world, on real pavement, propelling my weight, ( Read more... )
