For the last week or so I have been having asthma issues. I waited and waited, taking my rescue inhaler and hoping that it would get better. Sunday morning I get up, get dressed, and nearly have an asthma attack on the way to work. I still try to go. On the way to work, I am made late by a Marathon ... Twenty minutes sitting waiting for a chance to cross the never ending stream of cardio-vascular nuts. We are stopped again on the way to work, by the same marathon. I stay at work for all of thirty minutes before it becomes clear that I am going to be unable to do anything, and should really go to the hospital. Since, I was apparently and idiot that morning - I had forgot my id at home.. We drove back home, and attempted to take it the long way to avoid the marathon.. But apparently that Marathon crossed every single major street in Austin. Our drive home, and our drive to the hospital took three times as long as it should have.. Ironic that having an asthma attack, I should be slowed down by a bunch of people running. Also, on the way home I saw things burning in the sky - very bright entering the atmosphere kind of burning.. Turns out that there were sattelites falling over Texas.
The hosptial portion went well, excpet that they gave me 60mg of prednisone rather than the usual 40, and an hour of albuterol nebulizer treatment.. I was so dizzy, lightheaded, and anxious when I left the hospital (side effecfs of Albuterol).. The usual treatment is 20 minutes - three times the normal dose of Albuterol. It took my resting heartrate from about 60 to 100. Further than this, prednisone makes my joints swollen, and messes with my appetite. I will be on 60mg of prednisone through friday. My fingers and hands are swollen and painful, but it is preferable to not being able to breathe. I also got two new rescue inhalers. That at least makes me happy. Very Strange Sunday.
Things Positive in my Life:
I start my Math Class today - It's a 12 week instead of a 16 week course.
I'm working on writing a book (Non-Fiction Spiritual) With my Ex.
I LIKE my government class. I have a renewed interest and love for Texas. It makes my libertarian heart smile.
I have a boyfriend who's super supportive even when I am being bitchy (I get really bitchy when I'm sick)
A few more weird things:
I had a dream that I got a B in my history class. I was so pissed.
I apparently get a littel stir crazy when I am forced to not do anything. I leveled a death knight from 55 to 60 In one sitting.
My history teacher wants us to use a different format than MLA or the standard accepted paper writing formats for our papers .. Strange lady she is.
Time to head to work..
Oh and for those of you who have an interest, Mage Game this Saturday (non cam).
