When asthma attacks...

[nosilalive]

Well today was one of the scarier days of my life. At practice today, just after the warm-up alone, I couldn’t breathe...and then it got way worse and I started to feel dizzy and it felt like my whole body got a shot of novacaine and I just couldn’t move. I started crying and I seriously felt like I was dying because my vision was going in and out and I blacked out a few times on and off. It sucked because was a good workout and I didn’t get to do it, BT was there today hanging out, and Ridenour was there too, and there were just people I wanted to talk to and stuff. I couldn’t move my entire body and Brandon and Ridenour stayed there with me and they called my mom to come, and I didn’t want to pass out again and so I reached for someone’s hand and I don’t know who it was but all I heard was a muffled “Just squeeze as tight as you want, we’re not going anywhere...” and I couldn’t even feel whoever’s hand it was...and then I had a really sharp numbing pain and so I started screaming and then all of a sudden my mom was there and I didn’t even know when she got there, and then I just saw Ridenour holding my feet down because apparently I wanted to get up...or something...no, I think it was because I was shaking. And I was telling him not to leave or something...man I felt like such a little kid. Then my coach carried me to my car...oy. I was supposed to take a methacholine challenge sometime next week so I can see how severe my asthma is, but my mom called our health insurance provider, and they said that I don’t even need the methacholine challenge anymore because what happened today DEFINITELY should NOT have happened. Soooo now I can’t run again until I see my doctor to give me a stronger inhaler. That sucks soooo bad. I guess having an asthma attack and then overdosing on your inhaler doesn’t help. My medicine didn’t make me feel better so I just took some more and yeahhhhh...

Anyway. The lesson kids, is don’t develop asthma. Don’t have an asthma attack. It makes life way more simple.
