Stupid tree sex and stupid lung crud.

The doctor seemed very sympathetic when taking deep breaths made me cough which hurts so much I burst into tears. So I just got to have the lovely experience of my very first albuterol treatment in-office.

When that didn't do much, I got sent home with a prescription for my very own inhaler, some cough syrup with codeine so I can try that sleeping thing I remember so fondly and antibiotics if I continue to run a low grade fever for more than a couple more days. And the instruction to try to avoid laughing, since that's the worst trigger right now.

I'm sullen and achy and hungry and just generally foultempered. But my husband will be home in an hour or so and there well be onion feta risotto and stupid computer games. Until then, I will keep alternating popsicles and cough drops and watch my embarrassing feel-good sports movie from Netflix.

Hopefully tomorrow will bring more post officing and present shopping and maybe even a farmers market or a matinee. Or maybe even just some comfortable breathing. That would be nice, too.

my goodness! I am fervently wishing you good results with all your treatments. is this degree of allergic reaction a new thing for you, or something you've been battling for years? either way, *hugs* the closest I've come is when I was recovering from pneumonia; I remember stopping one quarter of the way up a hill and offering sincere thanks for not having asma/allergy problems. but as a chronic pain person, I'm all for discover preventative/dispelling meds that do the job.

Strangely enough, ever since I quit smoking a couple years ago, my allergies seem to have been getting worse. But this is definitely the first time it's hurt this much.

Thanks for the hugs.

Thanks for the hugs

always ready to give them. on days when the pain is in control, the things like sitting and hugging my dog for several minutes, or a friends voice, or kind words, they can mean so much.
