Asthma
Mon Feb 28 2005

This weekend has not been pleasant. It rained a bit last night and settled, somewhat, whatever is in the air that's causing the problem.

I'm back on Advair twice a day, plus inhaler when needed. I don't like the albuterol because it makes me jittery for awhile, then drops me to the point all I want to do is sleep. It passes in an hour or so, and it's better than not being able to breathe, but still....

I slept with the vaporizer going last night. Also cleaned up the air filter, and it's going right now in the living room. I don't know how much good it's actually doing because it's not a big powerful filter system, but at least I feel like I'm doing something.

I'm tired of rain, and I wish Spring would hurry up and get here, but right now, rain is what I need to keep the air clear. I'm feeling like a prisoner because when I go outside my chest feels like someone is sitting on it. So I stay inside. BAH!

The mail has piled up again. I'll be reading but not leaving comments. And I'll be unsubscribing from a lot of news newsletters. When I get me under control, and the mail sorted, I'll start leaving comments again. Just be assured right now...I'm reading and enjoying. Just not commenting.

Shalom

    Oh dear . . . things do not sound good! I hope something works for you and that you are better soon.

    I thought about you today as Erin and I visited the art museum. I would love to see your work.

    I wish you comfort,
    Love,
    Anne

    The Powell pieces were on square pillars, and YES, right there where you could touch them! Of course, we did not. The gentlemen watching over the exhibit showed us the price list - they ranged from $23,000.00 up to $25,000.00 per vessel! They were awesome to view. I would not dream of touching them as I imagine they have a 'you break it, you buy it' policy! hehehe I just love bright colors and unusual shapes, it was such a pleasure to be there. The artist will be at the museum on Thursday night for a reception . . . it is tempting to go and meet him but I will probably not as I'd be paying admission again. There was a wonderful video showing how he makes them for us to view.

    I hope you are feeling better. I can't wait for Spring either. This rain and cold is depressing at times.

    Thanks for your comment. I think I'm afflicted with SIAB (Summer is a Bummer) syndrome. ;)

    R has asthma too, so I know what the weather can do to you. Take care of yourself.
