    • About Me

      Hi, I'm marg. Everyone that reads these probally remembers my orginal login. Well I'm back. My passions are getting up each day and being able to breath without a wheeze. I am 50 and had adult onset asthma at the age of 38. I am a single parent of a special needs adult and at times I feel like I am going crazy. Believe in yourself and you can make it through the day.

      Have begun to work out a little bit. This has increased lung capacity. Sewing and designing are my favorite thing to do.

      From SnowOwl February 20, 2007

      Hi marg, Thank you for your message. do that clearing the throat cough too & it drives my Prince (Dear husband)crazy,he calls it my fake cough.I just tell him it clears my throat & makes it easier for me to breathe at the time. Sounds like you have your hands fullwith you special needs Son. Be kind to yourself deserve it & you need time for yourself,even if it is just 1/2 hour to do something you enjoy. Maybe somone else could stay with him,if he can not be left alone,then maybe you could have your own time when your husband can be with him. I'm sending you a great big hug right now. Bye for now. Sincerely, Snow Owl
