2/19/2007I am so sore and tired today...yet I can't seem to sleep. I don't know if it's the medications or the aftermath of the illness but I am exhausted. What's odd is that this doesn't happen...

2/17/2007Wow, reading my last journal entry it seems as if I was in a pretty good funk. I guess I was. I try to be honest about my feelings when I make a journal entry. Normally I'm pretty upbeat but...

2/15/2007Feeling fragile. I am so on edge almost anything can set me off on a severe coughing fit. My chest is so sore I cringe if anyone gets within 5 feet of me. The prednisone has me really wired...

2/13/2007Well, I went to the pulmonologist's office today. They must think that I'm am an attention addict or something. The last three times that  I have been there I have had an attack for one...

2/9/2008Not a particularly good day. I have some sort of respiratory distress going on and have initiated my asthma action plan. Hopefully things calm down and I will be able to avoid an ER visit....

Thanksgiving is just a week away. How time flies. My last journal entry I was complaining about the heat wave back in August. Well I got by that with caution but it did seem to sap my energy a...

For the last couple of weeks the weather has been good. Now the heat has made a return visit, It is August so I guess it's to be expected but I sure enjoyed the mild temperatures while they wer...

I used to update my journal regularly....now I see that it has been almost a month since I posted. The good news is that the temp has dropped, at least temporarily, into the 80's. I don't know how...

Today is the start of a cool weather front if you can call 92 degrees cool.Still it beats the 97-98 degrees we have been getting for the last week or so. I guess I should not complain. In the 70's I...
