I am wondering if perhaps fate is fooling with me. I am feeling terrific. My PF's are higher than they have been in months. My numbers are so far into the green tht it would make Al Gore proud. Now...

A good friend of mine invited my wife and I to a retirement party for his wife. She was a postal inspector and had reached retirement age. My friend and I had played baseball and softball together...

Normally I try to remain fairly upbeat but sometimes I do get just a bit frustrated. Today when I went for my CT scan I wound up being pushed around in a wheel chair. When I was registering for the...

As days go, today was sort of ho hum. I don't have any major gripes but I don't have the euphoria of yesterday either. It was not bad. I am finally down into the 35 mg area of prednisone so that's...

I am feeling great today. If this is a prednisone high, I'll take it. I'm breathing easy, energetic, and upbeat. Simply stated, I feel like me. This high sure took it's time getting here this time. 8...

Well, I'm up. (Ta Da!)  This is the second time this morning that I can say that. Earlier (and I do mean early) I was up for about an hour. While on my meds sleep comes when it will. I do get about...

In the words of Yul Bryner from his immortal role as the King of Siam in "The King and I", my asthma "is a puzzlement". I received a call from the pulmonologist today and they want me to get an MRI...

Well, I went to the pulmonologist's office today and the outlook wasn't all that bad. I received the anticipated lecture about being out in the heat and took it. I had it coming.  The pulmonologist...

I am now able to do a few things. My pf's are in the green and I'm feeling pretty good. Still can't move around without gasping for air but I'm feeling better. But I can now talk a bit without all...

I am still having a few issues. In the morning I have problems talking without getting breathless. All the meds have my PF's back in the green zone.  But I am very sore and I get SOB with very...

As I am now in the midst of one of my prescribed ,every 4 hours, neb treatments for today and tomorrow, I have a little time on my hands(My hands are also free since they let me keep the breathing...

It's 6:15 am and I just got back from the ER. Yesterday was the hottest day of the year for us and I got stuck out in it. The heat caused me to have a major attack and I had to go to the ER. What...

Once every summer I break out my old Casey Stengel story about the hot steamy weather we have here in the Lou. The story goes that at the 1966 Baseball All Star game that was held here in St.Louis,...

I went to the dentist yesterday. I have had some problems with one of my crowns on one of my front teeth and also a  filling came out. All my sneezing and coughing did the poor thing in. Well it...

Today the weather around here is wonderful. We had a t-storm or three last night and the temperature is now in the low 80's and the air is in the green zone.  I seem to be breathing great and I'm...
