2/27/2008Well, I went in and saw the pulmonologist today. I wound up coughing and was given another breathing treatment. (So much for the hoped for uneventful visit).  I was extended for another...

2/20/2008This seems to be a good day...so far. Although I did not get as much sleep as I would like, I do feel better. I will catch a nap later so things will balance out.It's amazing how self...

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....

1/29/08Poor journal. It seems you only hear from me when I have a gripe. Today will be no different. I overdid myself yesterday and last night I had to implement my asthma action plan. It worked but...

1/23/2008Another doctor visit...another med. My pulmonologist wants me to start taking Zyflo CR instead of Singulair. It has a slight risk of liver damage so I had to have my blood checked for liver...

1/17/2008Ah winter, Cold weather has moved in with a vengeance. As a result I have had to find my scarf again. I went out without it today and the frigid air hit my airway and lungs like a knife....

1/9/2008I was able to run some errands today. It went well. I was able to get everything done and make it back home OK. Progress!! On the down side, I had a pretty bad asthma attack once home. I...

1/2/2008This is my first journal entry of the new year. I am just going to make a brief entry.My asthma has been kicking up for the last few weeks and I haven't felt up to par. I had to initiate my...

12/17/2007I think I must have lost a bit of my gusto lately. I haven't made a journal entry in the month of December. For some reason I lacked motivation. My computer crashed and my access is...
