yaaa... not so much.

so i thought i was getting better...

i drove out to school this morning and taught for 1/2 a day. the commute was gorgeous w/ all the snow laden trees. kinda bizarre to see the autumn leaf colors peering through. we had no power in our schools, so this seemed like a good day to get in to see my dr. about my relentless coughing. (it was kinda chilly. poor kids!)

found out that i have bronchitis. i'm hoping the anitbiotic will help things. i'm soo sick and tired of being sick and tired. also found out that i have asthma. thinking back over my life, i think i've suffered from this since i was in grade school. every winter when i got sick, i would develop a hacking cough that would stay with me for months. my sisters used to joke and say that if ever we got separated in a crowd, they only had to wait a minute and listen for my cough to determine where i was. kinda wild that this wasn't detected or treated until now, eh? so, i now have two inhalers for different situations.

walking and the cool air seem to really trigger my coughing bouts, so i plan to be at home resting for the next few days. wish i could be outside... enjoy the fall colors for me!

Asthma and Bronchitis? Bummer. At least in your case the asthma thing is mild.
Hope you feel better.
