The Simple Life at Home

That's not why I'm considering changing my name.

After feeling better for a few days, I've since taken a turn for the worse again.  Fortunately, I'm not in pain and I still feel pretty good for the most part.  But I've still been having coughing fits and now those fits are finished up with my windpipe completely closing up, leaving me gasping for air.  Picture those movies where the character is asthmatic and is in the throes of a severe attack, gasping and frantically searching for an inhaler.  That's what it's been like for the last 3 or 4 days.  I cough for about 30 seconds and then gasp for air for another 30-60 seconds.  It's a terrifying feeling to be totally unable to breathe!

It got to the point today that my boss sent me home from work early.  I went back to the hospital to get re-checked and the doctor (bless her heart!) prescribed an inhaler for me.  I'm hoping that that will help tremendously.

Oh, and I may have some news on the job situation tomorrow.  I've been promised that the problem will be resolved as soon as one woman returns from vacation and that should be in the next day or two.  I wasn't told exactly what the resolution would be, but whatever it is, I just want things to be peaceful and settled.  I'll keep you posted.
