I have asthma....Officially

Ok, this is misleading - I've always had asthma. As as child it was quite serious, but as I got older it got better. In my teens I was completely off meds and feeling fine, but in my 20's and 30's it's slowly been coming back. Now, whenever I get sick (like a cold or flu) the asthma kicks in immediately.

So, lately I've been under the weather (feeling better, then feeling worse) but Sunday i ws feeling bad - but I was skiing on Monday NO MATTER what!

But this morning I couldn't fool myself anymore - partly due to being up all night coughing and coughing! So, off we went to the Doctor this am. the conversation went like this - Doc: Have you been using your puffers? Me: ahhh, no. I haven't had any puffers in years. Doc: Do you have problems with sports induced breathing problems? Me: ahhh, yes, now that you mention it. Doc: I know you're smarter than that. Here's a script for a puffer to keep on hand for sports, etc and here's another with heavy steroids to kick the asthma and irritation you have presently. Please use both!

So, I stayed home today thinking if I was at work my coughing would interupt the rest of my floor! And, I suspect I will stay home tomorrow to give it another day of healing. MAYBE, I'll be able to get some TRX in - as long as its cardio free! I'm sure I can find lots of core exercises that would do the trick!

Any-ho....I should be resting...so off I go!
