Sleepy


i went to the doctor today. He seems to think that my problems stem from my lungs. He doesn’t want to call it asthma right now because it seems to be more than that.

He is referring me to a pulmonologist and i need to have a full lung function test. He did give me something for my nausea and it is really kicking my butt. i can barely stay awake long enough to write this, so i think i’m going to head to bed now.

What a cool picture of what i think is sleeping beauty.

I know what it's like to have asthma or breathing problems in general kick your butt. i get low on oxygen because my breathing is bad and hence forth kicks my butt as far as any energy is concerned.

As to the nausa and this might sound gross but put either regular coca cola or gingerale into a glass and with a fork completely get the carbination out of it till it's flat. Then take small sips if necessary to keep it down a teaspoon at a time. Both types of soda have things in them to settle your stomach. Now, we can't leave you without some solids to eat so here's the next one...mashed and i mean mashed bananas. Banana's are loaded with potassium and if you are getting dehydrated will replace this important item in your body.

i also know that sometimes because i'm a coffee fiend i get a bit dehydrated and nausas and if i drink about 16ozs of water i feel a whole lot better. Since you have breathing problems you're supposed to keep your water intake up anyway.

Ok, now, dr. kathleen will quietly go away and back to her duties **smiles**
