OK.. burst my bubble

My lungs are acting up again. Reality check….. With everything that’s been going on lately, I almost forgot….. I’m a hardcore asthmatic!

I have such huge swings in my endurance levels , that my disease often tricks me into thinking that maybe my lung function is actually improving, and then …WHAM ! it clobbers me . Take yesterday for example, I walked 5 miles without breaking a sweat. Today I can’t walk around the house without gasping for air.
Next week I’m supposed to do a 14 miler —-Yeah Right. No pressure there.

Tomorrow, I have a routine pulmonary test scheduled, and if’ Im not feeling better by then, I will actually have to fake “looking well” , so that they don’t try to admit me to the hospital right there on the spot. Is that weird or what?
