Up my nose with a rubber hose.

Does my new nose wire make a fashion statement?

Or does it clash with my beautiful blue eyes ?

Actually, I was really bummed about having to deal with this thing in my nose and stomach for the next 24 hours. It’s irritating as hell.

Pets are amazing stress reducers

So this is the 2nd to last in a series of “Let’s see what makes Steve tick” tests . Next Monday the UCSF airway research folks are putting together a test to see how my lungs react to prolonged exertion… like marathon walking  ;-)

Actually , Gastric esophageal reflux disease ( GERD) is a fairly common cause and/or trigger for asthma in some people.

Postscript: The results of this test were totally negative. I don’t have GERD.
