Done. Now my day can almost start. I have to sort pills, but I’ll have a breathing treatment first. Otherwise, I’ll forget it.

For some reason, I’m retaining water and that’s not good. Hopefully, the second treatment will help that along a bit. I can do that one again a few hours later, but one I can only take once a day or I’ll get a rash. And of course, the steroid is only once.

I see people here (Sylvia comes to mind) who take those steroid inhalers, but she still can’t breathe. My opinion (for what it’s worth) is that doctors prescribe that because they can, and Big Pharma says they should. I don’t think those particular drugs are helping Sylvia. Other people here are on them but I don’t see them very often.

In other news, the parakeets didn’t show up. I sent her a text at 1530 and told her if she wasn’t on her way to just wait until today. Morning, if possible. She actually responded in a timely manner! So I’ll keep the phone close to me today.

Lots of medicines are used when lifestyle changes would be more effective.

The Offspring have all been Bestirred, but some of them have probably fallen back into somnolence since they moved out of my line of sight. I’ll go stir them up again in a while. There’s work to be done.
