Good evening all,

I am not a well person. I haven't been able to shake this crazy cold, and a couple days ago my asthma kicked in big-time. This morning I went to the instant care clinic at the hospital for a breathing treatment; and I'm now on prednisone and antibiotics (in case there's an underlying infection causing all of this.) Plus I am having to use my nebulizer (updraft machine) for the first time in 3 years. The medication I take 365 days a year normally is enough to keep things under control but for some reason the asthma has gone berserk; and now, besides the coughing, wheezing, and fatigue, I am shaking like crazy from all the medications.

Private manchild leaves tomorrow a.m. Hope I'm well enough to see him off at the airport........

ML: Asthma is such a frightening disease - you will be in my thoughts and prayers for a return to normalcy. Those medicines take such a toll - hugs.

Sorry to hear that you cold has affected your asthma.

My husband has been fighting the cold/asthma for about three weeks and, finally, got the doctor to give him some prednisone. Took him about three days on the prednisone to start feeling better. Still doing some coughing, but his regular medication seems to be taking care of what's left of the cold/asthma attack.

Prayers that you will recover soon and will be able to see your favorite Private off tomorrow. Incidentally, he is in my prayers and will be there for the duration.
