I'm glad to hear you're doing better. I'm sure the respiratory thing is hanging on because you have been under so much stress for so long. With the Girls getting ill, your workouts, your classes and just plain work, I'm sure it was your body trying to tell you to slow down a little.
Hang tough, You. You'll make it just fine.
Well... yeah...
I'm not exactly the type to roll up fetal just cause things get a bit annoying. ;-)
Don't worry about me. More lives than a cat and I can teach mules to be stubborn.
