So Disgusted

Ok, pardon me while I whine.  I had just gotten back into the swing of exercising every day, eating right again, and doing everything the right way.  When from out of nowhere a dang respiriatory infection hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday evening.  Yesterday morning, I was FINE, and by 2 I was having trouble breathing, blamed it on allergies.  By 6 my chest was tight and by 9 I was coughing up the #1 indication of infection.  Came home, did my updraft, and by 10, my throat was so sore I could hardly swallow.

Im on my way to the doc in a few, but I just wanted to complain that when I finally get it all figured out and get in a routine, I get sick.  The doc will no doubt put me on steroids that will make me eat like a cow, Lord, does it ever end??

Sorry, Im just upset, will post when I get home from the doc.

Girl...if it wasn't something, I'd think we were dead! (sorry if that was a little morbid...) The day that I don't have to deal with what's ailing me, someone close to me, why I'm so stressed out or something along those lines will be the day I freak out thinking I'm dead resulting in a new catastrophe of my life officially meaning that I must still be living.

I dont want to eat, this heat is horrible, I feel nauseous thinking some food might help, then eat and feel more nauseous, all I want to do is drink cold water!

Looks like we all have crappy days to deal with.  I know everyone does, but I just wanted to whine.  Hey girls, do either of you have any low fat colby I can have w/my whine, LOL.

Doc did what I expected, steroid shot in the butt,  thankfully she didnt send me home on oral ones.  Just some kick butt antibiotics and some cough meds, but no getting hot or exertion for 2 weeks!!! I was like WHAT THE HECK????  Luckily, she is a gastric patient as well, and she understood my frustration, but said the antibiotics would make me really sick, and that I didnt need the exertion till my lungs were back up to par!!!!

And the best part?? She said, get you some live active cultured yogurt, then gave me Diflucan, 3 pills w/3 refills!!!! OH HAPPY DAYS!!!

Sorry to our guys, if that was too much TMI for ya!!!

Hugs,
Going back to bed,

Dang.....if it isn't one thing, it's another!  

Have you gone on your trip for training yet??? Haven't heard.

Hi to Mr Mike, hope he's ok.


Hugs to both of ya

No, I leave on August 19 fly back in the 22.  Cant wait to go in a way, but just hope like heck I feel better.  The doc said yesterday was the top day for ragweed and goldenrod.  Im gonna try to keep working out, and gonna bump my calories down a bit, cuz I was NOT pleased w/the scales at the doctors office.  Gained 10 since February.  That was mu*****entive to get my butt in gear, cut out the breads and pasta, and increase my protein. 

I hated getting on the scales!!!  Never since surgery has it depressed me like that, so I know what to do, now its a matter of being able to do it, due to the infection.  I will make it.

Mike is much better, thanks for asking, he is fighting allergies as well, but mostly back on the mend.  His dad is back to working him to death, but we are just thankful hes able to be worked to death again.

Love you much,
Rhonda D.

and these high ozone days don't help people with respiratory problems, either!

EXACTLY Casey,
Im sitting here doing an updraft as we speak!!!!  I will be so thankful for October and November!!!

Hope you are doing well w/your breathing!!

I hope you get to feeling better quickly.  This is why they call it the "dog days" of summer.  I can't wait for fall either.

The summer is just as hard on me as the winters.  I don't know why I don't move back to California, I never have trouble breathing there. 

I have spent most of summer inside, so hardly any exercising.  And having so much trouble breathing.   Even my poor little rats have been getting resp. illness, one of my boys died yesterday morning, his little feet, mouth, nose and balls were almost black the night before so I gave him xanax to keep him calm.   He had been on xopenex updrafts and oxygen (5 l/pm) for a few weeks.  A few others have been wheezing to.  They feel it as bad as I do. 

Also having a terrible time with eating as well.  I eat a few bites and I am sick to my stomach and feel like I am if I have had to much to eat, even though I only had a few bites. 
This has been all summer.   

I hope you feel better horselady.
