Told you I was sick…
I finally caved and went to the doctor for my nagging cough. They had me do an airflow test. In that test you blow into a tube and it tells them how much air you’re moving. Apparently I scored pretty low. She had me do it again and same thing. Of course, doing the test threw me into coughing fits. They next did a blood oxygen test and that was also a bit low. After listening to my chest the doc said I have asthma brought on by an infection. Oh Boy! He hooked me up with some sample antibiotics he had in his closet-o-goodies to save me money and gave me a script for an inhaler.
I picked up the inhaler at Walgreens and took a couple hits off it like I was told and, wow, I could breathe again. Amazing. It also gave me a decent buzz. If this lack of air thing is how it feels to be asthmatic I’m glad I’m not. It sucks getting winded walking to the mailbox.
