Wheeze, redux

Well, it's apparently a bit worse than I hoped, but about as bad as I feared. My peak flow meter reading showed me at 70% of my top lung capacity. Which means that my normal breathing (as opposed to the deep breaths I use on the meter) is probably only at about 50%. So yeah, I guess that's why I'm feeling like crap.

The coughing is getting worse, too. I was up most of the night coughing (that hollow echo-y sort that makes your whole chest hurt) and about 1:00 a.m. I moved into the guest bedroom where I hacked in privacy. Even the cat didn't come sleep with me.

But I have a fancy new inhaler to use for 2 weeks to see if it helps to clear things up. Isn't that just the coolest looking thing? Love it. I hope it works fast. I could use a good night's sleep.

I'm trying to decide if I have the energy to walk down to the health center to get my prescription filled...or if I'm going to be a complete wimp and ask the student employee to go take the Rx forms down for me and then pick up the meds on the way home. How sad am I?
