so most of you know about my horrendous asthma attack in december brought on by no meds, bronchitis, and all around not taking care of myself.
for those of you who dont, ill recap. i have a bad asthma attack, and passed out, intubated, and wasnt supposed to live more than 6 hours...but i did..obviously! haha
so i have recovered, gotten insurance (finally!), have the right meds at hte right dosages, have been going to see the dr, keeping the house clean, making sure i keep jericho clean and using different litter, got air purifiers and cleaners that are ok for my lungs.
well i once again have bronchitis. my boyfriend was sick for a week straight with it, and i felt fine, but when i was hospitalized i felt 100% fine and had no clue i had bronchitis, so i decided to catch it fast this time and see the doctor just so we could nip it in the butt before it started effecting my lungs. fast forward 4 days and i am miserably ill. coughing, fever, congestion. the whole deal. sunday my asthma got bad again and i did what i could to help it, and felt better and went to bed. today i woke up and was struggling, but went into work and i couldnt even clock in until i had done a breathing treatment. thats how bad my asthma was this morning. i couldnt focus, write, type, dial, barely speak. my work made me go to the er and get treatment asap.
its really hard for me to cope with the fact that im doing EVERYTHING right now and yet im STILL getting to a point where its so bad that i have to go to the hospital. im taking precautions and im making sure i take care of myself at any sign of asthma problems and yet im in a bad place again, and its only been 2 months since i last had problems. its just so dang frustrating. i dont know what else i can do and its really starting to get to me. i know that this time was nothing like last time, but i cant keep doing this every other month. im really getting down on myself like maybe there was something else i coulda done or cleaned or taken but my doctor assures me im doing everything right...i really hope i am, and i really pray that this gets better as time goes on.
(sorry for the long post, i just needed to get that out)
