Sick

[prosodic]

I had an asthma attack last night. I think it scared Lance and Reece more than it scared me. Reece actually came over and stood on me to make sure I was ok, which certainly didn't help me breathe any better. She had her front paws on my chest and her head was right by my face.

I had to gasp out to Lance that I needed water, and he ran into the kitchen for it.

My inhaler was pretty much useless.

This is the 2nd asthma attack I've had within a week. The other one was at work, and wasn't quite as bad.

I think I need to schedule a doctor appointment for Friday afternoon, since I get off at noon. I need to get to the bottom of all this chest congestion and coughing I've had lately.

So anyway, I had a long night. I kept waking up because I couldn't breathe properly. Now I have to spend all day at work, when any sensible person would call off and get some rest.

But I can't. Because that would put me even further behind. There is too much to do. And it's not going to get done by itself. As with a lot of things in life these days, I just have to suck it up.

Yeah...I can't take deep breath without coughing, which then triggers an asthma attack if I cough too excessively. It sucks.

I hope the doctor can do something to help me.
