Ever since I got sick with that bronchitis or whatever it was I had in Iowa, my asthma has been awful. Well, my asthma is bad at the best of times, but it has been worse than bad. Which means I break into strangled coughing fits at the worst of times.
I have a feeling when future generations watch the old videos of big family events, such as weddings and funerals, I will be known as That Strange Aunt That Zips Out In The Middle Of The Service With a Red Face And Her Hand To Her Mouth.
I should probably up all my doses and inhalers and all, but I really hate to pump all those meds into my body. Or I should move to Wyoming; that would help a lot.
But yesterday I thought of another solution. I figured out that my major asthma trigger is breathing. So if I quit breathing, I think my asthma would be fine.

"We are trying to locate Durcus Smoker who writes for the Register Guard. We would like to invite her to our group's meeting June 25th to speak."

I love the quote. LOL - If you weren't a Smoker maybe the asthma would clear up. You made my day with that one since I always have problems with my name. Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteThe tears of laughter overtook me again,you hilarious sister-in-law! Hopefully someone in your family knows how to restart the breathing process...or to dial 911!!
ReplyDeleteI have known of people with asthma that quit breathing, and I believe the they never had any more problems! However, I don't advise you to try it!!! Pauline
