Asthma.....really?

I know it has been a long time, but Kamryn got sick and then apparently me. Oh yeah and between all that I am trying to get ready for my parent's birthday party here on Saturday and did any of you realize Christmas is next week. Well, Kamryn ended up with another UTI. Really, I thought this is why we were giving her preventive medicine every night. This is going on my list of questions for her specialist next week. Then I start to get sick this weekend. The sneezing and the coughing started getting bad, but I live in South Texas. The weather changes hourly and that does a number on the allergies. I know this and I have adapted to this. When you go to the doctor they always say the same thing, it is a virus and it needs to run its course--and I pay money for them to tell me this. So, I normally don't go to the doctor unless there is a fever and green stuff--this will normally mean an infection and something can be given. So, no fever no green--work as usual (you all have meant my father right). Except Tuesday threw a wrench into my theory. I woke up with such a bad headache I got up took some cold medicine with headache pain and laid back down for a little while. Headache would not go away, I would get up and brush my teeth--could stand up any longer and had to lay down again. After about the third time trying to get up and get ready for work, decided was not going to happen. Made the appropriate calls and waited for Zayne to come home so I could find a doctor. Side note: do not like my primary anymore--was not happy the last 2 times I went and something about the home page advertising specials on botox really turned me off. Not really sure what happened to the place, but does not make me feel good about it. So we found a local urgent care place and off we went. Didn't have to wait too long and back I went (alone--they made Zayne wait in the lobby). The doctor listened to my lungs and started asking me if I smoked or was ever diagnosed with asthma. I am started to freak now and begin texting Zayne--who was just full of funny comments. They had me take some test breathing through tube and apparently I am only breathing at 13--not good, doc said sever blockage. So, they gave me a breathing treatment and checked again, this time I am up to a 30. The doc said he would like me to be a 50, but I was okay enough to go home with lots of medicine. So, apparently I have seasonal asthma and I am now the proud owner of my own inhaler--which I think has speed in it because I am jittery with all this energy after inhaling. I know asthma is not some life threatening ailment--but it means I have a box to check on medical history. The funny part is now Zayne blames another one my Kyle's and Kamryn's ailments on me. Kyle was diagnosed with an asthma a few years ago and Kamryn has wheezing problems sometimes--so now these are my fault (in case anyone has forgotten, Zayne is perfect). So, now we are all on our way to getting better and I can get ready for all of our fun holiday festivities. In case I don't have a chance to get back on in the next week I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Hopefully the holidays are good and safe for everyone!!!!!!!!
