sick day

[librarygrrl]

I am just now getting around to feeling sorry for myself for being sick.  I called in this morning, then called the pediatrician for R whose wheezing was so bad last night that we were afraid to put her in her room by herself.  After two albuterol treatments, the pediatrician decided that we could go home but we have to go back in tomorrow morning

Get well soon.

Don't think you can catch asthma...

actually, you kind of can. You can get a virus called RSV, or another one whose name I forget, that can damage your lungs enough to give you asthma. Or you can get the same thing from viral pneumonia, like I did 10 years ago and then wham! you have asthma!...or it could have been all the cigarettes and pot. But no, it wasn't. It was the pneumonia I picked up at a youth hostel. Don't ever sleep at a youth hostel, friend, let me tell you.

I never sleep at youth hostels. I get into a top bunk, go into a "crouch" position and start humming... louder and louder... That's my "thing".
