Puffers

[speevak]

So after a week and a half of being sick i went to the clinic and it turns out I have athsma right now. I now have 2 puffers, and pills. Eeek.

huh, didn't know Asthma was one of those "right now" things, like headaches and twisted ankles.

yeah, athsma is just a description of symptoms- like having a fever. I think people we associate with "having athsma" suffer from chronic athsma- which is likely not what I will have. But yeah, I was very suprised.

Wow, good thing you went to the clinic! So the 'right now' implies that it's temporary or that you need more tests?

I go back in 10 days. Hoping its just a one time thing- or only triggered by bad colds, it may be triggered by colds in general and humidity etc. So we'll see.

In the winter, I have to take a puff every time I walk.......

You will also notice that if you walk on major streets with lots of cars and dust....and if you do any aerobic exercise....
