Taking my mom out to my niece's place mid-October in Richmond, VA. We are driving and will be crossing over the Blue Ridge. There is hope that I'll be able to meet up with some of you while I'm out there.

Off to the office. Later all.

Speaking of all the medicine stuff.... I have been having breathing issues. I've had a rescue inhaler for the last 15 or so years. Every doctor says no asthma.. just a sensitive airway. Well in the last couple of years, I don't go anywhere without my inhaler... I used to never carry it and only had issues when I was sick. Now I carry it everywhere, and I have inconsistent, periodic issues with my breathing. I spent the last 6 weeks essentially gasping for air... I was really struggling in this heat... So I went to my primary doc who said 'ah it's just your allergies' and told me again that the pulmonary function tests she gave me do not indicate asthma. I have been disagreeing with her since she did that test 2 years ago... So I pushed hard at this appointment telling her I wanted an answer. She said well if you insist (YES I DO!) and sent me to an allergist.

Off to the Allergy specialist I go... I got tested for allergies and did another pulmonary test. Well I'll be damned... guess who got diagnosed with asthma yesterday! YEP! ME! He showed me on the test exactly what showed the asthma etc. My primary doc had said that the asthma maintenance meds wouldn't do me any good... well I now have a script for those.... and I now will be looking for a new primary care doctor. She refused to re-do the breathing test... she sent me to an allergist just to shut me up basically...

So I have some pretty severe allergies and asthma... Is it sick that I am excited that I now have a diagnosis and that a doctor listened to me??

Not sick at all!! I think you should send a letter to your old doc and tell her what an idiot she is!!!! glad you finally have an answer and can take the proper meds now.

*sigh* I wish I was too. I'm actually kind of hoping we do get sent to Corpus Cristi. At least I'll get to see the ocean even if it isn't the Oregon one.

awwww love it!!!


Morning all! I went out and took a couple pics this morning. Will share in a bit.

Mornin, Eli had a big trip to a water park with camp today...we missed the wrassin frassin bus cause momma didn't read the slip of paper correctly.

Interestingly enough he was just fine with it and went off to his Nana's for the day.

I am feeding a friends cats while they are away next week, I went over to get all the info and such yesterday. These are the COOLEST cats I've ever met. One of them ran up to me and begged like a dog, the other wrapped his paws around my hand and made me scratch his cheeks! They are so sweet, I am looking forward to hanging with them and I am going to try to get some pics for their skin parents.

They got them as 3 year old siblings from a local rescue that had them from kittens. I've never seen friendlier cats in my life.
