Happy Monday all! I finally decided I had enough of this cold after 3+ weeks and headed out to the doctor’s this afternoon. The verdict is that I have Bronchitis with a bacterial infection in my lungs which is causing my asthma to be even crazier than it is with most colds. I received a treatment for my asthma and a bunch of different medicines with strict instructions to rest from my doctor or it could turn into pneumonia (freaky!)
I honestly have a whole slew of medicines he sent me home with to help with my cough, to kill the bacteria, to help my asthma and open my lungs, etc.
Sooooo…..as much as I don’t want to slow down, I AM! The treadmill will get a break from me and I am going to try my hardest to not do anything, but, REST.
My eating is still pretty sporadic with a whole lotta soups like this Healthy Chicken Noodle with pea pesto ……
I will be taking tonight and maybe tomorrow night off from blogging to REST! I will be back in action and in my normal routine soon. I am pretty sure it’s resting on the computer, right
Until then, I have no doubt I will be playing google MD and trying to figure out how to get better already.
See you soon!

I had the same illness last month. I had been at work as a nurse, coughing, wheezing and feeling pretty bad…wearing a mask so as not to make my patients sick! Wasn’t doing anyone any favors. The Dr. told me the same thing yours told you, and believe me it was hard to stay home for a week, but I’m so glad I did. Your body needs to heal and rest. Just continue to push fluids, eat chicken soup and tell your husband he needs to become a nurse! Get well!
