Asthma

So glad for modern meds.  Doctor asked if I smoked, I said I would probably be dead if I did and she said that is right.  WOW!  One more week of prednisone.  The perils of prednisone.  It is a steriod that takes cares of inflammation, banned by professional athletes, but boy does it make you hungry.  Everything looks and tastes good.  The peril is I will have some serious weight loss to contend with in two weeks.  Luckily it is getting nicer and I can hit the trails with my bicycle.  It is so nice to breathe again.  I guess it was a progressive thing over the last few months.  I just need to be careful.  Wearing my respirator at work whenever I use solvents, which is practically all the time.  I do enjoy my job and I am good at it.  Another doctor in three weeks and that will tell the health of my lungs.
