30 Days!

So yesterday I went to Houma for a visit with my pulmonologist and an infusion at the hospital. It seems that many xoliar patients that have been doing well over the past year are suddenly having trouble since the hurricane boys Ike and Gustav visited. My doctor seems to feel that November may be just as bad as October has been - yea :( and basically said I need to "Stay home or leave town!" He wanted to give me an excuse to be off work for 30 days, but I have several things coming up that I need to get done and it would only mean I would have way too much to do in December. We also have Robbye's wedding November 15 in New Orleans. I told him that we are going to Florida for Thanksgiving week, so I just need to get through the next three weeks at work. He wrote a light duty excuse until December 1. So now I just have to follow the rules such as no stairs, stay inside, eat right, drink water, take my meds (he added some and switched when I take some), take breathing treatments, no heavy lifting (which is a part of my job believe it or not), rest often (I am good at that), and be a good little asthmatic until things get better! Typically December is not a bad month for me, so here's to the next 30 days of getting closer each day to being back to normal (or what is normal to me at least!)
