Good News…Bad News
Unfortunately, I have severe bronchitis. Although better than pneumonia…it’s still pretty damn bad. When I arrived at the doctor’s office yesterday, he checked my breathing and listened to my cough…and then told me to sit tight a moment as he left the room. When he returned, he was holding a breathing apparatus that measures your lung usage and power…needless to say, my lung capacity is extremely low at the moment. He said that I’m only using 20% of my lung capacity in each lung…that’s not good. So then he left the room again and came back with an oxygen gage to check my levels…umm…50% isn’t good either. He then put me on oxygen for about 15 minutes and told me that I have a pretty severe case of bronchitis and that he was concerned because of my history of pneumonia…yeah, well…me too.
Anyway…he put me on a new drug called Ketec and I hope it works quickly because my chest hurts and I can’t breathe worth a damn!
On a different note… I received an email from my ex’s mom yesterday regarding his niece’s wedding next month. The email “informed me” that J (the niece) would like to have Dora, Corin & Jonah in her wedding. Okay…I don’t have a problem with that…but then I was “informed” that they would “let me know how much the outfits cost” so that I could “take care of it”. Umm…well, I’ve been married a couple of times so I do know proper wedding etiquette…but considering first of all…J never asked Dora personally if she’s like to be in the wedding nor did she bother to call me to ask. I don’t have a problem covering Dora’s dress…but I think that it’s only proper that my ex pays for the other outfits. My ex has stated that he will take care of the little ones’ outfits…which I appreciate. It just irked me a bit about the way all of this came about. However, I suppose that some people just don’t know any better huh?
Well…I suppose that I should get back to work. I’m really behind now that I’ve been off for a week and had to leave early to go to the doctor. I wish that I didn’t even have to come in today…my chest and lungs hurt so friggin’ bad right now.

I’m sorry.
Sending sympathy as I’m working while I should be either.
Sorry you feel so bad Maria . There has not been much forward planning for the wedding has there . I hope you are going to at least to the church to see your children in the wedding party
What a shame, to start out the new year with bronchitis.
I hope the medicine kicks in real soon for your sake. Your life is busy enough for three healthy people with a family and a full time job. Being sick has got to make life miserable right now. ‘Feel better soon!
And you’re right about your ex’s niece…rude!
