[Guest guest]

for starters, I have mentioned before, Fl is like God's waiting room,

just take a number and have a seat.

Then the wildfires came about and Fl was on fire, so it was like hell

on earth.

It is finally raining!!! yea!!!!

Spent THursday night in the ER. I went to bed bath and beyond to

purchase a wedding gift for a friend. What ever candles, potpouri's or

whatever was around, I could not breathe. The asthma got bad

instantaneously. (spelling may be off)

the MDI, did not take effect, I ended up in the ER. And now I am back

on the evil candy. Perhaps without the Xolair, I would have been worse.

I think I made the associates at the store nervous. They wanted to call

an ambulance. I said no, that would have been a $500 cab ride. NO THANK

YOU!!!

I drove, I prob should have called someone but I was 50 miles outside

of where I reside. Friends said later, I should have called.However, I

have learned that most times no one is available so I carry on as if no

one can help. Driving was difficult. I was getting disoriented.

Eventually what happened, I pulled over. A cop pulls up behind me. Oh

joy!

Apparently the hospital was around the corner. I was trying to find it.

He followed me there. That was kind of him.

long story short, I am getting better. But whew! That threw me for a

loop.

For a month now, the asthma has not been right. Since the smoke from

the wild fires, then a darling student of mine spraying perfume in the

classroom and I was out of work for the week, then another kid did it

again when I returned to be vindictive. (That kid was expelled for a

year as per school adinistration)

Anyone who read this, thanks. I vented, all of ya's know it is now

rainig in Fla.

Next week I return home to my family in NY. I Hear the pollen there is

not much better. I hope it is not a roller coaster ride there.

I am still in contact with my asthma dr in NY. I will be getting the

shots from his office. I feel a lot better in his care than some of the

dr's here in Fla. (That's another issue...but I will say this...dr's

need to listen to the patient, no dismiss or discount what the patient

says)

Anyway.....

Have a great day
