Breathless to feel restless like I did in the old days

[sovay]

This has been an unnecessarily medical week. Everything is stable in the sense that I now have inhalers and spatch has antibiotics and will be seeing an actual factual dentist tomorrow at last, but this was still my fourth morning in a row of getting up very early on little to no sleep and only the first time was it for something fun.

I have watched several movies about which I may or may not write anything, including Moby Dick (1956), Conduct Unbecoming (1975), Where Sinners Meet (1934), and The Damned Don't Cry (1950).

gaudior sent me a card for Halloween:

Is your inhaler supposed to be used with a spacer? (You may have to google this, doctors don't always tell you and neither do pharmacists.) If so, take my advice: A spacer is $50 at the pharmacy, and only $15 off eBay. Even paying for expedited shipping, it's worth it. (You can use a cut open soda bottle as a makeshift spacer if necessary.)

Neither of them is, although I appreciate the double-check. My mother who has serious asthma asked the same thing when I picked them up.

That's good to know that somebody else knew to tell you :)

I hope you're feeling better soon and this isn't a long-term necessity.

Thank you. I don't expect it to be be; it's happened to me once before, that I got a sort of short-term asthma from a respiratory illness, and it cleared up after a couple weeks of regular access to steroid inhalers. I'm hanging on to the albuterol, though. That did exactly what it was supposed to and it was amazing. All of a sudden I could feel air in the bottom of my lungs.
