Well the results of seeing my asthma dr……..he says I have to take a week off of work.   I laugh….and say we better come up with some compromise because I can’t do that.   He now thinks I might have whopping cough, but it is been too long now and it can’t be treated so I will need to wait for it to go away.  Usually lasts about 6 months.   I don’t think I have whopping cough….his other guess is that I have airway damage due to the prolonged coughing.    The airways are so inflamed, etc.   I had chest and sinus x-rays taken today.   I still can’t really talk much either.  

So the deal I made with him…was I would do all my errands for the week and go to the office and get work to do for the next two days.   I will stay home and work from home for the next two days, I will go out onlhy in the morning to take Tom to daycare, though he doesn’t want me even doing that.   I have to take cough syrup with codiene every 4 hours around the clock and neb every 4 hours for two days.   He thinks if he can get my coughing stopped things will improve and my airways will improve.  Then I can go into work for an hour or so Wednesday night…then I have to be home again the rest of the week.    I am also on antibiotics, but he doesn’t think they will help.  The cough syrup with codiene makes me drowsy I hope that stops and I get used  to it.  

Well I am off to neb and hopefully fall asleep for a little bit until I have to take more meds.   I hope I will be well enough to go to church on Christmas.   Hubby and I bought the one Santa present we needed tonight.   I have one more thing to get for Josh’s stocking, but hubby will do that for me.   I am sure I will go stir crazy taking it easy for a week at home….but it is this or end up in the hospital.
