all hail the inhaler

susandennisI have felt pretty darned excellent for most of the last few weeks and am very grateful for it. I've been doing the Advair morning and night and the Combivent (the rescue inhaler) once a day - before I swim.
Today I forgot the Combivent. I noticed it first while showering after my swim. I was the heavy breather in the shower.... oh yeah baby. Not bad but enough to think... oops, forgot to suck on that sucker, didn't I.
I decided to let it go and see how the rest of the day went. The rest of the day went fine. I don't feel bad but I do feel a little out of breath. I think I'll take a hit before bed.
I do feel like I have the maintenance of this situation down. And it's not too bad at all. There are maybe a couple of things that I can't do that I could but really I can do all I really want to. If I had to climb the steps from the ground floor to up here (4th floor), I could maybe do it but I'd have to rest for a fair amount of time between flights. Going down the stairs is nothing. I do it most of the time instead of the elevator if my hands are empty.
I go back to the cute doctor two weeks from today. And back to the asshat doctor a month from never. I'm just not going to mention it to cute doctor and just not make an appointment with asshat. If I need a breathing doctor, I'll ask cute doctor to send me to a pulmonologist.
I think cutie pie can take care of what I need for now.
