I saw your tweet earlier and had no idea it was this bad! Having once had asthma like symptoms (for who knows what reason???) I totally feel for you. Sorry you had to go through this. Glad you are on the mend... and call someone for a little help next time ;) Oh my gosh! I saw your tweet earlier and had no idea it was this bad!

I just got over the flu myself (and being pregnant for twins at the same time did NOT help... I thought I was going to cough a baby out every half a second), and I felt like I was dying in the middle of it... but at least I don't have asthma! I can't imagine that added to everything else. I'm glad we're both feeling better! I rarely comment on your blog, but I just had to after reading this post.

I was sooo thinking of you this week as I used a firm voice and said.. i am sorry I have to insist that.... more than once. You know tho.. if it was one of our kids we would absolutely push, insist, beg and plead for assistance. We would never make them wait. I felt horribly bad pushing in front of a woman with a bad cold. Particularly when I could see how miserable the aircon was making her but .. it was a cold and it will pass. I was waiting to be told if I had a stroke and was about to have another one. I get to go first. The docs can't fix most pain/ills straight away anyway - yours they could get to work on sooner. I say be a lil more assertive - even if you are a not a screaming fishwife. Hope Jeff had fun. Good on you for getting through it. Isn’t it hard to ask for help and be pushy.

That must have been a horror four days, and that with the kids in tow and Jeff being away. Why do these things always happen just when our husbands are away?? Who is punishing us, and for what? GRRRR Our son goes through what you went through with the asthma, and yes, thank god for prednisone. I hope you recover very very soon xx Oh my god, Tara, I feel so sorry for you.
