You know you're having a lousy week when...

...the best news of the week is you have inflamed, gooey lungs.

That's the diagnosis I got from the pulmonary function test. According to the test, I'm having trouble exhaling and I'm inhaling "normally."

OTOH, it also showed I have significantly above-average lung capacity (and this should surprise who?), so I may be having not-so-obvious trouble inhaling as well.

I'm now on medication for it, and it is helping the condition. The bad news: The medication is prednisone, and I'm also dealing with its side effects.

Suffice it to say if I'm a castrating b*tch at ConChord, you'll know why.

Prednisone sucks

Note the time on this post.

Note that I should be asleep.

Note that I took two Benadryl caplets at 7pm. Last night they knocked me out. Tonight they did zippo.

I'm not sure what to try next. I don't dare take anything much more because I have to be up in three hours.
