Its not been my best 10(?) days. Caught a head cold that moved to my chest. I thought I was doing ok. I was managing to keep the panic of possibly choking to death at a not too frenetic level until last Thursday's visit to Alta Bates ER. After determining I didn't have pneumonia, was keeping my O2 levels in the 96, 98 range, but had low potassium. Which was treated by drinking about the nastiest fluid I've ever voluntarily consumed. I ended up back home. I have been getting ever so slowly better, but I haven't enjoyed the night spent coughing. Nor the mornings trying to get all this gunk out of my lungs.

I'm still a little sick and want this cold *over with* already.

dbubley's sister has been really great at helping me get my breathing treatments.
