For the record...and anyone who truly knows me can verify that I am a board certified, physician approved, card carrying, badge wearing, secret hand shaking having non breather. This isn't a role a play on tv, we are not a part of a bad reality series and no that nebulizer is not for dramatic effect.
On a good day my lung capacity is in the yellow zone...and I mean, that's when I'm feeling good. I don't remember the last time I tested in the green zone. My asthma is environmentally, allergy, stress and exercise induced. You know what that means...I am not as prone to have an asthma attack when I'm in a relaxed environment that has loy humidity, no smog, no pollen (plant life) where I'm not doing anything.
Despite this, I do not force my lung induced bubble on the rest of the world. Not because I'm kind becaue the reality is that most people wouldn't survive 10mins following the restrictions I'm supposed to follow or adjusting to diminished breathing while maintaining a normal life style.
I don't do it because I don't want it done to me... for the life of me! I cannot understand if we are not on the elevator at the same time why I have to taste you cologne or perfume, or why you think its a good idea to spray enough lysol to disinfect a small village in Africa (and by small, I mean large), or what possessed me (yes me) to leave my windows open in the spring or why I have to get a contact high from waking past you right after I get off the treadmill... I'm just saying...Can I Live! And enjoy my post-workout glow :-)
