Ugh, knew I had a cold coming on and it hit me full force yesterday. Head was clear, chest very congested, but I felt OK. The cold wind I faced from the parking lot to the building took but breath away, but I felt OK in my office until I started coughing and then couldn't breathe. Pretty frightening to get no air! I knew panicking would make things worse so I sat down, tried to take slow breaths and started getting some air. When I could speak I called Health Partners for an appointment and the nurse they connected me with would not give me one - wanted me to go to the Emergency Room. I argued for awhile, and she checked with a doctor and he said the same thing. They did not want to have to call paramedics to the clinic - at least she was honest.
To make a long story short, it was an interesting day and the right decision. I'm off to work today, taking along my new inhaler. We'll see how long I stay but my desk was a mess yesterday and I hate getting further behind.

Hope you start feeling better soon!
Tis the season for colds and flu..
Sue,
That must have been scary! Enchinacea C can be really effective at helping to build your immune system during the winter. Since your so active, it could really help.

so sorry you have been sick, hope you get to feeling better.....have you ever thought of videoing yourself doing a training class, like you would do with the pups....it would be entertaining and helpful, unless you don't want to give away secrets..maybe you could charge for them??? just a thought.
