Interesting...

So the last couple of weeks pneumonia has been wandering around our building at work and I'm high risk because of my asthma. I'm a bit paranoid so I've been trying to be careful. I've been coughing a lot more and there is a bit of a wheeze at the end of each cough, though, but it's not consistent and, for the most part, I feel fine. My back has been being difficult and painful also. I went to the chiropractor and the massage therapist and they'd like to see me several more times but I can't afford the co-pay right now. Yesterday, I started having sharp pain under my shoulder blade and down my arm and a little pain in my rib cage where my bra sits. I figure I probably just have ribs out and muscles tweaked again. However, I had my mom listen to my lungs this afternoon. It went something like this:

Mom: "Breathe in.........No, a deep breath."
Me: "That is as deep as I can breathe."
Mom: "Again........ Are you breathing through your nose or your mouth"
Me: "My mouth"
Mom: "Breathe deeper!"
Me: "I can't!"
Mom: "Well, you aren't.... I'm not... You have no lung sounds in the lower part of your lungs"



Uh oh! What does that mean? I guess I need to go to the doctor. At the very least my asthma is being difficult.
