I've got Bronchitis and temporary Asthma

I went to the doctor again this morning at 9:15am. I've been coughing since Monday, April 6th.
So I went in to see what's going on and found out my wheezing and coughing is from my lungs tightening. Several viruses cause bronchitis, including the flu. I also found out that bronchitis can occur when you inhale irritating fumes, dusts, chemical solvents and smoke, including tobacco smoke. Tobacco smoke. Now that's interesting since I was exposed to tobacco smoke when I was in Germany. Well isn't that freakin' dandy.

Dr. Owen gave me some antibiotics and an inhaler for my shortness of breath.

It gets worse, Becky and Emily have it too.

Awwwww, you look so sad John! I feel for ya though. I've had a bad cold for the last week and a half and it's moved down into my lungs. Luckily its getting better. I still need to lay off all the Easter candy though.
