5th time’s a charm.

Infiltrate this, suckers.
Infiltrate this, suckers.

Jackpot!
Jackpot! The forearm is next.

Since Monday at 7:00 p.m., I’ve had five tubes inserted in my right arm. For those doing the math, my college dropout figurin’ averages that at one every 12 hours. My left arm is all, “HA! Right arm, you are sooo owned, sucker,” and then my right arm is all, “Pshaw … you’re just … jealous … so … weak.” I am too exhausted to write and laugh about what happened Monday, yet. Lung scan yesterday. Echocardiogram at 3:15. Peaking at 200 (57%) up from 150 yesterday (50%). So tired.

    [...] Some of you may remember that I have had asthma the majority of my life.

I cannot walk through a parking garage without the possibility of a subsequent cough or sneeze that might set off an attack that will land me in the emergency room. Asthma is big. It is a pain. And it is scary. [...]

    [...] Dawne, Meadow, Justin, the kids, and I have made a tradition of attending the Utah Lung Association’s Asthma Walk every year; 2007 was our third. Asthma has almost always been a big part of my life, so I feel like it’s a simple enough way for me to give back to a worthy and personal cause to get up early on a Saturday morning and jaunt around Sugar House Park to raise funds. Now, we don’t particularly “raise” many “funds,” as it were, but I’m always willing to purchase a $5 t-shirt and clap when someone says something inspiring. I give back in my own way, people. [...]
