I was awake again all night last night coughing, wheezing, and sneezing, aarrgghh!!! So, I went to the Doctor today, waited an hour and a half to see him, and he checked me over, and gave me a (breathing treatment) and put me on antibiotics, and told me to use my inhaler, too. He told me I had another bad respiratory infection, with asthma and Bronchitis. So, He told me to give myself (breathing treatments) at home with the Nebulizer, 3 times a day, take the antibiotics, take the inhaler, use Ibuprofen for fever, and try to rest and drink plenty of liquids. I hate getting these stupid respiratory infections, but I do get them, once in a while because I have asthma and allergies.
I hope this stuff helps fast, I feel like crud, the (breathing treatments) help good for a short while, now- I'm just waiting for those antibiotics to kick in. I'm going to stay home a few days to get better.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!

I have coughed, sneezed, wheezed, and have a fever. I have not slept in the past 2 nights , because of coughing, sneezing, and wheezing. It started out as allergies or a cold, then my asthma started acting up, and I haven't been able to breath, I have been using my Combivent inhaler, taking Ibuprofen for the fever, and using cough drops for coughing, I feel like I have been beat with a ball bat, my ribs are so sore from coughing, my nose is sore from blowing it, and my eyes are swollen and very puffy.
I am going to the doctor today, I can't stand this and going to work, too. So, I'm off to see the doc. and get some relief, I think it has turned into a chest infection, now. That's what it feels like, and that it what usually happens when I get a cold or allergies that get my asthma messed up bad, where I can't breath.
I'm going to bed now, we'll see if I can sleep any.

Hope you all have a great Thursday!!!

What are your top five break-up songs?
Submitted by gt.

Here are my top 5 break-up songs!!!

BIBLE MEDITATION:
"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." James 1:22

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Several years ago, the investment firm of E. F. Hutton had a slogan, "When E. F. Hutton talks, everyone listens." If only people had this respect and reverence for God and His Word! That is the kind of ear we ought to have for the matchless Word of the living God. If you do not incline your ear, you might miss something! It has been said that God will not only hold us accountable for what we hear but also for what we would have heard if we had listened.

ACTION POINT:
Do you take notes when your pastor teaches? Maybe it's time you started. It's a great tool for those teachable moments during the week with your friends and family.

Have a blessed day everyone!!!

What is your deepest, darkest fear?
Submitted by [Susan].

My biggest fear in the world or in my life is: that something bad might happen to my daughter, Jenni. If anything bad happened to her, I don't think I could handle it. I love her so much, we are so close, and she is my only child. I think about her safety day and night, I know she is grown, and can take care of herself,
but, I worry over things that I think a lot of mothers do, what if she is in a car accident, what if some nut attacks her, what if she is in a plane crash, etc. I would totally lose my mind if she got injured or worse. That is my biggest and deepest fear.
