Doing even better today, thanks. :) Very little wheezing (comparitively, anyways) and my head is much less stuffy. I do not have to stuff Kleenex up my nose to stop it from running! Yaaaaay!
It often astounds me how often so many people take breathing properly for granted. To not have to concentrate on drawing air in and out is something precious, and I know I take it for granted too, when I'm in good health. But it's absolutely terrifying when you just CAN'T do it properly, absolutely. I carry my inhaler with me 24/7 for that reason, too.
The fact that both my parents smoke never did help my lungs, either. :P
Glad that you were able to grow out of yours, for the most part. Mine's gotten a little more mild since I stopped living with the two chimneys, but I now have very little tolerance to any smoke. I think I like it better, this way. :)
