If any of you hang around me long enough you are going to know that I have problems with allergies and sometimes asthma. Today I went to get that checked out by the doctor and it looks like I was mostly right about everything. My lung capabilities suck! It must be all of the second hand smoke from restaurants. I did a breathing test (not because I was pulled over for drunk driving) and I did not do too well. I had 64% at the lowest part of my lungs. Most people, my age/my health, have 100% all of the way through. I took an inhaler and that increased my breathing capability by 8% at the best. Now I am going to have to use one of those things before I exercise or mow grass, or if I have trouble breathing for any other reason. The best thing about it is that I am going to have to get back on allergy shots. Yeah, I took those when I was a kid and then I "grew" out of them. Now I am going to get back on it.
So the coolest thing about all of this was that I had to take this skin test for allergies. They pricked me with a needle 66 times in my arms. (Kristen would not have done that!) Of the 66 tested I was allergic to almost 40 of them. I am VERY allergic to all grasses. Those "reactions" are still showing on my arm, 3 hours after the prick. I wanted to take a picture for you guys but I did not have a camera on me. Otherwise I would be showing you like a video of the pricks or something good like that.
Just thought that you might want to know my weaknesses.
i had no idea. sorry you have so many allergies i know how much you love to be outside. oh well i guess this gives you reason to stay inside and study/watch movies.
ReplyDeleteyeah...me stay inside! that is just as funny as me studying.
ReplyDeletehow is your semester going, by the way?
ReplyDeletei don't see this keeping you from enjoying the outdoors. I am sorry you have to deal with it though :-(
ReplyDeleteby th way, I have no desire to see your arm pricked with several needles, so I am glad you don't have a camera.
Dude your friends are saps. Pick on the kid. He wants to be a manly man but in fact he is a manly women that cannot hack it in the outdoors. I think he should stay inside and become a computer geak. Oh what am i saying.
ReplyDeleteComputer "geaks" are cool.
ReplyDeleteok, so i have very bad news. I HAVE TO GET ONE OF THOSE ALLERGY SKIN TEST THINGS NEXT THURSDAY. I ill need some serious drugs before they are going near me with 66 needles. Do anyone have any valium i can buy off them?
ReplyDeleteNO WAY! i cannot believe that you are going to get allergy tested. the same person who wanted to quit grad school to not get a shot!
ReplyDeletegirly man!!!
