hey,
been a little bit of a rough weekend....I could use a little bit of a vent session
first of all, I have had a cold this weekend, not a particularly bad one, but no matter what, I seem to always have a hard time with colds, they always seem to hit me hard, and the last few times I have either gotten bronchitis, or close to it, this time it didnt turn into bronchitis, but it was still acting like it, I ended up taking my singulair and albuterol inhaler for a couple of days from the last time I was sick with bronchitis (the albuterol is not fun to take, uggh) and thank god it worked, but saturday I was so out of breath from just walking a quarter mile to the store and back, it was like I had just run a mile.
I dont have "asthma" but I do get like that when I am sick, does anyone else have a hard time with colds? this is really getting to be a PITA and I am wondering if it has to do with the heart stuff?
and the second part of this is that I am so sick of listening to healthy people complain about the stupid things they do to themselves....let me explain myself...I just took a second job at wendys so I can get some money for school. There is a kid who works there who is 17, he smokes and complains to me all the time that he is out of breath. he told me as I was taking my inhaler that he wishes he had an inhaler. He wishes he hadnt done this to himself. He claims that his life would be so much different if he wasnt a smoker, he would be doing sports, and stuff, yet he brags about smoking dope, and went out and got so drunk and high the other night to the point where he was still puking at 7 pm the next night, he decided to take 9, yes 9 ultram tablets to make himself feel better!
I dont know why, but he decides to come to me, of all people and tell me this stuff. I am 20, working my butt off to pay for college, I chose not to smoke and dont party, yet I have to deal with the stuff I am going and have gone through, and I dont have the choice of "quitting smoking" and there is no "fixing" it. I have had open heart surgery twice, and am looking at at least 1 more. I told him this, but he seemed to not give a crap, minimized it, and blew me off, then told me about his partying experience the next day.
I realize the immaturity factor here, but this drives me nuts, it really isnt fair. and yeah I know, life isnt fair, but still, people can be jerks, I know he isnt trying to rub it in my face, but ppl are stupid, and have no clue sometimes how much something like this can hurt.
anyways, I think I am gonna head to bed, I am having a bunch of PVCs the last day or so, and its probably from being overtired, but thanks for listening

I don't know if the respiratory stuff is because of the heart-lung machine and my lungs just aren't the same since, but I hate that I've gotten sick three times since October with these things.
