Today’s class on VC and FVC test with electronic portable spirometer ✅

I did a really stupid thing. Just so dumb I feel like an idiot and want to go knock some sense into myself for being so stupid. . I have asthma, it’s common and annoying but it’s a chronic illness that requires proper management and just not being an idiot about it. . I’ve been wheezing and just barely managing with my rescue inhalers and surface fire-fighting type arsenal that I have on hand. . But coming home from the retreat, I knew I really needed to do something about it. I’d put off and put off and put off my appointment with my doctor for no other dumb reason other than I was just too busy to dedicate the time I knew I needed to dedicate to take care of it. . Ella Grace needs me. My job needs me. I have so many other things I’d rather do than sit at the hospital so I put it off and put it off and put it off, waiting for that magical unicorn time instead of making time for it. . Ironic if you know what I teach but yet, somehow, this didn’t feel like self-care. This felt like something on my to-do list that didn’t feel that important next to a date night or mama time or dancing and twirling in our tutus laughing and giggling with teeny tiny. . So I waited. . And as soon as I blew into the spirometer I knew I was in trouble. I measured less than half of what my lung capacity should read. The doctor didn’t even need to listen with a stethoscope to know how I was doing. . The dumbest part of course was after a very long lecture on knowing better than to leave a year between your appointments and having two kinds of nebulizers and an array of medication to reign all the damage back in, it was walking out of the treatment room, feeling amazing for the first time in the longest time. . I had felt so compromised and shitty for so long it was my new normal and I didn’t even realize how bad it was because I was so used to it. . If I could only tell you of the amount of frustration and disappointment I felt with myself. I really did know better. I just...didn’t listen to it. . So mama, if you’ve been waiting for a sign, here’s your sign. . Go take care of the thing you’ve been meaning to take care of. Don’t put it off any longer. . This, this is important too.
