Went to pulmonologist and he didn't even address or acknowledge me having asthma. Took chest x-ray......nothing. Took a few different types of breathing tests......nothing. He says I'm suffering from sleep deprivation, possibly sleep apnia?, he prescribed something for heartburn? (he thinks acid-reflux is contributing to my cough) and prescribed a stronger nasal spray/decongestant for the post-nasal drip (also a contributing factor for the cough)

 WHAT?!?!?!?!?!

Sleep deprivation........DUH!!!!! Three little boys under the age of five!!!! heartburn??!! I'll take a TUMS thank you.....NOT a $30 prescription!!! HOW ABOUT THE COUGHING NON-STOP AFTER I RUN OR EVEN JUST ON A DAILY BASIS FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS SINCE I'VE RAMPED UP TRAINING/MILES FOR THE MARATHON!!!!!???????? What a joke. I started taking the new nasal spray..... so far, so good I guess.....too early to tell. I also got my family doctor to prescribe Albuterol inhaler; so far, so good......too early to tell. Didn't run cause I just plain didn't want to! That will give my legs another day to rest so I'm okay with the rest.

Was supposed to wake up early....didn't happen. Wife has had some cramping and discomfort associated with this latest pregnancy so neither of us slept well. Yes, we're preggers, but didn't tell anyone and for good reason.....today she miscarried. Got off work to go to doctor's; off early to help with boys; she is very sad. Had to come back to work after hours.....so, as a result of today's events, running suffers! Oh well! I will be blessed for being a good daddy and husband right? :)
