Summer has arrived here in the Pacific Northwest! It is so hard to be patient until July 5th, but it is soooo worth it :)
We have had really strange weather this spring, early summer. Our weather changes have been very rapid and quite drastic. With this, my asthma gets really bad. I have been on Prednisone twice in the last 3 months, that's not good. In fact, my diabetic lab, hemaglobin A1c was up at 7.7. We think it is because of the Prednisone, but aren't taking any chances. I have started paying more attention to my carb intake, making sure I'm eating more fruits and veggies. I am walking at least 3 times a week; sometimes more.
I love that I am feeling better right now. I am beginning to see, that the times when I struggle the most are probably times when I can't really breath. Right this second, I'm tapering my Prednisone dose down and the weather is staying stable, so I am breathing. I feel good right now.
I took the girls swimming the other day, and it felt nice to be back in the pool. I can tell it has been a long time since I"ve swam, but just to get into the water and play w/ the kids was great! All in all, I am looking at my life and feeling good about it. Again, we'll see how long it lasts, but I'll ride the wave.
