It’s supposed to be day 11 sober. But I am on my third glass of wine tonight. I’m supposed to leave for work at 6am…
Admittedly this is only my 2nd time drinking since I promised Ian to curb my behaviour. In a sense I have? We didn’t lay goal foundations .. I will have to tell him when he comes on the weekend to visit. Honesty is supposed to be a thing about overcoming addiction.
The spawn have been getting themselves to school of a morning. And it’s been a bit of a success, even if Storey is a bitch she still gets to school on time and has a pretty good day. Home in the morning, school, and home in the afternoon are all separate worlds requiring different attitudes it would seem.
But I’m relieved and proud at once.
I saw a patient today who is on an inhaler for asthma, but it’s the type you have to breath in deeply to inhale the powder. And this guy can’t inhale very fast at all. So derp his treatment isn’t working of course. He cant breathe in fast enough to get the medication into his airways. All I can do is make a note.
Last week I had a patient come in for a test where we aggravate the airways to confirm asthma in individuals with inconclusive results on a regular test.
This lady had 100% conclusive asthmatic results on her regular test, but her Dr insisted she have this provocation test anyway.
Needless to say she had one dose of the provocation drug and her breathing plummeted by 50%.
I am just gobsmacked. I think her Dr is writing a paper on her or has some ulterior money making motive for putting her through that.
People are dumb.
