I've got the cleanest air in town!

Air purifiers everywhere!

We've got a HEGA filter in the living/dining room and just got our new Venta Air Washer humidifier/purifier for the bedroom. Also just ordered new cabin air filters for our cars.

After taking it easy all weekend I was feeling great. I've been doing all the right things since seeing the doctor last Wednesday. Garlic twice a day. Lots of Vitamin C. Sitting next to a steam humidifier most of the time. Resting. Getting a little caffeine.

I was feeling so good I started to feel stupid for panicking and seeing a doctor. So I decided to venture out on Monday with Mike to tour the empire (visit our four stores). I'd had a nice easy weight training workout that morning and was feeling great, no chest tightness or coughing at all. Spent all afternoon going from the car (A/C blowing in my face) to outside (110) to A/C in the shop office (72) back outside (110) back to the hot car that had been sitting in the sun (275) to having the A/C blowing at me again, over and over and over again. By 5 o'clock I'd had it. Cough? Back. That feeling of someone sitting on my chest? Back. Crap!

Yesterday was Pilates, which always makes me feel great. Even worked up a nice little sweat. And today I'm taking off. We're heading down to the Strip later to do some shopping for Mike at the Fashion Show Mall, so hopefully the second hand smoke won't be too bad. The air quality down by the Strip is never great, though, because of all the traffic. So, we'll see how it goes.

Follow up doctor's visit is tomorrow morning. She said if my xray and blood work come back clean (which I'm confident they will) that she'd run the exercise induced asthma test. Oh yeah, and maybe get an ultrasound of my heart...no, don't think I'll be paying for that... doctors, jesus...
