Breathe in, breathe out...

Last week, I went to a breathing coach, okay, she is much more than that, but that is how I will refer to her.  First off, she's hilarious!  Secondly, it turns out, I have to learn how to breathe all over again....who spends their entire life breathing wrong...oh this girl!

I learned in the two hours I was there that my breathing doctor was "sensitive" to corn, meaning three years without it, and she is doing just fine...she can eat donuts....I want a donut!  I also learned that Moose's Tooth pizza is "epi-pen worthy".  That sounds scary to me!  The pizza, I guess, has a cornbread crust.  It sounds wonderful, but that's something that I will never be able to try.  I don't think there is anything epi pen worthy in this world!  I also learned the reason I am always sick and getting pneumonia.  I am a shallow breather.  I learned this as a child, because deep breaths would make me cough.  Now, I have pecs of steel, but need to learn to breathe deeper.  There is hope that by the end of these appointments I won't need my inhalers anymore!  I hope this is true. 

I was told by this doctor that she can't believe how cheery I am after all I have been going through.  I mean, really, there is nothing I can do about it, and I might as well do it with a smile on my face!

Last night, I found another thing I am allergic to...Hookah.  We went out for Matt's going away party (lucky guy got a job at Apple and is going to Hawaii for a month of training....some people have all the luck!), and ordered a hookah.  Well, I got really drowsy and by the time I got home, my tongue was swollen.  This morning it hurt, all the taste buds at the tip of my tongue have popped up.  YUCK!  I can cross hookah off my list of things I can do...you know not that it's healthy anyway.  However, I did have an awesome time.  It's always a laugh with my friends!

I go back to my breathing coach on Tuesday, hopefully it's all good news!
