Sexy Fruitz #1

hello.
 
Am I the last person in the world to have a blog? If so, I'm sorry but I'm a bit slow. feh.
 
Today started with a scare. Well, actually yesterday - Richard (my S.O.) had a particularly bad asthma attack. But the prob was both his inhalers were almost empty. He tired one then other, trying to suck something - anything from that piece of plastic for some much needed respite.
 
Needless to say it was the middle of the night so no clinics were open. We thought he'd be okay after a night's sleep but I woke up more than once in the middle of the night seeing him sitting up, trying to control his breathing. He said it was like weights on his lungs and every breath he had to haul his lungs up with tremendous effort.
 
This morning I skipped work (shock horror) and took him to the hospital. Have you noticed when all you need is a prescription and they make you fill 101 different types of registration forms and you see like 3 different nurses to finally see the Doctor who basically hems and haws and says "Hmm. Well I'll get you that prescription" ...all the while Richard is trying not to go blue in the face due to lack of oxygen?
 
Luckily I found out where there was a 24 hour pharmacy in the next town so we were able to get his stuff and leave. And where do we go afterwards? Golden Griddle! as you would after spending hours in a hospital. Buffet morning breakfast no less! moohahahar our arteries have no hope now!
