Wheezy No More

By Mike | December 30, 2007

Feeling much better now. Karate class went well yesterday, and at the moment I’m taking a break from a last-ditch workout in hopes of hitting this month’s weight goal tomorrow morning. The burn and wheeze is gone from my chest, and while I’m feeling a bit winded after the first half hour tonight, I’m not sure I’m any more winded than usual.

Now that I’ve gotten over my pneumonia, I found out my aunt has developed it. She’s not in the best of health as is, so they’ve got her hooked up to oxygen in an intensive care unit. We’re told she’s responding to treatment, but it’s a strong demonstration of the difference good health in general can make when an illness hits. I feel fortunate that I’ve managed to get off my ass and do something about my own health this year.

Tomorrow’s a big and busy day. Time to finish this workout and then get some rest.
