Carribean Consumption Cure

In the 19th century, people with respiratory ailments went to the Swiss Alps or the sea shore in hopes for a cure.  Although most of my coughing and wheezing has faded away, my bronchial reactivity is not gone completely.  So I’m in Aruba for a week with my wife.

I have to admit that this on-and-off feeling that a hippo is sitting on my chest is really getting to be a drag.  But I saw my doctor on Thursday and he said that this is a perfectly normal part of recovery from acute bronchitis.

    I had a bout of pneumonia in December. Being the typical man, I waited about two weeks into it before my girlfriend dragged me to the emergency room when I was a bit blueish. We are now in August, and I am still having to take Advair and Albuterol because my bronchi are still all worked up.

    You need Vitamin C … make sure your rum drinks have lots of citrus.
