My situation never got as bad as yours but I have been struggling with a host of chronic health conditions for years. And I constantly put myself in situations where I had 50-hour workweeks, full-time classes, etc. - and never got better. Iw as afraid to call in because I didn't want to lose my job. Self-fulfilling prophecy because I just got sicker and was pretty worthless at work.<BR/><BR/>I'm learning that perfection is not only uneccesary but some times dangerous.

I forgot it last Sat on my long run and should have gone back to get it but stubborn ass I didn't so I ended up wheezing and gimping my way in the last mile. Dumb@$$ BONK BONK (that's me whacking self in head)! I did take an antihistamine before run Sat morning though because I read a lot of asthmatics when breathing in cold air especially when exercising in cold weather release histamine cause of the cold air. It really seemed to help as I didn't start wheezing til mile 5 when it would normally have started up almost immediately. Hope you're better soon.

How do I know? Because I'm a recovering workaholic myself. Although I was never admitted to a hospital, I worked at one PT (one of 3 jobs I held in college). When they gave me their standard physical, they nearly admitted me for severe anemia. I had a terrible diet, slept little and ignored many signs that were telling me to take better care of myself. One time after a head-on car crash where I'd sustained a concussion, as it would turn out, I refused to go the hospital and instead went to school to study. What an idiot!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your story with us and hope you are better soon.

I was standing in line, in tears at the Space Mountain ride at Disneyland with a 103 fever and full on Broncitis and asthma but wouldn't give up my kids oppertunity to enjoy disneyland so I endured... I also crashed and burned, not quite as harshly as you unfortunately did but pretty darn bad. <BR/><BR/>We all need to have perspective... we juggle too much. We are afraid of letting anybody else down. But truthfully? We are letting ourselves, our bodies, our families down by being the martyr. Not such a good thing. <BR/><BR/>You are an inspiration, to use this experience and teach others taht it is not only dangerous but that you are a single person who cannot do it all and sick time is called sick time for a reason. Time to get better.<BR/><BR/>Hope you feel better soon... I guess you won't be running that race with me next year but I'll be thinking of you and maybe see you at the CIM.Tina Mickelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13208433546382877491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643429007621218084.post-37911689857230130842008-10-18T19:40:00.000-07:002008-10-18T19:40:00.000-07:00WOW-that is really a tough time you went through.....WOW-that is really a tough time you went through..being sick that long and hospital and all..geez-so glad you pulled out and are here!
