I have just recently noticed that I am not coughing anymore. What a relief! Why? Who knows! Maybe the dreaded bronchitis that has been with me for a year has finally retreated. Maybe it is the yoga, which may have opened my lungs with all the deep breathing. I have noticed that I am able to inhale longer than usual. But, the main focus in my daily life is to continue to take precautions against being infected or even exposed to colds or the flu.
Mom and I are so careful when we are out and about in the world. Even at lunch, we wait until after we handle the menus then we use her hand sanitizer and we never touch the salt or pepper shakers or condiments on the table without a napkin. Every time we climb back into my car, the sanitizer is also at the ready.
Yesterday, while waiting for mom's appointment with her eye doctor, an elderly man in a wheelchair was placed behind us. He let out several huge, productive coughs. Mom and I looked at each other and in one movement, we rose and moved to another area in the huge waiting room. I just can't afford to be sick as just one good cold turned into an infection could kick me into lung transplants.
On that happy note, here are the dinner recipes for the week.
