Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said,

"No more monkeys, Jumping on the bed."

Really though, I went to the doctor on Monday. I talked to the doctor for a few mins about what had been going on with my breathing, and he decided to do an EKG. The nurse told me to take my shirt and bra off and cover up with a paper the size of a place-mat. That was pretty funny in and of itself. Then, the nurse came in and grabbed my place-mat sized paper and left me laying on the table totally exposed. Not a big deal except my boobs look like tube socks with tennis balls in them. She then sticks little sensor things all over my chest and tells me that it would be worse if I were a man with a hairy chest. She tells me that it would be worse because the glue off of the sensors gets stuck in thier chest hair. Sorry, but I don't think that would be a bit worse then laying there with my mile long boobs flopped out. When the EKG was done the doctor came back and said that everything looked fine with it. He believes that I just have exercise induced asthma. I am wondering if that is true or if it was just an easy answer. He gave me a script for an inhaler. I have to use it 30 mins prior to exercise for a month and see if that helps. I pray that it does. If it doesn't help I will have to get other tests done. He gave me orders for a chest x ray but I just can't afford to get it done right now. If the inhaler doesn't improve things I will have to find the money and get the chest x ray done. Thanks to everyone that was/is praying for me. It means a lot to know that people are sending up prayers for me. I will update how things go with the inhaler.
