SAD story..and scary for me,too....

[warthog]

A couple weeks ago;a guy I grew up with had a grandson die..He was only 12.He was out hunting with his dad,they think he had an asthma attack...A story I read last nite had to do with a rock group that had a tour date Friday nite in Detroit,they found the lead guitarist dead on the tour bus Saturday...Had acute asthma.-Scary part is : I HAVE ASTHMA,TOOMy Dr.told me never-NEVER-go ANYWHERE without your inhaler-what doesnt bother you today could kill you tomorrow,its THAT serious....I had a couple attacks last week-Ive never lost consciousness from an attack,but Ive come close.I have little warning:When my chest starts hurting,thats the sign its gonna be a bad one.ALL YOU THAT HAVE ASTHMA OR BREATHING PROBLEMS:Take it from me:KEEP YOUR INHALER CLOSE BY... Amen.......

the pulmonary embolisms I had gave me little to no oxygen in my lungs.

The depiction they show on billboards of Asthma as being like a fish out of water is very true. Unfortunately, not many know about fish (unless one is into tropical fish, a fisherman, etc.)

Will pray that does not happen to you as it did those others. Call me selfish but I hate losing good friends.
Keep that inhaler handy. I wonder if they make a belt holster for inhalers?

Play it safe and keep it close!

to keep the inhaler very handy....and of course guys like carrying things on their belts...buck knives, flashlights, keyholders so the keys jingle as ya walk and don't have to dig in the pocket for them...or have a key jab you in the leg while seated...etc.

I wonder if any of those holsters used by the police to carry mace/pepper spray would work for an inhaler?

Just thinking.
