Back & Asthma Issues

Well the last month has been a difficult one for me. I have had nothing but problems with my Asthma the past month or so. I was having trouble sleeping as I would wake up not being able to breath so, I would have to get up and use my puffer, which disturbs my sleep. Even walking outside in the cold has affected me too. It's scary when you can't breath. Then I hurt my back trying to lift one of our golden retriever's into the wash bay at the SPCA a few weeks back. I shouldn't have tried to lift her in but, she was resisting and so I thought I could lift her but, I was wrong. I haven't been able to participate in Kung Fu and the one night I did try, I was in so much pain after class I decided to sit out the next few. I did come and watch and took lots of notes.

Well I finally went to the walk in clinic and got a new puffer and a referral for massage therapy which, I will be starting on Saturday so hopefully a few treatments and I will feel better. I am going to try and participate in kung fu and just do a non intensive warm up and class. My Asthma is still an issue so we shall see.

  1. don't give in now! Listen to your body but keep trying. I have heard wonderful things about you and Kung fu.I knew if you took it to heart you would make a fantastic addition to our school and family.

  2. Hi Sifu Shipalesky,

    I won't give up for sure. Oh thanks for the compliments, I feel different now about my kung fu journey. I am doing it for me and no one else but me.
