Huge Progress

Yesterday I played an entire soccer game without using my inhaler.  This may not sound all that exciting to you.  Maybe that seems completely normal in your life.  Not for me.  I have never, in my adult life, been able to do something active without my inhaler.  Yes, you read that right, never.  Asthma has been this albatross hanging around my neck, or more accurately, with its hands around my throat, for as long as I can remember.  From the first time I woke up from a dead sleep in an asthma attack, its been a huge part of my life.  Its been terrifying at times, not just for me, but for those who love me.  The very idea that I could play an entire 90 minute soccer game without the benefit of a vaso-dialator was inconceivable to me even 6 weeks ago.  But here we are.  Its happened, and it makes me believe I am on the right path.  There is better life on the other side of all this food nonsense.  And it is worth the effort to get there!
