Haters..... Part. 2

Here is Part 2 of my "Haters" mini series....

Chronic Bronchitis

Ahhhh, good ole bronchitis. This is the "hater" everyone knows about. This one is associated with me more than anything. Ive been dealing with this mofo for my entire life. It was worse when I was younger. Every other day/night I would be on the nebulizer, breathing albuterol through this mask, looking like a cancer patient. From what I know, it was passed down to me by my pops. He had it mildly when he was a kid, but he got over it quicker than I did. One thing you have to consider also is that he used to smoke cigarettes since he was 18 or 19 (he recently stopped, yay!). When I get these attacks, I literally feel like a fish out of water. I take constant short breaths, my lungs feel like a gorilla is gripping them, I get tired REALLY quickly, and my overall mobility just lessens. Now, when I get treated on the nebulizer, that's where the really scary parts happen. Why scary, you ask? Well, I don't know if its only me, but albuterol makes my heart pace faster than usual. After about 10 minutes of being on the nebulizer, I feel like i just finish run a mile. My heartbeat is so high, but no thigh enough to cause alarm. Also, its works as a kind of sleeping treatment. When I go on the nebulizer at night, before I go to bed, it makes me extremely sleepy. Sleepy to the point where I'll fall asleep with the mask still on and the nebulizer still running. Now as a kid, of course this scared the shit out of me, but as I got older my parents explained it to me and I found out more about it.

Bronchitis is another reason why I couldn't really participate is sports I wanted in school and some time at home with friends. I would get tired really quickly, run slow and not perform well at all. Some say that's its a good thing that I have it because I cant smoke cigarettes or weed and etc. Yea, that's a good way to look at it...BUT, you have to consider all the GOOD things that I CANT do. *sigh* I don't know, I guess I'll just have to live with it and see how it turns out. The only good news is that its not as bad as it was about 1 or 2 years ago, where I'd be on the nebulizer about every night. Besides two weeks ago, I haven't been on it since the start of this year....*fist pump*

Btw, Ren and The Nebulizers coming soon...;)

Haters..... Part. 1

No, this isn't about the haters that you're thinking of. These are haters that are hard to get rid of. These haters have hated on me since childhood, and some since birth. If you haven't guessed already, these haters aren't actually people. They are actually my ailments. What are these ailments you ask? Well, if you know me well, you know that I suffer from chronic bronchitis and severe scoliosis. I got this idea from friend of mine. We were talking about haters, and how we should make a blog about them. I told her that I don't have any haters. I told her previously about my ailments. She said that they are, in essence, haters. I thought about it, and said “hey that makes perfect sense.” A hater is someone or something that tries to prevent you from reaching certain goals or just doing regular everyday things. That's exactly what my ailments are. They have prevented me from doing so many things in my life. People say that I should just overcome them, but trust me it’s not that easy.



Scoliosis

This has annoyed or "hated" me ALOT. If I recall correctly, it was about 6th grade when it first started. I was trying to play optimist football. When I went to get a physical, the doctor diagnosed me with minor scoliosis. I already started thinking that I won't be able to play. But, since it was minor, I was okay to play. Fast forward to high school, it’s the summer before 11th grade. I'm trying out for football at the quarter back position. Just before that, I went to the University of Miami football camp, and I needed a doctor’s approval for that! And it was non-contact! That just shows how bad my back is. Now, things didn't really work out for me at quarterback, so I got moved. This didn't make me quit. All I did was switch positions. Now, I switch and all is well.....at least that's what I thought. Of course, like any high school sport, I had to get a physical. When I got my physical, I also received devastating news. The doc basically told me that if I take one bad hit to the back...l l...I would be DONE. He stressed that point a lot, and it scared me to death. So, due to that, I had to quit. Who knows, I could be playing quarterback for some college right now. Who knows what could have happened! Not only did it prevent me playing sports, but it nags me at my job. I work at Auto Zone, and there is always times when i have to do heavy lifting. One day, I tried to life two huge batteries, and my back damn near gave out on me. I missed a week of work because of this. In this day and age, I can use many hours as I can get. That week didn't really do my paycheck any good.


Thanks to my scoliosis, I had to throw away a dream.
