    Albuterol is my "rescue" inhaler. I do Advaier (fluticasone/salmeter)
    2 "puffs" per usage, twice a daay. It has helped me considerably since
    I now seldom need to pick up the "rescue" guy.

    i started with Advair back in 2001; it was a miracle worker for me. Between that and a really good pulmonology doctor in HI, my once out of control asthma got under control. But, like all things, needs change so this past August I was put on Trelegy, one puff every morning. It took
    a while, but now seems to be working quite well (except for the nasty taste). I'll be seeing the pulmonology doctor in Raleigh on Thursday,
    get the results of the CT scan I had at the beginning of the month.

    I started on the Advair Discus that required you to rinse your mouth
    after each use Morning and evening. My housemate, Dennis, uses another
    similar product then he gargles. When I hear him sounding like Dame
    Nellie Melba tuning up for an operatic role I know he's taken pne of
    his two daily doses.

    Memorial lets one order as much or as little as wished. Thursday
    evening I opted for a nice chicken salad in wheat bread and a bowl of Jewish Penecillin.

    Sounds good to me.

    This last trip I had something I've never tried before - but6, which I will certainly seek out in the "real world" .... cod almondine.

    It would probably work well with flounder too; that's our fish of
    choice for something like that. Salmon would be a bit too strongly flavored on its own, overpowering the other flavors, IMO.

    Get no argument from me on that. I've got a good fishmonger here and use
    their reciipes/advice and seafood for many a happy meal.

    Just came home from a couple of days in hospital after doing a face
    plant on the way to the loo or relieve my bladder. My brother saud I looked as if I had gone 10 reounds with George Foreman in boxer mode
    not grill mode.

    They tested me for stroke, cardiac, etc. and finally settled on having
    too much CO2 in my blood gasses. Now I have to get used to sleeping
    with a Bi-Pap machine.

    That's going to be fun. I use O2 only when sleeping; if I have to get
    up during the night, the canula comes off until I'm back in bed.

    Actually it's not nearly as much a PITA as I had feared. And I get up
    less during the night. As a guy I can make do with a 'workaround'
    urinal and don't have to make the treek across the house. My O2 hose
    is long enough to get to anywhere indoors without removing it. But
    the BiPap has me on a six-foot leash. Bv)=

    Just don't toss and turn too much, getting wound up in it. (G) I've a
    long hose for the concentrator (We keep it in the hallway to cut down
    on bedroom noise.) so it is run over the top of the doorway, around the back of a dresser and over to the bed. Still enough tubing I could (if
    we had the space) move the machine elsewhere.

    I'd go under the door as that would work better in my situation.

    Title: Dave's Pork-U-Swine Sandwich - Mark II
    Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Cheese, Breads
    Yield: 2 Servings

    Looks good enough to pig out on, tho I don't know if I'd put the cheese
    on mine.

    I like the cheese. And it helps to glue the two pork patties together.

    I like cheese but not always as part of a sandwich, only with certain other "fillers". I'll eat a lot of it on the side--and seeing that this has 2 pork patties, I'd probably reduce it to one. Two would be enough
    for 2 sandwiches for me.

    HiDave,

    his two daily doses.

    But you know he's using it. When I had that stomach flu virus earlier
    this month, I didn't take any of my usual meds for a couple of days.
    Didn't really eat much either, just pushed liquids.



    It would probably work well with flounder too; that's our fish of

    We did, when we lived down on the coast. Don't have one here so we're
    just going on prior knowledge.

    Each set up is unique to the situation. I'd really have some adjusting
    to do if I were tethered to it 24/7--today I cut out another shirt for
    Santa. That would have been a lot more difficult on a full time tether.

    It does look good. Back when we were first married, one of the local (Swansboro, NC) seafood restaurants did a crab stuffed shrimp. It was
    one of their pricier menu items so we didn't get it very often--but it
    was good--and well worth the price. That restaurant, as well as several
    others in the area, no longer exist, sad because they were so good.
