I should probably pick up a 2nd one.
I was driving back in the smoke on Thursday. And watered that evening. Watered on Tuesday I think it was too. I think that along with never getting the really nice clear air has been part of the problem. There's also the smaller things - had things sitting in the dryer, opened it up and a big whiff of smoke I would guess from the outdoor vent.
 
My respiratory system is not happy with the smoke. I've been coughing for a month. Today someone asked if I had asthma. o_O

Yeah
It was VERY annoying
Oh my diaphragm!!!
Thank goodness it was only that 1 time.
(I've had to deal with both Bronchitis and Asthma in my life; I used 2 get pneumonia 4 times a year. I have an inhaler just in case. I wasn't as bad as my sis, who needed a nebulizer and who had to quit figure skating due to chlorine in ice aggroing her asthma; there have been a few times when she has gone blue and had 2 b hospitalized)
 
I've been coughing for over 6 months now ... the medical experts tell me there is nothing wrong with me ... and I ask who is it wrong with then? We are that worst kind they say!

Stones are more durable than people ... of course according to experts ... a host of people are disposable ... especially those without Monis' grasp! Tis like Dante's pits ... the governing house ...

Oh, Luce, unfortunately, you need to be your own advocate in the health system. Do you have allergies?
I had this respiratory flu in spring and every once in a while I get a coughing spell, but it could also be allergies.
Can’t blame it on the BC wildfires, though.
I don’t think it has anything to do with money, as your Dr. would be paid the same no matter who sees him. Have you expressed your concerns to him / her clearer that how you write on WC2?

I have long term difficulties with my upper teeth and sinus ... however the officialdom of various medical powers say there is nothing wrong with me ... so there you have it absolute truth! Should one sidle up to Thomas? Doubt is not allowable ...

You can cough these things up though ...

Sometimes you need to ask for a referral. I find most of the time doctors are open to that. Have you asked to see an ENT?
 
Mu doctor believes that his expertise is all that is required ... that kind of detritus one finds with the humbris ... but in reality you can't say that. It is taken as critical thinking thus negative and fatalistic ...

My wife of 50+ years says you cannot disagree with doctoring ... it is the decree with old acceptance about who knows what! She is a retired nurse and doctors intimidate her ... a weird form of trypophobia ... fear of places that may be laced with holes ... holy ground?

Word by nature is chaos until one learns the pluralistic apps. and where to put it in place ... ectoplasm as pud'n ... viscous ... and stiff when cold ...

Some people never warm to Nous meanings ... all Nous is bad even if the paucity is off ... resembles rare thoughts in an emotional setting!
 
Was just looking at cbc, and saw so many photos of locations with orange skies. Thinking of you all. I wonder how the creatures are doing? @Tabitha have you noticed anything unusual re the deer in your area? Also thinking of those who live on the streets.
like here in super hot days, or very snowy ones, , it is so much harder on those with rough living conditions.
 
Air quality is worse here. Professional triathlon cancelled yesterday and today. That NEVER happens. Ride to Conquer cancer in southern Alberta cancelled at lunch yesterday. I went home early from a quilting day at senior's centre as smoke in building was worse than at my house. My house still has a smoky smell but breathing is easier.

As for animals-my cat still likes to go out for short periods. Fires are not nearby. Have not noticed an increase in animals along creek.Deer still visit.

Hopefully you can get some rain.

Air quality here is better and is predicted to stay the same tomorrow. I still smell smoke though, I need rain to wash it off everything.

My lungs have been fairly ok. I'm not going out though, so that helps significantly. I am pretty congested though. My skin is reacting to the smoke too.
 
What a fire season. Must check up on the retired exec from work who lives in the Kelowna area now. He still does some work for us so is in touch regularly. Take care Western WC'ers.
