bummer, had to cancel tonight's plans with angela, diana and other chicks - i was really looking forward to dinner at Marco's then off to see "Dear Mrs. Roosevelt" but i couldn't do it - having difficulties breathing...

alas, i had to go to the doc, who then sent me for a chest x-ray.

thankfully, no pneumonia, but apparently i'm dealing with atelectasis now, which is causing major shortness of breath - i've joined the rest of my family members in the Inhaler club! i've been lucky enough not to have asthma like pooky and mom, but i'm certainly relating to them right now - this sucks...guess i didn't realize how important breathing is...
