I am one of those out of town friends. I have a dog and cat, and I'm still smoking (much less! yay!). You would be miserable with me around.

I want to make a suggestion, though. Obviously I am not a doctor and this is not *medical advice*. When I posted on facebook about my not smoking program, one friend, who is a massage therapist and teaches seminars for breath work) pointed out to me that Grief is held in our lungs. Grief and sadness are lung issues. You had that terrible bout of pneumonia and you already have 'sad' lungs with asthma. There are a lot of food things you can use to help. http://www.healingfoodreference.com/lungs.html And breath work would also be beneficial for you. I like the story Cleita tells about how she helped her late husband with his COPD. She got him a harmonica to exercise his lungs. That's one approach. Doing routines of deep breathing is another. Breathe! Do the best you can with the condition of your lungs as they are. I'm finding that meditation is also good for my lungs. I smoke a lot less when I meditate.

Every time one of the locals there says or does hurtful things, that pain is going straight to your lungs. Even though less noticeable, I think those feelings are harming you as much as an allergen. Feel better
