4. I'm a week out now from getting over "progressive bronchitis"

They ended up putting me on Prednisone, Albuterol inhaler, a Z-pack antibiotic, and Mucinex DM. They also had me go into the office every other day to listen to my lungs, check my breathing capacity and give me a 10 min. in-office breathing treatment. Still have a cough, but she said that could last a month.

Now admitted, I just started back in walking yesterday, but my fasting numbers are still hanging around 130-140 when before I ran the fever and had to go on all those meds, it was between 107 and 110. I really have been off exercise since 1/29 since I had rotator cuff surgery and they didn't even want me to walk on the treadmill so maybe I just have to get back up to the level I was before surgery (20 min. of aerobics in each morning and 40 min. of walking each evening.) At least I'm hoping that's all it is. It's almost like the metformin and lysinopril have stopped working
