In the sanatorium due to asthma

I have driven 400 km north from where I live and I am currently in Oulu, in a sanatorium (or rehabilitating institute as the modern term is I think). I arrived on Tuesday for a two weeks' stay in order to get my asthma in balance again. It will take a lot more than two weeks - but at least to get the process started. Today I have seen the doctor and he has told me what I already knew: my asthma is completely out of balance. I have difficulties in walking, talking, just everything. This is not really good news, I know and I am sorry. Now I am on steroids again, and quite a heavy dose too. We are a group of 6 and the group is very supportive. When I told them that the doctor had forbidden all motioning for me, they said they would not have taken me with them motioning anyway. LOL! Tomorrow I will see the nurse and the physiotherapist. I am completely exhausted even after today though I only had two group meetings and then the appointment to the doctor who examined me. It is only 300 - 400 meters to the island where all the doctors, nurses and meeting rooms are but it takes me an eternity to walk there, and every walk means an asthma attack.

Happy you received the Christmas card! :) I will see the doctor , the physiotherapist and the nurse today again, I can tell more after I have seen them. I had an extra check with doctor here in between because the treatment that I got did not work. Have tried another one now, it does a bit more than the previous one. It is -20 degrees Centigrade here, not gppd for asthma that either.
