Silver Lake, Kansas | To young farmer 09 and all the rest not respecting your asthma. This is the riot act being read to you by Mrs. Farmer. Everything I am mentioning I have done, been there more than once and really don't want to see anyone go through it again.
1. You can lose 50% of lung capacity before you know you have a problem.
2. If you don't have current prevention and rescue inhalers, get them.
3. If harvesting keep your rescue inhaler with you and keep it cool. Get a sandwich cooler that will be in the cab with you and get a refreeze block and keep your inhaler cool. Once they get above 90 or below about50 the med is not going to help you when you need it.
4. Get a good dust mask, yes they are hot and uncomfortable, wear it anyway.
5. If coughing up crud out the lungs and it is yellow, green, brown or red call the doc NOW!
6. If you are wheezing and you can feel it or worse other people can hear you it is ER time.
7. Talk to doc and get a peak flow meter and learn how to use it.
8. If ever cough til you pass out, it is ER time too!
9. Learn how to manage your asthma.
10. Been there and done all of the above. Don't want to any of them again. Learn from my past and have a better future.
11. Don't do what a farmer friend did and let yourself get in such bad shape from asthma you die.
Be safe guys, your families want you at home every night.
Mrs. Farmer | |
