Just a random pic of the day, hope it made you all smile! 
I decided that everyone who commented on my post yesterday is absolutely right, and I should’t put off getting antibiotics any longer. (Another contributing factor is that I was up most of the night coughing.. 
) So I am on my way to the doctors right now!! Let the recovery process begin!! 
XoXo Andi
**UPDATE** So I just got back from the clinic, and was surprised to learn that the doctor thought I probably have asthma… from a fairly young age, without ever being properly diagnosed! (obviously it’s not severe asthma.. but still, not sure if Asthmatic Andi sounds very sexy ) Anyway, instead of antibiotics, he gave me a PURPLE ( 
) inhaler.
When the doctor mentioned that the inhaler contained steroids, I tried to look worried and asked him with a totally straight face if that meant my testicles would shrink. Instead of laughing, he played along! Acting very serious, he told me that “Yes. They are definitely going to shrink. But this may improve your personal relationships.” LOL.. it’s nice to find a doctor at a busy walk-in clinic with a sense of humour like that… wonder if he’s accepting new patients?
PS – WOW, I just realized how relevant the “testicle conversation” is with today’s Random Pic, LMAO… totally didn’t plan that, I swear!
In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion… WTF is he doing?!
Coughing the whole night can be horrible! I hope the doc wont have to bad news and you will get the antibiotics you need.
Well done Andi. Youll be fitter than a butchers dog come Monday… whatever that means. Strange choice of randomness, what were you thinking of?
Haha! I’ve never heard that expression before.. I’m going to start using it, I think.
Ouch, if you have asthma, the coughing must be REALLY bad! Is it better now with your (fancy purple) inhaler?
And the testicles thing is hilarious! I think if I had saw this, I just laughed my ass off! ^^
Well, I hope your purple inhaler does the trick and that you start to feel better. Please keep us posted
I see a great future for Asthmatic Andi and her nebulizer. Phone sex, just wheeze away. hehe
haha.. sexy!
That’s not the worst news in the world.
A tip, rinse your mouth out with water and brush your teeth after each use if possible, less likely to develop a sore throat (family of asthmatics)
Good to know! I’ll definitely be doing that
Glad to hear you’ll be in tip-top shape soon!!
Being king just isn’t what it’s cracked up to be if you still have to lick your own balls.
I’m glad you decided to go to the doctor, though I do wish he had given you some antibiotics along with the inhaler.
Ahahahahahahahaha!!!
This comment is is almost as hilarious as the picture! Should have been the caption…
Glad you enjoyed it.
It was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the pic.
Dear doctor andi,
i got huge balls that would put that lion to shame, they dangle far more than chuck berry’s dingaling ever did. If i got one of these inhaler jobs how long before i could see shrinkage, when i can cross my legs again without shreaking?

Are you referring to ELEPHANTITIS OF THE NUTS?? (haha sorry.. now I want to watch the Breakfast Club!)
Hahaha…Elephantitis!! That reminds me of an ad for an underground record label I once saw years ago…they had an ad with 4 guys with elephantitis or something, and underneath it said, “Our records are bigger than their balls”…..I had made a comment to a co-worker and said, “wow…that’s gotta suck”, to which he replied, “well…they ain’t smilin…”
Why did I just think of that when I read this?? Damn, I is fucked!!!
Asthma????? it’s no good, please take care, and follow all doctor instructions. You’re very young (and beauty…), mmmm I think it’s no important in this moment, you´re a strong girl, and you can surpass this easily.
Keep in contact ANDI.
Glad that it’s nothing too serious for you Andi. Glad also that the doctor you went to see had a good sense of humour.
LOLOLOL!!!
Because he can, folks, because he can…
So, asthma… no shit?
Hmmm… I was misdiagnosed with asthma when I was in my early teens, so by my experience I’m a tad skeptical of this diagnosis. How does it explain the symptoms you’ve had over the past week or two? But then again you’ve had recurring flareups of respiratory ilness over the years, so what the hell do I know? Maybe the dart landed on something tangible here. In the end, I just hope the purple inhaler is what you need to actually start feeling better.
Exactly. I’m basically left wondering whether this particular doctor is a quack, or if every other doc I’ve seen over the years was wrong. It could go either way, at this point..
I’m leaning toward the former, obviously, though I might put it differently (see below). Sounds like he was a great guy, but that doesn’t make his diagnosis correct. Even though you might be inclined to give him some benefit of the doubt because a) you want to think this amiable guy got it right, and b) you want to think you’re now on the right track toward feeling better.
I will say this in his defense: diagnostics – whether it’s figuring out what’s wrong with a machine, an animal or a person – is inherently a kind of guessing game. It’s informed guessing to be sure, but they can’t just take everything apart and see exactly what’s wrong. So they listen to the symptoms, get an intuition, and take a stab at it. A doctor who has never seen you before and all at once is hearing your symptoms from recently and from all the way back to your childhood is more likely to get a wrong intuition and take a stab in the wrong direction. This does not make him a quack in my book (i.e. a fraud at practicing medicine). It’s just the inexact nature of diagnositcs – especially when dealing with something as complicated as a human being and getting one shot at fixing the problem. This is the insight I gained from my own medical experiences (which I admit are limited… I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve needed to see the doctor since the visit almost twenty years ago that produced the asthma misdiagnosis) and from my other first and secondhand experiences with diagnostics.
It’s very possible that this guy was wrong on the exact diagnosis (I might even say probable), but on the other hand it doesn’t seem like the other doctors you’ve seen all along have been able to identify the underlying cause of the respiratory problems you’ve had over the years either. I give this guy some credit for trying to address the big picture.
In many ways, you know your body better than any doctor. The best thing you can do is take care of it by reducing or eliminating risk factors where you can (get your sleep; get your vitamins; I won’t mention any others in particular,
though I’m glad you have done what you have so far on that) and being good to yourself.
Oh… and no, I’m not a doctor. I’d just like to play one with you.
Actually with asthma, its usually caused by trees and the pollin they produced. Heh, it might be hay fever.
You may want to stay away from smokers now more then ever there is a good reason for this one.
Having had childhood asthma, I know how much it can suck. I hope you feel better now that you’re on advair, or whatever long-acting steroid the doc put you on.
psssh… the definition of asthma is whether you improve more than 13% on a peak flow meter when placed upon ventolin…
your on seretide.. its a combination..
you just like the color. quit smoking sweetie
