Quote of the Day for Friday, August 2, 2024

The following quote is taken from Written in My Own Heart’s Blood, Chapter 6, Under My Protection. Copyright 2014, All Rights Reserved.

“No,” I said definitely, putting the cork back in and shoving vial and box into my pocket. “That won’t help. Purse you lips and blow out.” His eyes bulged a bit, but he did it; I could feel the slight movement of air on my own perspiring face.

“Right. Now, relax, don’t gasp for air, just let it come. Blow out to the count of four. One…two…three….four…let it come in, count of two…yes, good. Now don’t worry; you aren’t going to suffocate, you can keep doing that all day.” I smiled encouragingly at him, and he managed to nod. I straightened up and looked round; we were near Locust Street, and Peterman’s ordinary was no more than a block away.

And so we meet the Duke of Pardlow. As a physical therapist I have worked with people with asthma, and while it’s very scary, if you can get them to control their breath it really does help! (But the drugs were have now are much, much better!!!)

[> [> [> I never used audio books until Outlander and what a great discovery! Listening to them after reading brought them even more alive, if possible. I have to reread and listen to Ashes and Moby. Thanks for bringing these special times back to me this week, Janet! -- Kathy in PA, Sat, August 03 2024, 3:40:54
