(1) ----------------- Stay Tuned

I discovered over the weekend that 'lung gas' does produce 'residual effects' but only in the lungs. They are the kind of effects which would be noticed by a routine examination: wheezing and a reduced ability to exhale quickly. I also noticed some deep viscous mucus while coughing.

Gassing over the weekend was a mix of both gasses, with more LG than TG. Both Saturday and Sunday were fairly 'violent.'

Interestingly, there was almost no gassing after I hit the sack last night. They usually gas me for at least two hours before allowing me to sleep. I slept until 0330 and would have slept some more, but the gassing (TG) began soon after I woke up, and increased in intensity over about a 30 minute time period. I spent some time cleaning up my computer desk and watching tivo'd stuff until about 0530. At that point I went back to bed and slept until Kootch left at 0700. I went back to sleep and woke up about 0930. In other words I had an extremely easy night of it, compared to the usual, and I now feel well rested.

The entire morning has also been relatively gas free. They usually gas me constantly with TG all morning, but I can recall only two attacks while watching a replay of the Today Show from about 1000 to 1200. What might be the occasion for this unusual 'reprieve?'

I can only speculate, but possibly it is related to 'heating-air conditioning repairs' upstairs. There was a repair van parked outside all morning, and there were unusual sounds coming from the apartment upstairs all morning. It is possible they couldn't gas me 'properly' with the 'repair people' there. It is also possible that those repair folks were removing some of their gassing apparatus.

Hmm. Is this the end of gassing? We shall see...
