Oh, asthma ... as a kid, I had it bad enough to be hospitalized a number of times. I had an inhaler and pills (Marax), but only took them when I had symptoms. Thankfully, they gradually disappeared. For the past 35 years or so, about the only time I'm reminded of it is when I have a chest cold.

Broke 4 ribs, in a bike crash in 2008. After I healed up, my doc gave me volumetric breathing test, and I blew it off scale. I think all those years struggling to breathe as a kid may have done me some good.

I don't carry an emergency inhaler ... probably should.
