Time keeps on slipping

Alright, I've been a good sport about having asthmatic bronchitis this time, because it has been over a year since I last had a severe cold, sinus infection, or bronchitis. Thanks to that snazzy heart surgery allowing my blood to get that proper oxygen mix it needs.

However I'm now beginning week three of it and I'm starting to lose my patience. It is getting harder to remember the good points.

Pros:

1 - Yes, it isn't severe as in the past. I haven't had to take a trip to the Emergency Room.
2 - I don't feel like I am about to die with every cough.

3 - I'm not contagious.

Cons:

1 - It is taking far too long to recover.
2 - I am exhausted ALL the time. And that tired feeling feels way too much like I felt before the heart surgery and that scares that crap out of me. I lost a lot time during of my summer to a medication screw up that threw my mind and body out of whack and now I am losing three weeks to this! UGH!

As healthy as I eat 90 - 95% of the time and even with going to the gym, I think I need to do more than maintain my health with everything that is 'out there'. Obviously, it isn't enough to have my heart fixed. Viruses themselves are becoming stronger. So I need to work on boosting my own immune system BEFORE I get sick. Researching teas, tonics, elixirs, tinctures in my personal library and notes now. Then I'll expand outward from there.
