LUNG PROBLEMS

I think it was last Thursday that I swept out a very dirty trailer in Mississippi. Bluish gray powder heavily coated the wooden floor. I didn't think much of it, although I remember wishing I had a dust mask to keep it out of my lungs. I swept hard and fast, evacuating the debris into a large dumpster that I had backed up to. The shipping clerk inspected my trailer and was impressed. She pointed to the row where I would drop my empty trailer, and to where I would hopefully find my loaded trailer. All went smoothly.
   Several hours later, after I had parked and eaten dinner, I went to bed. I was awakened by the need to cough with intense urgency. I coughed and coughed and hacked very loudly. I developed other symptoms that I won't mention on my blog. The next few days were miserable. I stopped often for short naps, but still met my goals. It's Wednesday afternoon. I feel like I am almost completely better. I'm in Newton Kansas, beginning a 34 hour restart.
