Good morning, I'm glad you are recuperating, and now I understand the mucus - pneumonia used to make me feel like I was drowning in mucus - for weeks and weeks afterwards. Do you feel it is diminishing at all?

When you take your albuterol, are you using a spacer with the inhaler? That gets more of it to your lungs. I find the inhaler just as useful as a neb, as long a my chest isn't feeling "tight" - then I use my neb.

I hope as your lungs heal from the pneumonia the mucus will improve.
Sue
