I have to admit, I did laugh a little at the beginning of your story, partially because I can't even imagine what it's like to go through something like that. The part where you said to yourself "Boy it sure is nice out here" as a huge wall of dust was headed your way just made me laugh pretty hard at the image I made in my head.

Glad you're OK though. Hope the lungs clear up quickly. How long does it take to find out if you got Valley Fever?
