Home and resting...

I was only supposed to come back from Pretoria this afternoon, but I've been feeling so crappy that I decided at 5am this morning that I'm coming home and seeing my Doc on the way back! It's still my cold, but my lungs were weezing a little too, so it seemed like I was starting to get a chest infection. So now I've got antibiotics and my prednisone has been pushed up for a week. That should sort it out. I slept quite a bit after I arrived home, and feeling LOTS better. What a relief.

It's quite funny, I've coughed up a bit of mucus, and it feels strange. Almost fake. CF mucus is hard-core sticky mucky greenish brownish junk. What I coughed up this morning was watery, and weird and shoudn't even be called mucus. Feels like I'm coughing up someone else's junk!!! Which is probably true... in a weird way! Anyway, I prefer someone else's pathetic-excuse-for-mucus than my old stuff. Gross. (I hope no-one was eating while reading this, lol!!!)

So I don't really have much other news... will be doing the same tomorrow as today... reading, sleeping, chilling. Nice. Oh, and on Tuesday morning my FEV1 was 96%, and FeNO 14.

And last but not least... MY SISTER TURNED 21 YESTERDAY!!!!! Geluk met jou verjaarsdag sussie!!!!!

Alice, that stinks that you are still sick. I have been getting the signs that usually indicate a sinus infection or something is not too far away. I have been doubling up on my food, orange juice, and especially sleep. I hope you get to feeling better soon. I hate being sick.

hope you are feeling better soon - sounds like being sick with your new lungs is way better than being sick with your old!!! :)

mmm... hallo! Ek was besig om 'n beskuitjie (met mucus) te eet... heeh... Thanks for that! :) :) Ek hoop dat jy sommer vinnig sal beter word, want ons siek te wees is rerig gagga.
Mooi bly!
