So the other thing that happened on Tuesday was that I resigned from my job. There were a few reasons for it, but the main one is for career growth. It was the first time in my life I've had to hand in a resignation letter, but at least now I can tick that one off, LOL! I wasn't pleasant but glad it's done! I also realised that me deciding to resign and move on to a new company shows I have so much more faith/confidence in my health now than I did 2 and a half years ago when I just started working. Back then I was so scared my health wouldn't handle working fulltime in a rather stressfull job. I just wanted to stay with that company and hope they never feel I'm an inferior employee who gets sick often. Now I KNOW I'm a good emplyee and in the last 2 years I've been sick VERY seldom. *touch all sorts of wood* So I'm starting my new job on 1 June!!! And they're OK with me taking off for the Games, which is great. Very excited :-)
My check-up on Tuesday went great. ALL bloods were normal, even the sugar ones, THANK GOODNESS. I'm finally getting the sugar under control :-) Now I'll have to work to keep my weight under control, normaller glucose levels brings easier weight gain :-( But it's all good. lung functions were a bit better than last time (although I did have a cold then), 98/99% FEV1& and 107% capacity/volume. So feeling very relieved after that. Now I must just get my flu shot and avoid getting flu. Throat a bit scratchy today so resting and trying to keep warm. I was in contact with 3 sick people the last 2 days at work, and can NOT AFFORD TO GET SICK NOW.
Then, some AWESOME news, a friend of mine Shaun got lungs last night!!!!!!!!! He's a year younger than me, also CF. SOOOOO happy for him and his stunning wife. The surgery went really well, so the next few days are critical. Please pray that all goes perfectly!
