Last week feels like a blur, I did however get to see lung Dr, and all OK. He doesn't think there has been a real change in lung function since my previous visit on 4 June. Weight exactly the same. Bloods were fine and he didn't mention the x-ray so I assume there was nothing remarkable there. Going again on 30 Sept (tentatively I guess!) and the middle Nov to wrap up the year. On Thursday it's time for the gynae and have to make a plan to get to dermatologist as well soon.
This weekend we had such a cool transplant/CF friend get-together. We were 4 couples and had a great time playing Cards Against Humanity (that Anna introduced me to), and doing a little baby-shower thing for Shaun (who had a transplant)'s wife Alet who is expecting twins. It was very special and we had some great food as well. Pre-transplant CF people are not advised to hang out together, due to the risks of cross-infection. So it's always so cool when you get to hug another CFer after knowing them for years but having always had to keep a distance when they've gotten their new lungs. It was the case with Fawn, and last week I finally got to hug Charlene for the first time. I'm NOT a soppy person, but I think it's so special to be able to be in close proximity to someone who knows exactly what you have been through, especially if you knew the pre-transplant and pretty much only kept in touch electronically or from a distance wearing a mask. Love these guys!
Yesterday I did a crap-load of gardening and garden-shopping with my sis. I re-potted all 4 my orchids (3 of which are going to flower again this year!), re-potted a whole munch of succulents, tried to clean up the flower-beds etc. lower back and hamstrings feeling it today. So exciting to see spring rearing it's head. Can't believe Aug is halfway and in 2 weeks' time it's my birthday!
