Snowy Birthday!

For my birthday I went over to see my brother in Hull with my mum, we were not going to let a little bit of snow stop us! I then had a chinese takeaway foe tea because the Indian takeaway was shut! We also had to get it delivered because the car got stuck!

For my birthday I got some clothes from my parents, a new camera from Pete, some pj's (Is it me or are getting new pj's the best thing ever?!), some socks for my ipod (to put it in, not to wear on the ipod's feet...!), money and some earrings. I also got a cake made for me by my Nana which was delivered by my Auntie and Nana.

Pete and I made a snowman last night which we named Reg, unfortunately his head fell off about an hour after we made him. RIP Reg!

I called the hospital today as I've had a ringing in my ear for about 5 days, it also echoes inside my ear when I talk! I called the hospital because tobramycin can affect your ears and make you go deaf so I got abit worried! I was on tobramycin when on my iv's and I've started my tobi nebuliser since I finished my iv's, which is also tobramycin but in a nebulised form. The doctor says the tobi nebs can't cause ear problems as not enough is absorbed and he says some people can get a ringing from tobramycin iv's, I have to call back if it gets worse or I start to feel dizzy. By the way, is it wrong to find one of the doctors quite cute? I'm not naming which one, I don't know who reads this!

I have felt pretty rubbish today, I keep feeling light headed which I think is my blood sugars getting low. Last week the hospital rang to check up on me as when they took my bloods my blood sugars came back as 2.8 which is low so they wanted to check I was OK. I'm going to take them everytime I feel lightheaded (I've got a monitor thingy to prick my finger with) and then tell the dietitian when I see her next. Usually if I have some chocolate I start to feel ok. People with cf can get cf related diabetes, I'm not sure how it is caused but it's different to normal diabetes, it's classed as type 3. We get tested every year with a glucose tolerance test. One of my tests once came back as abnormal but not abnormal enough to be diabetic, I was classed as having impaired glucose tolerance, kind of half way there. So basically my sugars can go abit funny sometimes, however another test 6 months later came back as normal, so I think I'm just weird! I've also been feeling incredibly tired and achy. Sometimes I get sick of feeling ill all the time, why can't I just feel good and have a normal day?! Am I just a wuss who picks up on everything that's wrong with me? I don't remember feeling like this when I was younger, I feel like an ill person, I never used to think I was ill, it's not a nice feeling. It's even worse to know your probably always going to feel like this, most people get ill and then recover, yes I have iv's and feel better, but I never recover properly.

Heres some pictures from my birthday, on my new camera! In the first picture I'm wearing my new coat
