Vanity is permitted

Had the joys of outpatients today, I did enjoy my drive there though. I had a mini rave in my car, I have this new 90's album and I love it!

My lung function is 42% now, I blew so hard my head almost exploded as I was determined for it to be up again. Its so annoying, I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but if I could blow for as long as possible without dislodging some sputum and needing to cough then I could perhaps get a tiny bit higher.

My crp at the end of my IVs was 34 which was actually higher than when I started (it was about 18) but apparently this could be a reaction to the antibiotics, especially since they made me feel so unwell. They took my blood to see what my crp level is now and if it's higher they are going to call me. The doctor were very understanding that I don't want to go on IV's now as it's too close to the wedding and I want my arm to look nice! Vanity is allowed even when you have CF :o)

I have been put back on voriconazole which I have to stop 5 days before the honeymoon so that I won't burn in the sun. I have to go back in 2 weeks for them to check on my liver as voriconazole can cause liver problems.

So overall an ok visit, least the lung function is up abit and I'm feeling ok just very breathless all the time. Just got to trudge along though don't you!
