Feeling Sticky!

Last week I think I might have had a virus or cold or something, not really sure. I find it difficult to tell what is CF related and what is not. My nose was runny but not completely blocked so I don't know if that was sign of a cold or just my sinuses as I have been getting headaches almost everyday, but again this could be because of a cold. It's probably abit of both as one is bound to affect the other. This has been dripping down the back of my throat and it's made me more productive than normal and my sputum has been very sticky. Infact on Sunday when I woke up, I went to spit some in the sink and it was just hanging out of my mouth as it was so sticky it was still sticking to my throat. It started to make me gag and I thought I was going to be sick! I had to pull it out with my fingers, lovely! This could have been made worse because I went out the night before so was I probably dehydrated!

Anyway, all last week I have felt abit achy and tired, very lethargic and not felt bothered to do much. Saying all this though I haven't felt terrible and don't think it's anything major, like I said, not sure what it is really!

Going out on Saturday probably wasn't the best course of action to help with whatever I had but nevermind, I wasn't even planning to go out, we went for a meal then ended up going out after. Spontaneous nights are always the best, had a really good time and got in at 2.30am. I even did my tobi neb when I got in, I'm really am surprised it doesn't make me sick when I'm drunk as it does not taste good but guess I must be used to the damn thing!

I was able to dance alot more than last time which was really good and I drank rather alot. A beggars dog humped my leg which was interesting.... I then kicked up a fuss as when we got into the club there was no handwash or soap in the toilets for me to wash my hands after stroking the dog. No wonder germs get passed around when there are no handwashing facilities! God I am getting old aren't I?!

I hardly seemed to cough which was weird, perhaps the sputum is so sticky I'm not coughing at the moment, I know there is loads there but I'm not coughing as much as usual. Weird! When I do cough it's like a big beastly cough, I sound like a bear and my face feels all red and like my veins are popping out!

On Sunday I didn't get up until about 11.30am and didn't get dressed until about half 3. So my morning physio was quite a late one! I then didn't do my evening physio until about half 10 in the the evening as I went out for another meal (too many birthdays this month). I didn't want to do my physio before I went as I'd only done my morning physio a few hours before!

My friend and I also took Alfie for a walk in the afternoon, even managed to have the car roof down on the way there! Bring on summer!

My friend Tori had another transplant call this weekend but sadly the lungs were not suitable, this is her 7th false call. From discussing this with my friends I found out two people I know would want to donate their organs when they die, but haven't signed up. These aren't bad or selfish people, infact one said they thought organ donation should be opt out rather than in. It just proves that people do want to donate but just don't get around to doing it or don't know how to. It's so silly, I'm going to send them the link so hopefully they will sign up now.

Here are some pictures from Saturday night and a video
