Monday I had a doctor appointment which went well. The doctors made some changes to help protect CF patients during their visit. For example, I was required to wear a mask to keep germs from going or coming out (if I were to be "sick"). The docs also wore thin cover gowns and gloves when they were visiting with me in the exam rooms. I understand the gloves, but the gowns I'm not really sure about... I appreciated the mask a lot.
My PFTs were good and about like they were at the last visit. With harvest season going on, I have extra gunk, if you will, in my lungs so that's why I think the score wasn't a little higher. I've been doing some extra curricular activities the last couple months which involve dancing and singing so that has really helped keep me active. I've still been doing my VEST treatment and Pulmozyme nebulizer daily too. They also took a few gallons, I mean, tubes of my blood in order to review my vitamin levels and such. It's been a while since that has been done so here's hoping for a much higher Vit D level than what it has been in the past! Maybe this will be a first in YEARS that my level is actually in normal range! My BP was "calm" and my Oxygen was about 98%. My weight was...wait a minute...not going there. ha-ha
It's so wonderful to have something fun to do that helps keep you distracted from the other "stuff" in life for a while. The dancing and singing I'm doing makes me very happy even though my body sometimes is a bit sore afterwards. It's all worth it!
