Just a quick update
Still seeing the Psychologist with so much happening in my own life and family.. Just to add to the mix I am now under the care of the Respiratory Rapid access team, ran a temp so got sent to ED my Oxygen levels were crazy low. I've always suffered horrible hay fever and cough in spring and autumn. Antihistamines have usually helped but not his time I'm afraid. I don't understand any of the discharge report because it says refer to scan. Having a lung function test on the 13th. yet another chest CT on the 17th. then back to cancer clinic on the 24th. Don't see the Lung Specialist till February. For now I have a preventer inhaler. I am to try stay out of the wind and if they are doing any back burning in my area to stay indoors.
On a positive my sons shoulder surgery went well, my daughters shoulder surgery is booked for the 30th (she has in layman's terms laxity of the joints.) and needs her tendons tightened up in her shoulder. daughter in law seems to be over the worst of her kidney stones. The daughter with the Crohn's is nearly on top of the latest flare up.
Now to concentrate on me getting better. And back to the boring stable state.
Hi! Hope you are feeling a little better today!
Have you had a Lung Function test before? I am a full-time carer for my sister. She has these on a regular basis and are a good guide as to where she is at. At her worst she was 25%, now 3 years on with perseverance with the Physio and us she is at 55% - probably as good as it will get! We have eliminated her cause however the damage to her lungs won't change. It's the exercise, mainly walking, sit to stand exercises, light weights that have made the big difference! Her Oxygen levels vary but sit around 93% sometimes a little better!
Hopefully for you it is more about the seasonal changes at present, lots of pollen in the air et cetera
Take care
