Let me do my little happy dance... *does happy dance in seat
I had a checkup today, and I was expecting it to go so-so. I got sick, most likely with some sort of virus, two weeks ago. My only symptom was drainage, it was so odd. My symptoms went away within a week, which is amazingly quick for me, and I wasn't doing all that bad. Again, for me, it was a pretty mild whatever-it-was illness. But I have some lasting effects from it, primarily this really deep wheeze in one spot of my lung. Long story short (not really...) I was expecting my PFTs to be lowered due to this wheezing and maybe I'd come home on some oral meds.
Nope. Not the case!
Turns out, my PFTs were AMAZING! Not only have I maintained my levels since I got out of the hospital, but I have improved! And not just a tiny bit, but a GOOD bit! I went from a 0.90 to a 1.01! Usually we rejoice with small gains; like if I was at 0.95 I'd still be excited. But a 12% change?! That's really good.
So yeah, since I'm doing so well I definitely don't need meds right now. I just need to keep working at getting the gunk out of there with airway clearance and exercise.
I wanted to celebrate tonight so we went to Imo's and got a bacon cheeseburger pizza. :)
