CF Appointment
I had my 4th quarter CF appointment yesterday. It was good, but not as good as I would have liked. I had a glucose test, which always sucks! I had a late start too, so I didn't get to eat until after 1:15...I was HUNGRY!!! Thankfully I remembered my protein bar so I munched on that while I waited for the CF gang to come see me.
PFTS were down a bit, but I believe that to be my fault entirely. I feel fine, so I don't think I'm coming down with anything. Ever since our Vegas trip on Thanksgiving, I've had a heck of a time getting back into my vesting schedule. I've noticed my cough has picked up a bit, which I think is a result of the missed treatments.
So here they are...and for fun, I included my results from this time last year.
12/10/14 9/19/14 December 2013
FVC 97% 111% 110%
FEV1 85% 95% 97%
FEV 25-75% 52% 58% 68%
Although they were down some, we did notice a cool trend. Since starting Hypertonic Saline in October 2013, my numbers have been on an upward trend overall!! That's pretty awesome!! So glad I started it!!!
Nothing else to really report. Weight is always good - too good if you ask me ;). Tummy is operating as it should thanks to my enzymes. Exercising 4-5 days a week plus vesting, so can't complain about airway clearance too much!
I'm good til my next appointment in March - woohoo! Now I just need to get back on my A game! Vest and then starting my Cayston cycle on Monday.
