Busy days

Sorry for lack of postage, the last few days have been rather busy.

On Tuesday I did some more of my assessment and went out with Jean again and some of the other patients. We went around London to look at the various Christmas lights they had to offer, we went to Parliament square, Covent garden, Regent st, Oxford st, Carnaby st and some others - in Covent garden at 7 dials they had huge chandeliers hanging down they were gorgeous, the best lights I think - it was really lovely to get out and enjoy seeing the lights with other CF patients - something that rarely happens these days due to cross infection.

On Wednesday I went over to the Sydney street wing (the royal Brompton hospital is situated on two roads, Fulham road is more of a lung hospital where as Sydney street is more cardiac) to have an operation, I had my operation and was put to sleep for four hours, they gave my lungs a good clear out and when I woke I was talking about my exercise test and facebook which was funny. I was put out by anesthetic which is always a bit risky when you have problems with your lungs as this shuts down your entire body and causing the cilia to stop working, mine doesn't work too well anyways as my sectretions are rather thick so this can cause a chest infection and set you two steps back, so now I have a cold and another chest infection which is rather unfortunate as the plan on Friday was to come home off antibiotics but the good news is I have come home even if it is on antibiotics, I am due to go back to the hospital on Thursday to review my infection and see where we go from there.

Today I am just going to chill at home as I am rather tired, washing my hair took up a lot of energy this morning but I am going to have days like this and I don't want to complain too much as there is nothing I can do about this.

p.s - Assessment is all done!!

Much love over the Christmas period. xx
