This last weekend the weather was beautiful outside. We had friends over on Saturday then Sunday our neighbors had an old fashioned cider press party using her grandmother’s press. It was literally some of the best cider I have ever tasted!
My cough is getting better but now Travis sounds horrible. He has a terrible cough and is congested. I don’t think I have ever had a coughing buddy before. The weird but neat thing is, my cough is so satisfying. With my new lungs I have the capacity to take a deep breath and really cough the junk out. With my old lungs, it was so difficult.
I think the Prednisone burst is helping with my infection and it sure has given me a little extra energy. The problem is, not when I want it! I have had a few days where it has been 5am before I even began to feel sleepy.
The Prednisone is also taking a toll on my diabetes. My blood sugar was so high on Sunday my machine read “HIGH”. When that happens, it means my blood sugar is registering over 500. The norm is 80-120! I have made some changes to my insulin pump and finally my sugars are back to a good range.
I have lung function tests again on Monday. I am really crossing my fingers that my lungs have improved.
If you happen to be attending the Breathe Easy Music Festival this Saturday, yours truly will be saying a few words around 7pm. We are looking forward to the event.
