Take a Deep Breath...

Wednesday, April 06, 2005

I started my day feeling positive, hoping that my trip to the doctors' would mean I could stop using the prescribed inhalers and get things "back to normal". After all my cough has all but gone and I am feeling much better.

Imagine my annoyance when I was prescribed a new inhaler and a peek flow monitor for the next month. Apparently this is to make sure that everything is okay, to find out if I have any points of weakness and to see if intermittent use of an inhaler would help.

I don't mind but it feels like I am a bit of a guinea pig for my surgeries Registrar. I shouldn't be so negative though as she is only trying to help.

I just cannot believe I have got to 31, I am fit and healthy and now it looks like I may (even sporadically) need to rely on an inhaler to help my breathing.

I have had years of "improvements", my nose was straightened, my septum was widened and still there are problems. How come I feel fine?

I just don't get it.

This seems to have grabbed my attention most of today though which is not good. I don't think I should dwell on it, I should just monitor my progress until May and see what the outcome is. I cannot help it though. I guess I may be scared of the outcome... I don't know!

Hopefully a week on the coast will put paid to any problems once and for all?
