TONSILS!

Tomorrow it is exactly a week since I started my IVs and I am feeling loads better already I actually have energy to do things, and I have even been out to my local theme park (Blackpool pleasure beach) quite a few times this week as I have a seasons pass!

Anyway tomorrow (Thursday 11th April) I am finally having my tonsils removed!
I'm a bit nervous, but not a lot!
I'm just not liking the fact that it will hurt to eat! But other than that I'm fine!
And I know it will help me a lot in the long run as my lung function will improve as I will be able to have my nebulisers all the time, so that will help a lot!
I will keep you updated on ho I am feeling after my operation!

IVs, tonsils, and GTT

So I have now started my IVs (intravenous antibiotics) and I have had 2 days worth of them so far!
At the moment I don't feel any different but in a couple of days the antibiotics will make me feel like I have more energy, but I am having my tonsils out on Thursday, but I know it will help me In the future as when I have had twilit is in the past I haven't been able to have my nebulisers so it was making my lung function drop, but now my lung function has gone up to 94% from 86% so that's really good, as i Have had quite a few infections recently!

While I was at the hospital yesterday (Thursday 4th April) I also had a glucose tolerance test (GTT) to test me for diabetes, this means me not being able to eat or drink for a certain amount of time, then I have to have a blood test, then I have to drink a certain amount of glucose or original lucozade, I drank the lucozade as the glucose is very horrible and thick/gloopy! So after i have drunk it all i have to wait 2 hours for another blood test! We haven't got the results for it yet, but when I know I will update!
I will update you more on my IVs and tonsils soon!
