wow, I'm sorry for not posting, again..
but lets get started on this update. In the past 5 months or so, I've generally been quite well I guess. I've had a few courses of antibiotics due to my chest feeling quite rubbish, but I'm now on IVs for 2 weeks so that will definitely get better! I started my IVs last Friday (28th October) and also did my lung function, which surprisingly was pretty good at 89% especially considering how low i felt.
It's almost been one year since I got diagnosed with CF related diabetes too, which has gone unbelievably fast, and I'm so proud of myself for coping with the injections, since I'm so afraid of them! They haven't been too bad if I'm honest though, and I'm 'lucky' that I only have to inject once a day as its a slow releasing insulin.
My Eighteenth birthday!
Last Month on October 15th I celebrated my 18th birthday! I spent it in Liverpool with my best friends and my sister.
This is such a big milestone to reach, for any CF fighter, and I'm so blessed to have my family and friends behind me and supporting me in everything I do.
For my Birthday, my sister Danni also treated me to Afternoon tea, in manchester, followed by going to see Justin Bieber in concert.
Anyway, that's the end of this blog post, and I will make sure to update soon as I have a few appointments coming up, and will more than likely be transferring to the adult CF unit soon!
speak soon,
lots of love,
Emily xo
