The filling went fine, I only needed one in the end and that needle they use to put your local in is tiny and hardly hurts! The most annoying part of the whole process was having a numb mouth for about 4 hours afterwards! The dentist left my chair up a little so I wasn't flat on my back as that would have made me cough, not good when she is in the middle of drilling in to your tooth.
I am back to normal now off the steroids, so no getting up at 5am or having enough energy to take over the world. It's a shame really, I did enjoy it whilst it lasted!
Three Saturdays ago we went to an engagement party at an Italian Restaurant which included a delicious buffet. The problem was that stupid moi forgot to take my nutrizym with me that I need to digest my food. Therefore I knew if I ate loads I would get a horrible, sore bloated belly and spend many smelly hours on the toilet the next day! So I ate some and then had to sit and watch everyone else stuff their faces with pizza and pasta, so unfair! It seems I drowned my sorrows by drinking too much and ended up going to this pub near where I live afterwards with my friend where I did lots of chair dancing. This is dancing whilst sat in a chair as you know if you do proper dancing you will get out of breath and cough loads which is very embarrassing.
The week after we had two of our friends from University come up from Cambridge and stay over. We all went for meal on the Saturday night with my brother and his girlfriend (who we also went to Uni with) then on the Sunday we went to Sheffield to meet with some other Uni friends. It was nice to catch up and see how everyone is doing.
On the Monday (last Monday) I was very tired and Tuesday morning hey presto I woke up with a cold which I still have. I went to Outpatients on Friday and my fev1 is still 41% so unchanged however my fvc has fallen, my weight is up a kg to 53.5kg and my sats were slightly low at 93%. They were ohhing and ahhing about if I should go on IVs, I said I felt I didn't need them yet so they flushed my port and took some blood to check my crp (infection) level and are supposed to be calling me today. I do feel rough (I hardly did anything last week, just stayed in and had lots of naps!) and I'm scared I will get ill again like before Christmas, so I think I am going to go on them, I'll see what they say when they call anyway.
Last Thursday was my Birthday! I got lots of money which I am saving to go on holiday, some clothes vouchers and some toms (shoes) from Pete. On Saturday we had a house party, lots of people didn't turn up because it just had to snow the day of my party, typical! Pete went to pick my brother up and got stuck at the bottom on a hill on his way there! I was seriously panicking nobody would turn up but thankfully they did and Pete managed to get out eventually and come back home! The theme was the 90's so it was all 90's music and I also did a 90's quiz, obviously fancy dress was a requirement too!
I said in my last blog I had a few busy weeks coming up and I did! I guess IVs was to be expected in a way so I'm not annoyed really, I think I was allowed to have a few fun weeks since I didn't really get to have fun over Christmas!
