CF Happens

First stop was for labs and chest X-ray. All labs were good and my chest X-ray was unchanged.

Next up…6 minute walk. I walked 1,222 feet today with no need for oxygen. I believe I walked around 1,050 feet last time, I’d have to look back.

Next up…lung functions. My FEV1 was 0.82L/31%. I’m holding steady.

Last stop for the day…appointment with the doctor. I’m doing well and holding steady. I don’t have to come back for 6 months!! That will be a nice break from every 3 months. Of course, if I need to be seen sooner, I will call them.

Thursday I am seeing the allergist to do antibiotic allergy testing. They want to narrow down my antibiotic allergies because I’m allergic to quite a few. They want to make sure they have a list of antibiotics that can be used post transplant. There may be antibiotics that I’m allergic to that could be a last resort choice if needed. They could possibly try to desensitize me to them along with pre-dosing with Benadryl to make my body not react to them if I were to need them in the future.

I’ll update after my appointment with the allergist on Thursday.

Until next time…
