    Stress Test

    I had a stress test yesterday for my cardio/pulmonary rehab. I thought my chest and my knees were going to explode. I guess I did okay... figure I will hear the final results (including blood work) later on this week from CF doc. I thought they were going to drain my blood from my body... they...

    Deviated Septum

    I had my nose fixed during my last sinus surgery. It was not a septum but my nose right between my eyes (and a touch below that spot). I didn't have any extra pain. I was a bit more puffy in the face for a little bit longer than normal. I only used Tylenol for the pain.

    cannula keeps coming out at night

    I tried the tape thing. I worked great. My skin is sensitive but I will keep moving it. The tape I have is just sticky enough for it to stay put but no so sticky that it removes any of my skin. It was tape that they gave it during my last tune up ( I am allergic to most tapes but this kind I...

    cannula keeps coming out at night

    I changed cannula on Tuesday. Ever since then the nose pieces seem super shallow in my nose. The nose part keeps popping out at night. Do I have a defective cannula??? I don't usually have this problem. One night I found them down around my mouth and anothe morning they were up by my forehead...

    How big are your lungs?

    I don't think my lungs are longer than normal but.. my rib cage is a bit longer than it should be for my size. I am short but I have a long torso. I had a cardiac nurse tell me this (he was teaching us how to do old fashioned percussion).

    Oxygen at night - terrified

    I just started oxgyen at night due to desatting. It was scary for me too but now that I have been on it a few weeks I LOVE IT. Until I got the creap and crude that I have now... I was enjoying the new found energy and feeling more alert throughout the day.
