Laughing

[cysticfibrosisgirl]

~HI~
It can be very hard for me to laugh sometimes. My lungs are at 60% and that does not feel good. I love to sing but just this last year or so I can't sing well at all. I just start to get real out of breath and cough. I aways have this mucusie cough (says my mom) she's like do you feel ok today? I am like no I never feel that great in my lungs.

I love Amy Grant so thats what I like to sing to if my lungs will let me. I also have a hard time with doing my PFT testing. Everytime I do it there like blow out very hard and fast, and I start to cough and after it's over I get sooo out of breath. Then my mom is like, you did not seem to blow very hard? LOL!

Now she understands that it's hard to do when you have CF. (???) Do any of you go to R.T. Resprotory Therapy doing the week and do stuff like walk on a tred mill and work out with an RT? I went to an RT for a few weeks and she told me my PFT's would go up when my RT was over!?

I'm like you think my PFT's are going to go from 60% up to 112% if I do RT?
That's all.

One of my students made me laugh today!! It was honestly the first time in over a year that I really laughed. I didn't cough either! I know it was a one time thing but it really made me feel so much better. And my cough DOES sound different. I didn't know that until now. Very strange

I used to be able to laugh hard and not end up with too terrible of a cough, but the last few years I end up gasping for breath and coughing up a lung...at least that's how it feels. Even though it's annoying and a pain it really is good for you. I remember I had tested my peak flow before I visited my bf and it was at 350 and then when I came home, after a severe tickling attack and tons of coughing, my peak flow was at 400. I feel less junky if I laugh like that on a regular basis...but sadly I don't anymore...no more bf=no more tickling, lol. But sometimes I do, if I see something funny. But now thinking about it sometimes people would be laughing at something that was really funny and that I thought was funny and could laugh about but instead I'd just smile...I think I must have decided that it wasn't worth the effort to laugh about.
