.

*gasp* You're pregnant?! You almost beat up the cop who was about to give you a speeding ticket as you were rushing to make it to your appt cause it was such a massive PMS?! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>On the up side, my numbers were still just above my baseline from last year, but down from the last 6 months (last time fev1 was 56%, this time it was 48%). However, I have decided to be thankful that I had a 48% on a bad, tight, pms day (instead of on a good day), take my Tobi, Bactrim, Cipro, and get back on the wagon with my sinus rinses, and hope and pray for improvement when I go back in 2 weeks to do pft's again. It's it's not better then, then I will be depressed. And most likely be being fitted for a picc line. Oh, and I wasn't tight anymore and was barely coughing when it was time to leave. I almost had them redo my pft's. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
Oh well.</end quote></div>
Oh Well...I wonder if being a bit anxious about the appt may had something to do with the tightness? Or, maybe the time away from the kitty-hair gave you that much time to loosen up?
I was just curious if the appt was in the morning or afternoon, and whether you are able to make it in the afternoon, and get out in the morning for fresh air, maybe some shopping (even if its just "window"), relax a bit before the appt?
Or does it have to be in the am where you are just starting to adjust to the day, including your insulin intake?
I hope the next visit can avoid the nasty PICC!
