Clinic Appointment Today

My clinic appointment was today, and I have to say that I was a little nervous about it due to the lack of exercise in my life lately. The good news is, I was wrong to be worried, because my lung function actually increased! In May, my lung function had fallen to 52%. It was extremely disappointing, but time had gotten away from me with all of the new stuff popping up in my life. The summer continued to follow the same pattern of being super busy, so I wasn't sure what to expect when it came to today. So, the results of my PFT today was..... drum roll.... 60%!!!!! I am back on track!

As I already mentioned, I have not been exercising like I should lately. I have a plan in place to fix that. I signed up for my first 5k run! It's a color run, so it will be a lot of fun, and it is October 6th. I figured that if I went ahead and signed up for one, I would have no choice but to train for it! To go along with that, my goal for my next appointment is 70%. 10% is a big jump, but I think I can pull it off if I really put everything I have into it! My next appointment is November 21st, so I have plenty of time to work on it.

Happy Wednesday!

New Update

Today was my clinic day.... As most of you know, I have been working pretty hard at trying to get my lung function up. My biggest motivation for doing it is because one day, I want to have a child, and we have decided that we will only do that if I am healthy enough. I'm not even sure what "healthy enough" looks like, but I know that it is higher numbers than I have right now.

Anyways..... drum roll please....... My numbers are now:
FVC 82% and FEV1 54%

That is up from FVC 70% and FEV1 45%

I will take that improvement any day! My next clinic appointment is February 1st. My goal for that one is to have my FEV1 up to 60%. Is it possible? I really don't know, but we will sure find out! :) I've got a lot of hard work ahead of me, but I think I'm up for the challenge!
