I went to the pulmonologist today.

She was thrilled that I’m doing better. Told me now that I’ve got a chance to live a normal lifespan I need to quit chewing food and putting myself at risk for aspiration though. :-/

My pulmonary function tests were great – I think she said 104%, 100%, 88%, and 78%, and all within a good range. (I don’t remember which were which.)

It’s nice to have doctor’s visits where all I had was good news. The adrenal insufficiency diagnosis really has changed everything. She said she’s never seen me looking so good – and I have a cold right now.

I did feel the cold more trying to get up and walk around and go to an appointment than I feel it staying at home in bed, but it’s still within the realm of normal sickness, it doesn’t feel like the disaster that having a cold used to be.
