I got a good report from my doctor today. She told that when I last saw her, my lungs were functioning at 49%. Today, they were back to 100%. My ears are still a little infected, but she thinks that they'll clear up in the next couple of days just fine. I feel a million times better and I'm glad I get to rejoin the outside world.
However, the bad news is that she says it's going to take at least 6 months for my lungs to fully return back to normal. That means I can't be too far away from my asthma medicine at any given time, and I'm very susceptible to random asthma attacks. I also have to get a flu shot very soon because she said because my lungs were weakened right now, the chances are very favorable I'll get the flu without it. And if I get the flu, she said I will no doubt in the hospital because of my lungs right now.
Overall, not a bad report. She just said to keep taking it easy and don't think I can be superman just because I feel better. But I am better and on the mend. Wooohoooo.
