I apologize for not following through with the April 9th progress report. Clinic was not good and I slid into a bit of a down phase.
My lung function is now lower than it was prior to my hospital admission despite anything I tried to do. Oh right.. what I tried to do lol... I was exercising. I had a whole plan mapped out. It was a modified program to gradually increase exercise time and resistance for I believe 12 weeks total. I was using my stationary bike. I also had a weight-lifting plan as well.
As predicted, as soon as I got the bad news, I dropped everything. I've really never gotten much headway from ivs for one reason or another, and therefore this cycle happens everytime I go in.. but this time was certainly the worst since I tried harder than ever before.
Anyhow, I'm now focusing more on the anxiety aspect of my health. I'm trying to be busy.. I'm trying to see more people and go out more socially. I'm trying to get exercise from doing chores and feel the satisfaction that comes from getting things done. I'm also working on some mindfulness techniques to handle stress and anxiety.
All in all.. I'm ok... I'm just trying to change how I measure success in my life.
