Deep breathing.

Lat night I opened a bottle of very chilled champagne, it's been in there a long time, and the Husband popped to the takeaway with a Chinese feast (chicken and cashew nuts for me).

We were toasting the fact that I saw my consultant and he's relaxed about my lung issues and they should clear themselves up over the next few months.  I won't be running any (half) marathons for a bit but I can start on that road.  It's such a huge relief.  You really don't understand how stressed out i've been about this over the last few days.  The worst case scenario in this case was pulmonary fibrosis which can be progressive and just horrid.  But it's not that so lets move on.  I'm still out of puff at the top of a staircase but that should pass.

Given the above, it wasn't the best move of the consultant to open the consultation with the words that 'the results of your lung tests were unimpressive".  Having picked the husband up off the floor, he explained that this was good news.  Further hyperventilation followed when I mentioned a hard vein on my arm and he said casually, "that's just a blood clot".  Again, it's the ok type that isn't going to give me a heart attack.

So, in summary, it's all good and I just have to have regular check ups from now on.

In 'hairwatch' I woke up with baby bed hair today with the light fluff skewed upwards on the side i'd been sleeping.  I remember it looks very sweet on my little nephew but i'm not sure that i'm really rocking the look.  Facial hair is going even crazier though.  I won't have any trouble getting into XXL anymore.
