An old friend...

My cough has got much worse and so I went to the GP today. She prescribed an old friend for me - Prednisolone steroid tablets! According to the research I've been doing, this will cure the cough and I'm very much looking forwards to that! I have a short course of 6 tablets for 5 days and I'm counting down the days....

Tests...

I had a whole range of different lung tests today at the hospital. I had to sit in a box (a bit like a shower!) with a contraption to breath in and out of. The tests were mostly OK, but they wanted to be sure that the results were accurate, so each one could be repeated up to 8 times until they had 3 readings the same! Some felt like I was being tested for the Olympic synchronized swimming team because I had a rather flattering blue nose clip and had to take very deep breaths and hold them! I'm not sure if I passed :)

I had hoped that the inhaler would have really cleared up my cough by now, but whilst it did get a lot better, it's now getting worse again.
