Back in business
I am typing away at 1.30 in the morning. Actually I am trying to pluck up the inspiration
to write some more essay but find instead that I am concentrating miserable on other
rubbish. However, things are looking up in general terms. I have Internet access
at last, although we still have to move the modem/router from room to room because
the signal does not carry. I managed to solve a horrible problem with MS Office
eventually without having to reinstall Windows (hint: think twice before following
"solutions" on the Microsoft site). And I managed to fix Blog (the program
I write this in) so it will actually upload to the website again.
Finally, I have actually got back to my essay. I had one false start - truly false
since I misread the question - but I have found that once or twice a week in the
cool hours of the night I can actually get a bit of concentration in. And it is
spreading. With a lot of fighting myself (I hate writing factual stuff!), I hope
that maybe, just maybe, I will actually be able to finish my two outstanding modules
and then really I only have my dissertation. Well, I can dream.
In the mean time I have been learning how to make online databases. Still cannot
get them to edit online, but I am mostly there. Whee! And I seem to have had the
energy to do lots of other projects.
Healthwise... well, it has been hot. All CF patients seem to be suffering form the
usual symptoms - thick sputum, sweating salt. The solution is similar for me as
for everyone else - take lots of salt tablets, water and shade. The cooling herbs
also have an added benefit. Considering my lack of exercise (I stopped evening gym
sessions to focus on my Masters... well, that was the idea), I have a good appetite.
I still have no Itraconazole, but I have stopped asking for it. I just gave up,
frankly. I seem to have reasonable energy, although I am certain that my lung function
is generally low. But then everything I tried for that did not seem to help, including
the exercise.
I have also been to see the Osteopath a lot recently. Maybe one of the reasons I
suddenly seem to have so much energy is the amount of stretching and relaxing he
has done around my upper back and diaphragm. I certainly seemed to help clear the
lungs.
