Just an update.

Just been to the Docs this morning. Keeping me on Atrovent, it must be working it stops the wheez I get first thing in a morning. I'm still occasionally bringing dark green phlegm up, a couple of times per month I'd say. Dr says she can't hear anything on my chest and it's clear of infection. I've been told that they don't need to see me now for a year when I'll be called in for a check up and a spirometry test, unless I'm unwell that is. So I still don't know my lung capacity and I would be interested to know even though I'm told it's good. I'm exercising every day and walking regularly though this weather at the moment is stopping some of the walking. Having said that my cough has virtually gone and the phlegm isn't as regular as it was. We're told to stay out of situations that can cause execerbations but I'm finding that easier said than done. Everywhere I walk there's smokers, every time I pass someone in the street smoking I hold my breath till I get by them and that doesn't help sometimes depending on which way the wind is blowing. There's certain colleagues at work that smoke and even relatives of mine that'll light up in front of me without any regard whatsoever. It's me that has to move away from them!
