Dear BLF friends,
Took my friend and her daughter out yesterday. She was a joy, laughing out loud on that bike.
Third day antibiotics and respiratory physio.
It is really useful when you have a chest infection.
I thought I would share that with you.
On top of pressing on the chest when you inhale and exhale 5 times each side and on the lower lung, diaphragm level (same breathing exercise) what is new this time since he read the last xray report, where I have a pleural thickening is that he tilts over the shoulder collarbone back and forth when I breathe 5 times each side, that is useful, also when I lay on my side, he presses over the ribs and that works straight away.
I mean you can do the exercises by yourself but not the pressing so I honestly don’t think I could have got rid of this one by myself, I would have ended up with another pleurisy.
I was supposed to do 10 times each side but I have never made it. Of course you do huff and cough and he lets you rest in between. It takes 30 minutes.
I have to take paracetamol although he is not pressing that hard but with an inflamed ribcage I think I am sensitive, never mind my broken vertebrae.
Love xx

What a happy photo Fran, lovely little girl.
It seems as if the respiratory physio is doing you good and you’re responding well. Keep going and keep huffing.
Wishing you well as always. Xxx 💖❤️😘
Yes her name is Kalyssa she cheered me up, called me Mamie which is Granny in French. I laughed and thought she got my age right! But I was so happy.
Thank you Carole I will.
Hope you are not smoked in like Skis!!
Love, Fran xx

Nowhere near poor Skis and I feel for everyone in that area.
Take it easy and relax. Too hot here on the south coast to do much.
Lots of love. Xx 😀🌼🌻❤️
Oh good..sorry for Skis and northern residents.
Im very relaxed. Full of pills and knocked out on my bed watching football 😃
A wonderful excuse to do nothing! 🤞😍
That’s my kind of day! Enjoy!
Xxx 👍❤️💕💕💖😘😴
