Hello to you in UK. I have a wonderful memory of being in the UK. In London way back in the mid eighties at Christmas visiting my brother who lived there for a short time. Woke up to an unexpected snowfall the morning we had to catch a flight out to the USA....It was such a surprise when we opened the door to leave the flat. W all said in surprose "It snowed." ..... and then begain our treck to the to the train, with snow under our feet, and to the airport. All worked out very nicely however.
It is time consuming and a chore trying to keep everything from invading our lungs. I am still quietly and not nervously working my way to a decision about taking or not taking the antibiotics. Yes I wonder about that also....if we don't begin the antitibiotics....the chances of getting cavities or the infection growing more or we might just be able to keep it at bay or slow it down with what we do for ourselves. From what I read nodules and cavities can develop for different reasons and yes due to infections.
It would be great if I can hold it at bay and go another two or more years without the antibiotics since I have not had a "full" blown exacerbation and feel well. It is the need to clear the throat of what comes up nearly all day, especially after I eat.
Yes the best thing for all of us....stay positive and have faith in ourselves.
Barbara
