i found the cure for diabetes....

I have found the cure for diabetes while living out here on the west coast....the cure requires you to leave your apt at 8am and don't come back till 5:30pm...what are you doing in all this time? Walking, walking, walking everywhere. I did have errands to run, dr's to see until 11am, so really it was only like 4 or 5 hours of walking, but ask me how much insulin I took yesterday, while I ate my ice cream, my hot chocolate, my pizza for lunch, my bagel for breakfast, and my sweet potato for dinner (all carbs and all usually requiring insulin) I took NOTHING all day. It was one of the nicest days ever not to get poked with every meal I had. My sugars all day long were 7.6 and 7.8mmol.
Take that diabetes, up your ziggy with a wa wa brush.

I went to the vancouver transplant clinic. They are really nice. Much smaller then Toronto, which I am enjoying since I'm impatient to get outside and do things, rather then sit in a blood lab, sit in a waiting room to see the dr. all this sitting around. I'm glad it's in an out. They see 6 patients a day in the morning. Super fast, compared to what I'm used to in Toronto.

In BC they've started practising putting all their patients on azithromax. I liked this idea immediately, since before transplant I was on azithromax for inflammation.
I have rejection...which essentially is inflammation. Why not go on azithromax to help stave off rejection? Hey if it was him, the dr. out here, he said he would want to go on it if he had a lung transplant. Why not try everything you can to keep these babies perfect, happy, healthy and pink?
So the acute rejection, coupled with this annoying nagging cough and little bit of sputum I've had, we decided to start me on azithromax. Perfect. Lovely.

My lung function yesterday was back up to 2.01liters. My WBC was back down to 8.5. My haemoglobin was at 105...the only thing I can complain about is my creatine, kidney function was running at 110. A smidge high for my liking.
Also for all you other cystics out here, my tac the last two weeks, they keep trying to raise it, but it's still staying at 4.7. Could it be the domperidone they started me on? flushing the tac out of me before it can get absorbed? Any thoughts, suggestions?
