In the 9 years we have been in the pit Mrs A , an asthmatic , has seen a reduction in her lung capacity from 80% to 51% we discovered just recently!
This obviously was the cause of some pretty serious discussions about wtf etc!
To be honest I was in shock, thinking I was about to loose my best friend and lover! My sentiments towards this region became more than a little extreme!!
Fast forward and Mrs A is seen by a respiratory consultant at the City Hospital and is put on a new drug. Within a month her lungs regained over 20% which was miraculous .
We are now waiting to see how 3 months in the Blighty countryside will compare when she gets her lungs checked out again in Seotember.
Contingency plans are cocked ready to fire should the needs be then.
Sadly one bucket is much fuller than the other, non aromatic , one!
