Today was my first day back to school after being off for over a month. I actually welcomed the routine again! The only drawback was that my body does not appreciate early mornings and I required a 2-hour 'nap' once I got home...

Good day overall, this is my first semester officially being a part-time student, so I'm going to have to adjust to the reduced workload. Not to mention that there is a possibility of the college teachers going on strike for three weeks, so that will force me to get creative with my time.

Tonight I had to do CPT for the first time in months. This is when my Mom "claps" my chest to help loosen secretions. Usually I just use the PEP or Active Cycle of Breathing, but I needed to add a little extra today because I have been hearing and feeling little cracks and pops in my lungs. This concerns me when it is deeper in my lungs because it means I have phlegm stuck--which is an open invitation to infection. So time to step it up and add an extra physio until that is officially cleared!
