UCecilia Williams ukhathazwa yi-aspergillosis ekwimo ye-aspergilloma kunye neChronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CPA). Kwesi sithuba, uCecilia uthetha malunga nendlela olulula kodwa oluthe rhoqo lokuzilolonga oluncede ngayo ekuphuculeni impilo kunye nempilo yakhe.
Ndikhuphele isikhokelo sokuzilolonga (iyafumaneka apha) ngoSeptemba kulo nyaka. Amanqanaba am eoksijini ayemanyumnyezi, kwaye ndandifuna ukwenza uhlobo oluthile lokubuyisela imiphunga ekhaya. Ndamangaliswa kukuba umthambo okwinkqubo wawuza kwenziwa yonke imihla, njengoko iinkqubo zangaphambili zemiphunga esibhedlele zazisenziwa kathathu kuphela ngeveki. Nangona kunjalo, le nkqubo yayilula kakhulu.
Ndenza umthambo wokuzolula imizuzu embalwa phambi kokuzivocavoca, kwaye ngoku ndiye ndazisa ii-weights eziyi-2.5kg, kodwa ndiza kuzenza ngaphandle kweentsimbi xa ndiqala. Ndiqale kwelona nani liphantsi lee-reps zokuzilolonga kunye nokuma kwaye ndiye ndonyuka kancinci ukuya kwiiseti ezicetyiswayo. Ndithatha ixesha lam ukwenza imithambo njengoko ndikwazi ukuphefumla, kwaye ixesha elithathayo lixhomekeke kuhlobo losuku endinalo. Ndiqhekeza inyathelo lemizuzu engama-30 libe mbini; enye into yokuqala ekuseni kwaye enye emva kwesidlo sasemini. Ukuba ndithatha uhambo ngaphandle, ndenza nje eminye imithambo kwaye akukho nyathelo lesiqhelo. Ndenza umgudu wokunikela ingqalelo ekuphefumleni kwam njengoko kubonisiwe kwitshathi. Ndisebenzisa iindlela zokuphefumla ezicetyiswa nguPhil (iNgcali yePhysiotherapist yeZiko leSizwe leAspergillosis, ividiyo ezikhoyo apha), ibiyindlela yam yokufumana ukuphefumla kwam kubuyele esiqhelweni.
Ukuqala kwam le nkqubo, amanqanaba am okusasazwa kweoksijini ayesezantsi. Ndandiphefumla ixesha elide, kwaye ndandiza kubandezeleka imini yonke kukuxinana okumasikizi kweempumlo kunye nokuthontsiza kwasemva kweempumlo – ndandisoloko ndibila ngeekristale zementhol. Ukubandakanya umthambo kunye nobuchule bokuphefumla kwindlela yam yemihla ngemihla (into yokuqala ekuseni kwigumbi lam lokulala kunye neefestile ezivulekileyo) ibe nefuthe elibi. Ukuxinana kwam kuyacinywa lula ngaphandle kokuqhunyiswa. Ndiyakwazi ukuphefumla ngakumbi kwaye ndibambe umphefumlo wam ixesha elide. Ndiqaphele ixesha elithathayo ukuba ndibuyele kwiziqendu zomgangatho ophantsi weoksijini kunye nokuphefumla kuye kwaphucuka. Ndenza yonke imithambo etafileni; ibhalansi ibalulekile, kwaye ngokuhamba kwexesha nokuziqhelanisa, ndiyaphucuka – nangona ndingekaqali ukuyenza ndivale amehlo – andikayi apho! Ndiyathemba ukuba ukubhala i-akhawunti yam yeenzuzo nokuba ezona nkqubo zikhaphukhaphu zokuzilolonga kunika abanye ukuzithemba kunye nenkuthazo yokuba benze inkqubo yokuzilolonga ekhaya.
Ukuba ufuna ukwazi ngakumbi malunga nokwenza umthambo nge-aspergillosis, iNgcali yethu yePhysiotherapist uPhil Langdon unentetho efumanekayo ngokusebenzisa yethu. Ijelo lika YouTube apha.
