What a crazy month this was! I started out fairly sick. My CF had slowly snuck up on me and bit me in the butt. I was fairly sick for most of the month ending it with a round of IV antibiotics that started just before Christmas and will end just after the new year begins. I had a very eventful day at the doctor’s office which I will post about later. I learned a lot.

Thanks to my family, I was able to finish my Christmas shopping with their help. The hardest part about being on IVs is my schedule. I have to be at home every eight hours to dose. Along with all my other time consuming nebulized medications, it is kind of hard to get every thing done that needs to be done. So thankful to have such a loving and caring family.

Santa was very generous to Puppy and I. Many singing and squeaking toys and yummy cookies for Bro. For me, a shiatsu massage chair cushion and a Wii!! How much fun!

This year I was very excited to celebrate Christmas ON Christmas. Last year we were buried under several feet of snow thanks to Mother Nature dumping a blizzard just a few days before, so we celebrated on New Years after the snow plows unburied themselves. It was such a mess.

My cousin B graduated college and younger cousin S graduated high school. Hope these boys know how proud we are of them!

New Years was quiet. Stayed at home because my lovely antibiotics were causing some issues. Chest pains, fever and that horrible pins and needles feeling all over. It was fairly scary. I stopped taking one of them that was causing a lot of nausea and it was also the culprit of the scary pains and fever. That was a relief. It is always a relief when you can find out what is causing problems. Since I was not feeling well a friend of mine came over and we watched many episodes of South Park and played The Godfather on the Wii. Although I didn’t feel very well, I still had a good time. But next year, I WILL stay up until midnight!
