It’s that time again…

Had a CF clinic visit today. I have been feeling a little cruddy and tired recently. My cough has become more of a nag and more productive, so I wasn’t surprised when the Doc suggested I do another round of IV antibiotics. Usually I only have to do this once a year, but I just did my last round in December. A bit frustrating, but this is life with CF.

For the past, oh say, 10 years I have done my once-a-year “tune-up” of IVs at home, doing my own treatments and having a nurse check on me every few days. This time I have decided to go in to the hospital for the first several days so I can take it easy, have food made for me and have someone beat me four times a day. I hope the rigorous treatment will knock the bugs in my lungs on their arse!

Wonder if the hospital has a wireless internet connection. If not, it is going to be a really boring weekend! Sad I am going to miss the Railbenders headline their first gig at the Bluebird in Denver…. can someone video record it for me?!! :D hehehe Oh well, good thing I saw Jim and Johnny play last weekend, so maybe I won’t go into withdrawal. ;)

Here’s a video of the boys playing a cover of Sundown with Roger Clyne. It’s a little noisy, but the crowd is having so much fun!! (yep! One of those screaming was me!!) I just looove Jim’s voice! Hugs to ya Johnny! Can’t wait to see you again!

  1. Something that I am soooo glad I took with me was my pillow and a blanket. Just those little touches of home that made my stay a little more tolerable.
    I would die without my laptop! So happy that the hospital had wireless internet. A lot of websites were blocked and I couldn’t get into a chat or IM program, but I could still email. That was enough to help me get by!

    Jesse - Good to hear that you are feeling better! :D

  2. Hey, fellow IV’er!

    I hope you bounce back as fast as I did. I’m on my 6th day and feeling darn near 100%. Better than I remember, once again.

    My wife said you posted a question on the forums about what to bring to the hospital. Here’s my usual list:

    Pajama pants, sweats, t-shirts, boxers, socks (getting a pattern going here), paperbacks, crosswords, laptop, all of my oral meds, bathroom kit, fruit Newtons, and Sour Patch Kids.
