Back in the saddle again

Hi y’all!
I survived the swine flu. I honestly have no idea how I did though. It was horrendous. I was so weak, I couldn’t even lift a bottle of Poweraide Zero to my lips and needed a straw. Since then it has been hard to get back on my feet again.  I’ve had two rounds of IV antibiotics with about 3 or 4 weeks in between. I’ve never needed IVs so close together before. If any of you cfers are debating on getting the shot, my advice is to GO GET IT!  :)  Just make sure it’s the shot and not the nose spray.
Slowly I will be getting back in the swing of things, more blog posts, replying to email, updating the format of the site like I promised long ago.
More to come!!!

  1. You are an amazing Woman, NEVER GIVE UP! I love your blog….I understand what it’s like to suffer. I have a rare type of CF & Bronchiectasis.

    I’ve been a mess with complications that were dire since the birth of my beautiful daughter last August. I’m currently on 400mg of Avelox, 500mg of Vancomycin, steroids, nebulizer Tx, Vest therapy, Dilaudid, gah…you know the drill. Trying to keep up with the probiotic’s, had CDIFF 3X since December due to all of the restricted antibiotics I’ve had since Hannah was born. So many complications. :(

    3 invasive abdominal surgeries & 3 Blood transfusions in less than 2 months after a 72hr induction, 3 days of epidural that led to Emergency C-section, then Endometritis infection set in after bad C-section, tons of abscess filled my uterus. 12 JP drains, 16 CAT scans, almost died 4 times, 3 bouts of CDIFF, total abdominal hysterectomy, tons of adhesions and scar tissue. I too feel like I’ve been living in a fog. Thank God I NO longer have the PIC line or the drains, the nurses in my home. I just want to be a normal Mommy…all of us who suffer with Chronic illness def need to band together. I’ll be praying for you!
