This is about me, my love of crafting and living everyday life with cystic fibrosis.

Aggressive action required!
My C.F. Clinic called me Tuesday and told me my sputum specimen finally came back resulting in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Which with my compromised lungs can be fatal if I don't get aggressive. So, I am now on 9 treatment + a day instead of 4, 3 vest treatments too! So, I am having to step off of my diligent crafting till I knock this crap outta me. I knew I was getting sick, was running fevers and I always get terrible eye and sinus infections. I knew I was just feeling worse than normal. I am glad they let me know though before I end up in the hospital. I had to spend a birthday in the hospital a few years ago and it really, really stinks! I just have to get my wonder woman belt and cape out of the closet and kick some pseudomonas butt! Wish me luck cause I don't want to have to break my record. I have not had to be hospitalized for my C.F. in well over a year & a half! I had a hospitalization in May cause of my back. I am scheduled for a back procedure (discogram) Thursday, but am going to call to make sure I can still have it with this infection. I know I am not going to be able to have the big spinal fusion surgery with this infection growing so I may have to go in to get this out of my system quicker with antibiotic therapy. Well, I'm off to bed. I am hoping to feel well enough to get the rest of my outside Holiday Decor up outside before it gets colder than I can stand!
