    No more IVs this round.

    I just heard from one of the RNs at clinic. My creatinine (sp?) from yesterdays blood draw was a bit high. Not high enough to make them worry, but they want to be safe. So they decided to stop the tobra. I am going to continue cipro for a week longer than originally planned. I'm doing PFTs on...

    CF and brain abcesses

    I copied this study info from Haley Palmer's Caring Bridge site. Haly passed away last week after taking a sudden turn for the worst in October, seeming to regain a massive amount of lung function and then rapidly declining again. Two brain abcesses were found on her head CT before she passed...

    HELP!

    Here is what I think is happening. You tell me if it makes sense to you or if you've had a similar experience. I started IV tobra and meropenem yesterday. Tobra I've had before, meropenem is new. About an hour after my first infusion today I started to get achy. This is not unusual for me...

    Mold/fungus

    I was just thinking that with the high amounts of mold and fungus that grown in my area (hurray for lotsa rain) maybe I should get a mold/fungus panel on my next sputum culture. Am I correct in assuming that this is not part of a normal culture? Tell me all about your mold guys!!!

    Weird home remedy

    I was talking to my mom the other day and she says my aunt's friend swears by this for her arthritis. You put golden raisins in a jar and poor in just enough gin to cover them and eat 10 a day. I'm trying it. Today was my first "dose" so I'll keep everyone posted. They taste pretty horrible, but...

    How do I.....?

    I know this has been brought up before, so sorry for being repetative, but I can't find it. How do I get a pic in my signature?! Make it real "dumb people" instructions too since I am one of those people who really shouldn't be allowed to use a computer unsupervised. Thanks!

    Hilarious!!!

    This little boy woke up three nights in a row because he kept hearing thumping noises coming from his parent's room. He finally approached his mom and said, "Mommy, every night I hear you and daddy making noise and when I look in, you're bouncing up and down on him." His mom is taken by surprise...
