Confession time

Let's make this CF confession time (or even non CF confession time)...

Post the things you do, that either due to your disease/general health/well being, you shouldn't do (or atleast told you shouldn't do). There are no saints, even the hardcore "take care of myself" CF's do atleast something that they probably shouldn't. If you can't think of even one small thing, well...


Anyways, for me:

I have recently (last several months) become very compliant vest wise, during the week I religiously do my vest (with full neb meds) when i wake up, and then when I go to bed...On weekends, either friday night or sat night, I tent to skip one of my night vest treatments. I get home, it's the weekend, and I absolutely am sick of the never ending groundhogs day maintenance regimen...As I am doing now (skipping the night one). Generally (and i'm not making excuses), if I get a real good day vest treatment in, i'll be clear at night when I get home, it's not like i'm way chunky...


Also on the weekend, after a full weeks worth of working 40-60 hrs, I really like having some beers. I know it dehydrates my lungs, but I *REALLY* like Samuel Adams lager. I like it so much, that when I take my first sip of that cold sam adams, I literally chew it in my mouth for like 10 seconds...yes i'm a nut for sam adams. I think i'm also going to get a sam adams tattoo, and coming soon, im going to go to boston and hit that brewery up like a crackhead in a crack wearhouse. I like to generally get a decent buzz, and maintain that buzz and have fun. Preferably with friends and activities, but occasionally solo in front of the PC, chillin to TV and internet.


The last two things I tend to do that I shouldnt: Even though I eat a general healthy diet (no big macs etc), I tend to gorge myself when i'm eating something real tasty. I have always been a general glutton no matter what I do...If it feels good in some way, I abuse it like an addicted rat, furiously hitting the drug filled water bottle/tapping the toggle switch for a new jolt to the implanted electrodes to the sexual areas of my brain <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">. The last...I try my best to stay out of smoky areas, but sometimes (when there are old school friends I havent seen a while, etc) I say fug it and deal with it to be able to have fun...Applies to some concerts as well.


Anyways, theres me...Now share with the group!

I am a social smoker. Never smoke in the house, car, or around my children. But buddy get me out in a bar atmosphere, after the second round of drinks I am ready for a nice smooth Marlboro Light!

It bothers me now though knowing that if one day, God forbid, Jaelyn were to ever need a lung or lobe or whatever, would I be able to give it to her? Even light smoking causes damage but after a cocktail or two I dont seem to care.

Simple answer is stop the occasional cocktail and the social cigs will take care of themselves but alas... I enjoy my cocktails on Moms night out too!

But I am working on it! I am a work in progress and that is better than nothing!

I had a reputation in high school of being a goody two-shoes, and admittedly, I'm still rather straight-edge on most things relating to my health.

I guess if I had to "confess" something about myself and my behavior, it would be that I'm not yet 100% compliant with my psych meds. I'm supposed to take them between 7 and 8 pm so that they kick in by the time I'm ready for bed, but sometimes I'll wait to take them because I want to stay up later.

By confessing this here I suppose what I'm doing is asking for some accountability. I know I can't expect anyone to police my efforts, and that's not what I'm asking. But if you happen to see me online some afternoon, I wouldn't mind a friendly kick in the pants or a reminder to "Take my brain pills."

Oh, and yes, I did take them tonight, albeit 2 hours later than I'm supposed to.
