Im sorry you have to go in, but at least when this round of iv's is done you should feel better. Make sure to wipe everything down with disinfectant wipes and if you forget to bring some ....ask the nurse for a box of alcohol wipes. Hope you feel better soon <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Drinks, drinks, drinks.....I am always asking for & drinking more then what is easy to get. I asm also not referring to alcohol. I do make a point of drinking the water, but I am talking something tasty like juices or ice teas. The CFers here get our own fridges for our rooms so we can store food/drinks etc. COMFORTABLE clothing. I am a low maintenance type gal so dont have much to offer except what was said. Good Luck!

Good luck Sonia, are you able to get to a computer? We'll be thinking of you. Hope the week goes by fast, and the PICC will make everything easier.

Thanks for the well wishes, guys! I was in the hosp. for a week and then they let me go on good behavior with home health for the holiday. I will be venturing back to Salt Lake (5 hours each way.. yuck) tomorrow to have the final appt. and PICC pulling Weds.
I have been feeling better. Still coughing some stuff up, but not as much. I also have a bit more energy, although its still tough to do much cause they have me on continuous IV antibiotics... no breaks at all! This is different for me cause usually I could unplug for a bit and run errands, etc., but this clinic believes in continous and weaker antibiotics for a full 14 days instead of the peaks and troughs you get when you do a full dose and wait several hours with nothing... Its actually a pretty cool concept and I feel pretty good. I'm on aztreonam and tobra IV and cipro (yuck!) 500 mg. 3X/day. So, I'm on some goodies! I wasn't getting better the first week, so they added the cipro. I'm usually resistant to cipro and tobra, but apparently these cultures were different, so that's cool.
Anyway, just a little update and thanks again for ALL the great responses. You guys are soooo great!
Emilee: I think I may have seen you when you were "let out" walking to the elevators with your hubby and daughter (adorable by the way!).... I was the one walking from the "kitchen" with a snack. Did you see me?!?! Anyway, wish we coulda "chatted", and I had all intentions of getting on here to say hello and which room I was in, but could not remember my password on the chat! Sorry it took me this long to respond! Are you feeling better???
