In The Hospital... Again

So, I'm in the hospital. AGAIN.
I basically hate my life. Apparently I have pneumonia and they are keeping me here for at least two weeks. Which sucks, because a bunch of my friends are leaving for college in the next few weeks and I won't see them till Christmas!
Also, I live three hours away from the nearest CF centre, meaning all of my friends and family are back in town and I'm up here, completely isolated from the rest of the world.
I really hate everything just now.

On a side note, could anyone give me some pointers on give spudum samples? I really am bad at giving them, but the doctors want to know what's growing in my lungs. So, it's either spudum sample or bronchiscopy. And I always end up getting super sick after bronchiscopies.

Soooo yeah. I am very upset right now. Yesterday I was at home and now I'm in the hospital.

Im sorry to here your in the hospital, I know how it feels I just got out from three weeks.

As for your sputum, try taking the sample cup in the restroom with you and try taking a hot shower, at least thats when I uasully cough up the most mucus.

If you ever need to talk im willing to listen

hey i know just how you feel! I'm in the hospital (AGAIN) too and it's getting really old. this place drives me crazy! ugh. even though i'm close to home and my friends and family come to visit me, it still feels like I'm cut off from the rest of the world.

sorry I can't be much help about the sputum samples (i've never had any problems with that!) but hot showers seem to make me cough more too.

i really hope you get feeling better and out of there soon! if u ever want we could talk sometime :)

Thanks guys!
I'm feeling a LOT better now. The doctor says I can go home Thursday!
Wayyy shorter than I was expecting. Usually I'm in here for at least two weeks.
Anyway, thank you so much for listening! It's nice to hear from other people who know exactly what you're going through.
I've had a hard time getting an internet connection, though, that's why it took so long for any response. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
