Happy Thanksgiving!!

I hope everyone has a fun, safe day and eat lots of yummy food!! I am actually getting to go to my moms house for a few hours today so I am thankful for not having to spend the entire day in the hospital!

Have a GREAT day everyone! :)

Waiting...

I have been waiting for an hour for medication for my headache.....
I have called the nurses station 3 times......
I am still waiting....

Question of the day...

From my nurse today: "So have you had this your whole life??"

WTF!!! I was like Yeah....I was born with it.

Then she's like: "So why do you need to take enzymes?"

I said: "Well, CF affects the lungs AND the digestive system so I need the enzymes to help digest my food."

Nurse: "Oh well I knew the lungs part but I didn't know it affected your digestion."

I just looked at her in amazement....I mean what do you even say to that? I told my doctor and he couldn't believe it either. He says I might get to move back down stairs by Thursday. I think its pretty sad when I can't get qualified help unless I am in pediatrics!!

Room Change

So my doctor is the same doctor that I have had since I was a kid...which makes him a Pediatric Pulmonologist. When I am admitted to the hospital I am placed in the pediatric ward still which is fine by me! I know all the nurses and I am comfortable being there.

Well, last night a kid needed to be admitted and there wasn't any other private rooms available...so guess who got bumped to the adult floor?? I was really upset and still am not very happy but what are you gonna do. The rooms are MUCH nicer, bigger and newer but I would rather have an old small room with nurses that I know and where I am comfortable, than where I am with nurses that know NOTHING about CF. Seriously, when I say they know nothing I MEAN nothing!

I haven't seen my doctor yet today which is unusual for him...he probably knows I am upset! I am still having headaches and I still feel kind of crappy so I will keep you posted on that too.

I am in the hospital

I just wasn't feeling ANY better and I want to be able to be with my family on Thanksgiving so I admitted myself tonight so that HOPEFULLY I can go to my moms house on Thursday and feel a little better than I have this week!

I have not slept in 5 nights due to my horrible headaches so I am just looking forward to some sleep!! Plus my appetite this week has been pretty much non-existent so I didn't want my weight drastically affected by not feeling good as well.

The only bad thing is that my doc wasn't on call today so I am being admitted by a doctor who doesn't really know my routine but that's ok I will see Dr. Faverio tomorrow! I will keep you updated on how I feel.
