Guest guest Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Natalia, Thank you so much for your philosophy. I forwarded to my daughter Steph and she printed it off to read. Also, thank you for sending her an email. I think you might be hearing from her. She was so surprised when she read your philosophy and realized that someone else felt the same as she did. Thank you so much. I hope you will be feeling better soon.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Sorry using another computer I have no idea what happened.Natalia the best (easiest IV )was done in an ambulance .I was in labor with my 7th baby Rebekah ..She had gone poop before she was born so they said in case of emergency surgery we need an IV.I have veins that roll around a lot and I always look like a bruised pincushion. That IV didn't hurt or roll or bruise.I wish they were all like that.Have you ever had a port ? Rebekah has had one since she was 8 months she would blow IV's like up to 4 per day even cut downs and picc lines.Her veins got so bad she was one big bruise.Good Luck with the IV.BeckyB.-Mama to-8--2w/cf--Nana to-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Becky, I think that I am ready for the port, even a pick line. Anything but this. Since it looks like having an IV in my will be a normal part of my life, I have to think about it. Right now I am like one big bruise and I think they might have problems keeping or finding a vain in me still for three weeks. I get it out Christmas Morning. And most likely will be back by February, which I am totally fine with since I am used to it now, but i rather avoid the picking and missing, and bruising, and especially the unnecessary visits to the ER. I am mega scared of catching something there and not being able to bounce back. I hear stories of CF affected people being stable and doing well, and then boom they get something, and their FCV1 falls below acceptable, and suddenly they slip away. And they otherwise should have more time left of stable living. That is the primary reason I resented that the nurse could not do her job at home, that I had to go to the ER without REALLY needing to. But it seems okay now. The swelling is going down, and the bruising too. I can't believe all that happened from one afternoon.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Carolyn, Thanks for writing. I wish you all the luck in the world, and I hope that the sweat test shows nothing. I hope that you are far from CF. But it is good to be prepared. And know that there are many others that face what you are, and can cope, as can you. I don't want to say any more, until you know for sure. I'm thinking of you and Liam tonight. the IV situation is a serious pain in the you know what. As if I need more to worry and hassle with. I agree with you about the IV team. I learned the hard way this weekend. And I like your 'confidently requested'...I think that's a nice way of putting it. I guess its better than throwing a fit. And sometimes I really want to do that. And you are right, it is about making them take responsibility for their jobs. All of us have to do that, but especially when you are dealing with peoples health. Again, thinking about you. Natalia 24 w CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Natalia, If you ever feel like throwing a fit, you just go right ahead and throw it! You've earned that right!!! I never speak up either and then I beat my self up for a long time afterwards for not putting my foot down. I don't know why it's so hard to speak up. I hope that Toni (my daughter) and I both get better at this, for Abby sake. Gale Grandma to Abby (23.5 months with CF) > Carolyn, > Thanks for writing.
