I don't know if they will let me take it again... I have to wait for the results to be sent to the personnel department and they will decide. I think it could go either way. They may see it as improvement and see that I'm trending upwards and let me take it again, or they might say "well...

I got a 70%!! I am so proud of myself for going up so much, but still so disappointed because I'm still 5% short of passing the physical. I remember in high school I got an award in PE for being "most improved". I thought "What a bunch of BS, that just means you sucked really bad, but now...

Well, the personnel department wanted me to go in today and retake the test, but I told them I had to work, so I get to take it tomorrow morning. I'm going to do a few really good treatments with my vest and take a bike ride tonight to hopefully get more stuff up. Kiel, why do you say to...

Guess I should have given some more info before because you guys all think I'm crazy now!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> My PFT's are usually around 70%. I'm in the middle of an exacerbation right now, that's why im only at 44%. I'm on IV meds and I feel like...

I'm in the process of trying to get a job with the city. I've passed everything I need to except for the friggin' spyrometry test for my physical!! I went in last Friday and did it, results were 44% and they had to be at least 75%. They are going to let me go back in today and do it again...

I'm a server in a restaurant and I hate it! I love not doing the same thing every day, I love the people i work with, and it's good excercise, but I hate relying on tips and never knowing if I'm going to make $200 or $20. I'm in the process of getting a job at the police department, working...

We've been trying to think of names for when we finally get pregnant. For a few years now I've known I wanted a boy named Katin Connor, but for girls we don't quite know. We like Reese and Roslyn, though. I like Olivia, but with my husbands name Olmo and our dogs name Oscar, it kind of...

I love circus peanut candy!! My husband thinks they are atrocious and doesn't understand how anyone can eat them... one fell on the floor one time and our dog just sniffed it and walked away and he said "Look, the dog won't even go near that stuff!" But I just love them and buy a bag everytime...

sorry that was me above

One is obviously my wedding in May 2005, the other is me in Vegas May 2006 for our anniversary

I'm currently on both Tobramycin and Cefepime IV meds. They are stored in the fridge, and the instructions say to take it out and let it warm to room temp prior to infusion. Do I have to let it get warm just so it's more comfortable going in, or is there something about the chemistry of the...

When my husband smokes jalepenos it does the same thing to me. Chest feels tight and I cough uncontrollably. We have to open all the windows in the house to air it out. Weird!

Here's an idea that might help a little with the diaper thing...This is what our circle of friends do when one has a baby- The mom gets a baby shower. No guy wants to go to a baby shower with silly games and squeels and giggles all over the place. We ladies love it, but the guys don't. So on...

And yes, changing it every three days has been an average for me. It really depends on how much insulin you load into the cartridge and how much you use, though.

I personally think the needle shots hurt worse. The "harpoon" (as my husband calls it) that I use to insert the catheter for the pump puts the needle in so fast sometimes I don't even feel it. My dad used to make fun of me when I did my insulin shots because I would sit there with the needle...

Okay, let me try this..... The first one is the site with the pump unattached to me - like when I take a shower, swim, or just don't want it on. (It's in my stomach above my hip) The second is the site with the pump attached. Third is the pump in size comparison to my cell phone and a cup of...

There is no surgery whatsoever. You move the injection site every few days, but you do that yourself. If my husband can help me figure out how to post pics, I'll post them of my site and the device used to do inject it.

I've had a pump now for almost 2 years. I HIGHLY recommend it!! Literally, it changed my life. I was never really compliant with my shots, but now since I don't have to do them my sugars are more in control. And I can eat whatever I want- I just cover it with insulin. The only thing that...

I was conceived on March 4 and my parents got married on March 1. I guess I was a honeymoon baby!!

I had my first (and only so far) kidney stone a few months ago. It was extremely painful, but I passed it on my own in about 45 minutes. I wasn't really sure it was a stone because I've always heard of people ending up in the ER when they have them. But nonetheless I took it out of the...
