I'm Back Again...

This...really...bites. I'm back on the juice AGAIN! This makes the third time in three months! Sorry I haven't stayed in touch, but when I go on I.V.'s I stay with my parents, and because of their antivirus program I can't get the posting script to load over there...

Anyway, I'm back at my apartment now. Another staph infection is once again kicking my ass. But at least they've found the problem. Its my sinuses. They're clogged and have basically become a breeding ground for bacteria. Virtually no drainage, so I'm on two weeks of MORE I.V.'s, and then its into surgery for me to get my second nose job (FESS) done. With all the drugs I've been on in the last 12 weeks, I'm surprised I haven't died of kidney failure yet. Because of all this, my lung function is down to 35%. I have never in my life been that low. I was at 70% a year ago. I think I'm just going to stick TNT up my nose and be done with it...hopefully that number will go back up once this is all said and done.

Anyway, I hope everyone here is doing better than I am at the moment *lol*

You poor thing, that sounds very unpleasant. Im sorry you are going thru iv's again. Hopefully when you get off iv's and out of surgery your lung function will be back up. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

You must be miserable. I hope the next round of IVs and the surgery get your sinuses handled. I'm pretty sure your numbers will bounce back up once you can really breathe through your nose again.

I am sorry you are "back on the juice" that makes me giggle the way you put it... Yuck, I hate it when my sinuses become a cement wall.
