Went to clinic Thursday

I went to clinic last Thursday and I brought those lab results that I posted on here. My PFT's are down some. This Thursday I will have to go in. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif" border="0"> I have been having problems with my port that I just got in August 2007. It flipped and they had to flip it back over in September 2007. It looks like it may have flipped again. I'm not looking foward to them "playing with it" as the doctor said Thursday. If they can't get it to work I will get a PICC and have to have surgery to get it flipped back over or get a new one. The ironic part of all this is I have a phobia of the hospital since I've had kidney failure. It wasn't just because of the kidney failure but the whole admission. When I go in they have to give me medicine to keep me calm. Right now I am so depressed and not sure what to do. Has anyone gone through something that has made them scared to go in the hospital? With me having CF there's no way out of it and because of the kidney failure I can't do home ivs. I'm sorry this is so long. Please pray that I can get through this. If anyone would ever like to talk to me send me a PM.

I will pray for you to have the strength to face this trip to the hospital. I hope you know that the Lord is watching over you, and we will be praying for you here. Good luck on the PICC, I know everything will work out.<img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

I don't think you are alone in feeling anxious and overwhelmed with the whole hospital thing. I can monitor my heartrate and blood pressure and watch it slowly escalate for just a doctor visit and PFT's. Do you have something fun you like to do that does not require getting up and around that might take your mind off of things? (DS game system, puzzles, knitting)just anythibg. Look for those small things that you can enjoy and focus on those little enjoyments. Maybe even some of your favorite snacks or good magazines.

Sending big hugs your way!!!
