I would prefer, given a choice, to have a mild pneumonia any day over

having an intestinal impaction. The darned things just plain sneak up

on you, or maybe up you, or down you. Do NOT ask me why I did not

follow the advice I so readily give others and call my cf gastroenterolo

gist! I just did not get it until I was about ready to explode. I had

noticed

that I had stopped eating and was gaining weight--very odd. I guess

it was a little different last time it happened. Let me tell you, the stuff

we get here, in the usofa, called Golytely is a joke and an agony--but

not worse than what things were like before they began to deal with the

impaction (details not available on request). So now, I am having a

cocktail of Golytely mixed with Gatorade (for taste and chlorides) every

so often and I think that all is well. I am to have an abdominal ex-ray

tomorrow to make sure that it is all " gone. " Boy, cf is really something

that keeps one busy! So now I am still not eating and have lost weight;

I will not put a thing in there until that X-Ray is over. One would really

think, that at my age, I might have gotten the hang of all this--apparently

not! Well, thank you for all the neat posts! The horrible truth is that I

ac

tually do get sick just like other cf patients. This stalls my sinus

surgery,

though! Hard to get upset about that one!

I really do appreciate everyone on this list; the posts I got privately from

several lists were rather amusing, expecially the comments on well,

" poop! " and cf. Thank you everyone!

Love to everyone at cfparents and do not forget your gastroenterologist!

I am so glad your on track (?) now about the stuff ..I would have said you

were full of ________ , but thought better of it ,It sure did make me laugh

when I thought of that thermally " ole gal " .YES. ---You start following your

own EXCELLENT advise.

You know I am really making fun of it, BUT I do know how really hard that

is for you. It was what was ERIN'S big one & only problem back in Oct...

But her blockage was drug induced .those nut cases kept giving her morphine.

& it just folding over & shut the bowel . WELL .that is out (hahahehe) & now

a new day will begin for you after x-rays. So eat up & feel

great............Tennis ,anyone:):)

LOVE & HUGS, grandmoMBEV

n,

I have not been doing a good job of keeping up with the mesages for

the past several months. I am sorry to hear that you were having

problems. I hope that you are better now and can stay that way.

Thinking of you,

Gale
