Yeah Colleen, I was later than usual getting my second “thump” of the day and that whimsical thought came along. I impulsively decided to post it. I tend to use humor to combat the drudgery, really the outrage of this damnable ailment hijacking an hour+ from my life every day

Hello Don and Flib! I hear you Don, about our time being 'hijacked'. I complained to my new dr at Mayo last week and confessed that I have neglected my last two months of inhaled toby treatments due to medicine fatigue. She took me off all antibiotics of which I have been on monthly since 2013. She said to try going without for awhile and see what happens. She did say to stay the course with albuterol and the inhaled saline. It was her opinion that good, dedicated, lung hygiene was the best thing we can do with this disease. Now that I am off of all antibiotics, I plan to be hyper-vigilant about my lung hygiene.
