Sue, you asked, “have you put ole Thumper out to pasture for good?”

It’s enough to make one weep but truth is the storied Thumper is spending its days in a dark, lonely closet; an ignominious fate ushered to center stage by that impertinent late arrival, Nebbie the nebulizer. When word got out that when it comes to controlling MAC infections, sweet little Nebbie can “kick butt” by fogging out clouds destined for my lungs heavy laden with 7% saline.
Use lower saline strengths and MAC may point at you and probably giggle.
Amp up to 7% and MAC will likely head for the hills. I usually do it twice daily; keeps me out of trouble too except when I neglect to “pick up” after myself. Don
