‘‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”

You never fail to entertain and provide a boost on this forum. Thank you and Merry Christmas and healthier 2021 to everyone! ( typing this as I nebulize and "thump")

Did you scare the reindeer? St Nick didn't stop here either - the combined "wreeping" of the current herd of 4 guinea pigs undoubtedly scared them away.
Merry Christmas to all!

“Wreeping.” Sue, that’s a term a word junkie can really appreciate. And thanks gej, but I’m getting plenty in the bargain. I’m more than a bit of an attention seeker. Don

Hmm, wonder if I can use it in Scrabble? Definitely their best attention-seeking or alarm sound! Right now they're all quietly enjoying their breakfast of fresh romaine lettuce.

Merry Christmas to all

Hi everyone, Merry Xmas to you!

Merry Christmas everyone and to Thumperguy for his cheery Christmas greeting that few outside this forum would appreciate. I thank everyone for sharing their experience and knowledge as I learned more about this disease and how to “help” my doctors manage it as well as possible. And thanks for the word - wreeping. I am an avid scrabble player and it’s always nice to have a new word to play.

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year!

Hi Kathy & Don - my husband and daughter say the are "wreeting" even though they clearly say "wreep, wreep, wreep" to me! That's what the herd greeted me with this morning when I delayed their breakfast by sleeping until 7:45. They also "wreep" when I use my nebulizer in the kitchen - my husband asked me to move it and I told him I will move when the piggies pay the bills.
Sue

sue how are you how long have you been using the nebulizer? I have been on for 9 days I'm having a hard time with all of this but I know I have no choice just need some positive feed back from this all. your post did make me smile about your husband, and the bills hahah

I get the same reaction if I use my nebulizer in the kitchen!

To Jennifer (jr2366) - I know you were asking Sue how she adjusted but i thought I’d add my experience. I found the first few days/weeks to be the most challenging, in adjusting to airway clearance taking up to an hour in the morning and in the evening (after I decided to do it twice a day). I’ve come to accept that this will be a part of my life and I’d rather do this than be on medication again; I was on the Big 3 for 6 months before I developed tinnitus and lost hearing in my right ear. After hearing about other people’s experience, I am grateful to be able to manage with just this twice daily imposition to my day.

I hope you will find this forum as helpful as I have as the information and support make this disease a little more tolerable.
