Now That’s A Mouthful

medications

As you can see from the picture there are quite a few medications I take on a daily basis, almost 100 pills. Honestly I don’t care,  I am breathing on my own and no longer “shaking” with vest treatments. I am still having weekly blood draws to make sure I am receiving the correct dosing as it takes the body a while to adjust to everything new. Up until today I had to refill my med box every week, but I have become stable enough that I was able to fill a whopping three weeks worth! It is the little things that make life easier with my new lungs. I am so grateful for every breath I take and every pill I swallow.

    The best part is to hear your cell phone sound like a shaking pill bottle, you head to your meds and down a colorful array of life saving pills! Yee Haw! What a unique reminder.

    It was good to see you Monday night, as you look good, even in a mask! When someone asks you what you do all day, you could say, “I take pills!” I still take about 30 a day and that’s after almost 7 years. I just take them in a big hand full! Keep on getting better!

    You’re once again an inspiration. I have to take 4 pills a day and think that’s annoying. It’s time to shut it now. I will take them with pleasure. 🙂
