Thumbs up Hey Brian!
Hi Brian! How are you? Are you feeling better? Still going back to work in June/July? How is your cough?

I will call Dr. I and have HIM call the IV therapy team, cuz' they were "too busy" to be bothered....what a joke!

The nurses ae great, but the IV team just plain sux!

Can't wait to hea from you!
Erin

When I was in hospital in Nov, there was a wife of an old family friend in the room next door. She was in for infection at her PICC line site.

cheers,

Brian

I am doing quite well recently... feeling much better. My cough is tapering but still there. It is only really bad when I'm outside in the cold cold air or immediately after a hot shower (steam). My doc thinks I may be able to return to work in May now - here's hoping April is warm
