Fay A. Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I have a new Nebulizer, and the following to go in it: Xerenex, Ipratropium Bromide, and Pulmicort Respules. Anyone have experience with these inhaled medications? I've used a Nebulizer in the past, but the drugs were different. I have to admit that playing the Recorder while using a Nebulizer will be difficult. Thank goodness I have the Bodhran. I hate just sitting around. Oh....the neighbor boy across the street is a drummer. And the neighbor boy up the street is a drummer. Lately, when I'm practicing, I'll hear the sounds of drums from across the street and up the street...and they're answering my drum. This is SO Great...and I can't wait until they figure out the other drummer is a 50 year old woman!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 You go Fay! Soon you will have guitarists, and other musicians following all of the drums and people will be dancing in the streets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginnyde Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I have heard of a Drum and Bugle Corps, but never a Drum and Recorder Corps. But there is always a first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmek Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Too Funny. You just crack me up. Hope these new meds do the trick. I am going to actually check them out and see whats up because i think Mom needs something else in her nebulizer, as Duoneb just dont cut it any more. Take care Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhutch1366 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hey, Fay! I also have a bodrhan, it lives on my wall. The Xerenex ( ? xopenex?) I had was an alternative to albuterol, with less hand tremors. The pulmicort is the inhaled steroids for long term control of the bronchiolitis/constriction, as albuterol is the short term control. The middle medicine I have no idea, unless it is to help you break up mucous and cough. Good luck with the nebulizers, they always made me feel a bit better breathing.... XOXOXOXOXOX Prayers, always... MaryAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaffie Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Sirry, I have no clue about the inhalers you are taking, but I'd love to be there when the three drummers meet Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addie Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I don't know nothing from stuffin' no new meds in no nebulizers, Miss Fay....but it seems to me if the drummers up the road can keep up with you, then honey, the drugs must be workin'!! You're a piece of work, Fay. Dang, I wish I could come to your rescheduled tea party....and I hope you don't mind, but I'm in the process of stealing the idea of it all. Have even picked out and BOASTED to the girls already, about the rhinestone danglie earrings I'm gonna wear to make 'em all envious! They, of course, all want YOU at our party!! The originator of such a fun idea. This is my cyberteam of 14 and I told them about your get-together...and they all thought it was SUCH a great idea. An adult, dress up tea party. So we are going to try to have one...but the problem is....we live everywhere from Nevada to Seattle to Ontario to Connecticut!! We might miss a couple...but we'll try to work it out. Anyway, glad you have some new weapons and hope you're feeling better each day, and playing without too much difficulty. Let us know when you and the drummer boys start collecting groupies. The age span is gonna be the same as your tea party group....eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Can't help you on the med's but had fun picturing the neighborhood. All the best to you, Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay A. Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 Thanks for the info on the medications. As far as the Ladies' Night Tea Party is concerned, anyone is welcome to take the idea and run with it as fast as one can wearing heels.... Actually, our Snowflake came up with a great idea. She suggested that after dinner the group should play indoor minature golf, or go bowling, or some other 'formal' activity! Yep, minature golf in high heels and sparklies sounds like my kind of night! As far as the drumming goes....I'm actually taking a college class for this. In late May we will be presenting a concert to the community. And when we do the Drum Circle I'm going to try to have someone record it. It's primitive, and very powerful. I'll think about having some pictures taken at the concert. I'll be the one dressed as a late 16th Century Female Pirate. One of the neighborhood "drummer boys" is actually in his early 20s. He found out earlier today that it is me on the drum at my house, and he's offered to sort of 'tutor' me. What a neat kid! The offer to tutor was a very nice way of saying "Lady, you need help!"LOL Maybe this summer I'll start my own "Garage Band". LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teresag Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Ipratropium Bromide: airway smooth muscle relaxant. This means it dilates the airways by loosening up the constricting grip of the muscles that surround them. Xerenex does not show up in any of my searches. Sp? Fay, everyone's said it already, but you are one of a kind. A real treasure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay A. Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 Xenerex in "Real People Language" is Xopenex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remembering Dave Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Fay, true musicians love and respect other true musicians. I have no doubt these guys will think you rock, no holds barred. these things I've learned from my wonderful husband, who for 13 years made his living as a musician. I want to see the videotape of your concert. Nope, I want to come for it. I kept thinking before Dave's current recurrence that this spring he and FAith and I shoujld take a long weekend plane ride to California and try to meet you, visit Becky, catch up with Andrea, etc. and who knows, we may do it yet, Dave's chemo only lasts into May! Keep us posted! Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
