SPEAKER_02: So uh Sunday, uh Super Bowl Sunday is the big uh big 4-0, man.
4:34
SPEAKER_02: Big 4-0.
4:35
SPEAKER_02: So uh it's a day I've been looking forward to for years now.
4:39
SPEAKER_02: Uh man, with my uh my grandmother, she lived to be almost 80, almost 90.
4:46
SPEAKER_02: She died at 89 in September of 17.
4:50
SPEAKER_02: She would have been 90, January of 18.
4:52
SPEAKER_02: So I always told her, I was like, if you can hold on to 90, I'll hold on to 40.
4:57
SPEAKER_02: So we had a deal.
4:58
SPEAKER_02: I was like, if you make it 90, I'll make it a 40.
5:00
SPEAKER_02: So that was our deal.
5:01
SPEAKER_02: I was I was all pumped about about that.
5:04
SPEAKER_02: I was gonna had all these big intentions of throwing her a big party at the Canton Country Club with her friends and everything.
5:10
SPEAKER_02: So I was so excited.
5:11
SPEAKER_02: So I was so disappointed when when she passed away uh at 89.
5:16
SPEAKER_02: And uh, but we all we we laughed after she passed.
5:19
SPEAKER_02: We were like, man, well, she was 89 and four months away, so we'll round her up.
5:23
SPEAKER_02: She died at 90.
5:24
SPEAKER_02: Like we rounded her up.
5:25
SPEAKER_02: So I was like, man, I if I can just make it to 40.
5:29
SPEAKER_02: And at the time, uh of course, um, we had we'd not moved up to start, but we are still in the can, and my health was at that time, as I talked about in the last podcast, it was slowly deteriorating.
5:41
SPEAKER_02: We did not have the miracle drug tricafta out, and I just finished that clinical trial that I talked about that did not pan out, so I was off of any modulators that which are the drugs.
5:52
SPEAKER_02: I didn't have any, so I um so my health was just going down fast, and uh so at that point, you know, I had four more years to go.
6:01
SPEAKER_02: I was 18, I yeah, four more years to go.
6:03
SPEAKER_02: I wasn't sure if I was gonna make it to 40.
6:06
SPEAKER_02: And then when I was hospitalized hospitalized in April of 19, we moved up here um January of 19, and April 19, I got the sickest I'd been in years.
6:18
SPEAKER_02: I then was hospitalized, and it was that during that visit in the hospital where they told me, like, if you can just hold on, just hold on a little bit longer till you can get access to this drug, it's gonna change your life.
6:28
SPEAKER_02: And so at that point, I I really had my doubts that I was uh I'd make it to C40.
6:33
SPEAKER_02: That was my that's been my goal.
6:35
SPEAKER_02: Let's just make it a 40.
6:36
SPEAKER_02: And uh I wasn't so sure.
6:39
SPEAKER_02: And then once uh TriCaplic got approved and I got to take it, then it's been smooth sailing since and feeling great, hardly ever cough anymore.
6:47
SPEAKER_02: So now 40 is uh six days away, but shoot, I'll I'll set a next goal in sight, you know, to keep on going.
6:55
SPEAKER_02: I'm beginning a big in the goal has always been been a thing of mine to reach goals just to set myself to something to look forward to.
7:02
SPEAKER_02: So I wanted to have a uh a big party for 40.
7:05
SPEAKER_02: I wanted to have a big blowout and have everybody there and celebrate because it's such a milestone.
7:10
SPEAKER_02: Of course, it's a milestone in in general, but most people hate turning 40 because they say they're over the hill.
7:16
SPEAKER_02: But man, I treasure it.
7:18
SPEAKER_02: Um, especially every every year that goes by, you know, it's a year I wasn't supposed to be here, so I wanted to have a big party, but stupid pandemic once again gets in the way.
7:28
SPEAKER_02: It's always something with it.
7:30
SPEAKER_02: So I thought of a way 40.
7:32
SPEAKER_00: I'll be 40 in November.
7:34
SPEAKER_01: Yes, maybe.
7:34
SPEAKER_00: I don't think our our other buddies are be 40 in December, so maybe we could have like a big combined party at the end of the year.
7:41
SPEAKER_00: Surely by December or November, we'll we can do something.
7:44
SPEAKER_02: Surely by then it'll get back to normal, I hope.
7:47
SPEAKER_02: So I was trying to think of a way to to honor.
7:51
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I've I know you could probably do Zoom birthdays and all that, but thought of a way to to make it fun uh as a countdown 240.
7:59
SPEAKER_02: So what I did was um I did uh I decided to come up with a every day this week.
8:06
SPEAKER_02: So for the next six days, uh, I'm just kind of uh kind of blogging type deal, but I'm putting it on my Facebook page so everybody can see it.
8:15
SPEAKER_02: Uh just telling the story of different time periods of my life from birth to uh kindergarten, elementary, college, after college, moving up here, getting the drug, um, and just sharing memories and asking people to if they have any memories of me during during that particular time if you're with me or something like that to share it.
8:37
SPEAKER_02: Just a fun way so uh years from now I can look back and say, Oh yeah, that happened then.
8:43
SPEAKER_02: I was with him when we were doing that, and that sort of thing.
8:48
SPEAKER_02: Just kind of a way to journal it to celebrate uh 40 years coming up.
8:52
SPEAKER_02: So uh so yeah, I'm doing that.
8:54
SPEAKER_02: Today was my first post on I talked about my um traumatic birth, which I talked about in the podcast last time, and about uh childhood growing up.
9:03
SPEAKER_02: Uh this is pretty funny.
9:04
SPEAKER_02: I I mentioned uh when I was in kindergarten, uh when my mom picked me up from school one day, uh, came uh had all this sap all over my clothes.
9:15
SPEAKER_02: She's like, Why do you have sap on all your clothes?
9:18
SPEAKER_02: So I was like, I don't know.
9:20
SPEAKER_02: So she called the teacher and was like, John Clark has all this sap on his clothes.
9:23
SPEAKER_02: What's going on?
9:24
SPEAKER_02: And they said, Oh, well, he's been he's been climbing trees behind the kindergarten building.
9:28
SPEAKER_02: Uh uh, my mom said, Climbing trees, and they're like, Yeah, he's the only one out there that's climbs trees, but we don't get on to him because you know he uh because I so I knew I was like I can get away with anything because I was a sick kid, and uh yeah, so we had all these trees back behind.
9:45
SPEAKER_02: Uh if you remember, uh they had a log cabin at MRA.
9:50
SPEAKER_02: Well, behind the log cabin, you know, that's where the practice football field was back in.
9:54
SPEAKER_02: Well, there were all these like pine trees or I guess I don't know what type of tree they were trees and they were had on their sap on them.
10:02
SPEAKER_02: And it was behind that subdivision uh right next to the kindergarten building and in the uh practice field back there.
10:10
SPEAKER_02: And uh yeah, some people climbed them, but man, I went and climbed the trees all the time every day on recess.
10:15
SPEAKER_02: That was my thing to do, climbing trees, and and I come home just covered in sap, and I never got in trouble.
10:20
SPEAKER_02: They said I was just uh they're like, oh, we're not, we're just gonna let him do it.
10:24
SPEAKER_02: So so that was a funny memory.
10:26
SPEAKER_02: I I talked about today on the on the little block thing.
10:29
SPEAKER_02: And uh so yeah, just something to look forward to to turn into recess.
10:34
SPEAKER_02: It's a pretty pretty big day.
10:36
SPEAKER_00: Well, I don't know if you're gonna if you'll cover this one, but I I guess so.
10:39
SPEAKER_00: I came to MRA in fifth grade.
10:42
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
10:43
SPEAKER_00: And I don't remember exactly when we met, but I remember we went out to recess one day and you had you had come back, and I think you had IVs or something, and you had like an IV in your hand.
10:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
10:59
SPEAKER_00: And I just remember like the re the P teacher or somebody said, Everybody needs to come over here and we need to talk to you all about John Clark's uh IVs or something like that.
11:08
SPEAKER_00: Do you remember that?
11:09
SPEAKER_00: They were they were like telling everybody that like you were standing there and and they were like, he's got these IVs in his hand, or I don't remember what it was.
11:18
SPEAKER_00: So do you remember anything like that?
11:20
SPEAKER_00: I don't remember that at all, man.
11:21
SPEAKER_00: That was in uh that was a peak.
11:23
SPEAKER_00: I think so.
11:24
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I can see it plain as day out there, like behind where the um elementary was where we used to go out there and play like basketball and on that playground area.
11:34
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's odd.
11:36
SPEAKER_02: Uh I'm gonna uh it's funny you said that because that that's that's on my uh agenda for tomorrow, the post-tomor, talking about about elementary and and MRA days up till graduation.
11:47
SPEAKER_02: I was gonna talk about that IVs.
11:49
SPEAKER_02: I often did IVs at school.
11:51
SPEAKER_02: The main reason why I actually went to MRA was because it was a small um small private school, and my mom was able to uh teach there on campus at the kindergarten and be right there whenever I needed to do IVs because a lot of the times uh throughout the years, I had to do IVs at school.
12:09
SPEAKER_02: And uh instead of having to go check myself from the hospital to do them, I was able to do them at home.
12:14
SPEAKER_02: And there's something called uh they're called intermates.
12:17
SPEAKER_02: You might remember seeing them.
12:18
SPEAKER_02: They were I had the IV in my arm, and then there was a little baby bottle, like a little baby bottle that I would put in my pocket, and it was uh it was a circular ball inside of the bottle filled with the medicine.
12:31
SPEAKER_02: And then you know when the IV was done, the ball would straighten out and it would just be a straight call, straight line.
12:37
SPEAKER_02: So it took it it ran for about an hour, and I had to do two of them, I believe.
12:41
SPEAKER_02: So um, so yeah, my mom would come over.
12:44
SPEAKER_02: We'd sit on the bench over there at that um between the junior high and elementary building, and she'd hook me up and do the saline and flush me out, and then she'd go back to go back to kindergarten, and then I I don't know how we did it because this was before cell phones and all that sort of stuff.
13:02
SPEAKER_02: I guess we just looked at the clock and timed it for when the medicine, we knew when the medicine was gonna run out.
13:06
SPEAKER_02: So then I'd come back to the bench and uh she'd unhooked me and then I'd go back to class.
13:12
SPEAKER_02: But uh yeah, we did that quite often.
13:14
SPEAKER_02: I was on IVs probably at least once a year.
13:17
SPEAKER_02: So uh yeah, it's it's funny today when I'm on the post about it, when I finally got to go to school, uh, it was in kindergarten and when I was four years old.
13:30
SPEAKER_02: And growing up, my childhood, even though I was born so sick, childhood was very similar to everyone else's.
13:36
SPEAKER_02: And I I always always told my mom, um, I never thought of myself different.
13:40
SPEAKER_02: Actually, I thought everybody else took took pills before they ate.
13:43
SPEAKER_02: I thought everybody did it.
13:44
SPEAKER_02: It wasn't later until I realized, hey, I'm the only one that did that.
13:47
SPEAKER_02: But uh, but yeah, I played, man, I played basketball with an IV in.
13:51
SPEAKER_02: I remember learning to play basketball, doing P, doing sport.
13:54
SPEAKER_02: I just never let it let it get me down, lever, never let it get in the way of things.
13:59
SPEAKER_02: But uh we'd always try to, this was before pick lines.
14:02
SPEAKER_02: When I do IVs now, I do a pick line, which is um they take you to uh back to certain it's not surgery because you're awake, but they take you back to a sterile environment and they run a catheter.
14:14
SPEAKER_02: I think it sits above your heart and it goes back around.
14:17
SPEAKER_02: And they you can use that for the whole period of time that you're doing IV medications, which is usually two to three weeks.
14:23
SPEAKER_02: And um, but back back when I was little, we didn't like they didn't like to do pick lines on me because I was little, and uh it's just something about having a foreign uh object in your body for that period that long a time as a risk of infection and stuff.
14:38
SPEAKER_02: So we would just do like the regular IV catheter thing, and they would last.
14:44
SPEAKER_02: The drugs that I took for CF were so strong that they would blow the veins after a certain amount of time.
14:50
SPEAKER_02: So we were lucky if we could last them for five days, and like I said, they last for um we when I was little, I did them for two weeks every time.
14:58
SPEAKER_02: So a lot of the times we'd always stretch it out like can we make it one more day?
15:02
SPEAKER_02: Can we make it one more day?
15:03
SPEAKER_02: And one time we had this nurse uh in my clinic at UMC, and she wasn't the most uh friendly nurse, but man, she could shoot she could start an IV.
15:12
SPEAKER_02: If I got her to start an IV, one time I had it last over 10 days.
15:17
SPEAKER_02: Oh man, it was amazing, yeah.
15:20
SPEAKER_02: Because they always seemed to go out and blow it at at just terrible times.
15:24
SPEAKER_02: I uh one time I remember I had I was at school and had an IV and it worked, everything was good, and then it went out like at night, and I had to go to the ER at UMC, and one the people on call that night could not start an IV.
15:39
SPEAKER_02: It was awful, man.
15:40
SPEAKER_02: I went back there and they were like, I remember that one of the uh ladies in there was like, oh Jesus, please let me start this IV, let me get it in, let me and then she blew it.
15:49
SPEAKER_02: And I think I got stuck like 10 times.
15:51
SPEAKER_02: It was just like, no, but uh, but yeah, those IVs were a big part of my part of my life and childhood, and I just uh I just never let it get in the way.
16:00
SPEAKER_02: I just continued on, and I guess that's a the whole mentality I've had my whole life to to not let CF try to interfere with what my yeah, I mean that's what that's what's crazy for you for people that know uh Johnny.
16:14
SPEAKER_00: I mean, they know that's how he is.
16:15
SPEAKER_00: And but really, if you don't know him, I mean, like I mentioned, I remember that in school, and he he had those, but he never did anything different.
16:23
SPEAKER_00: I mean, he was out there at recess, he was taking tests, he was doing everything.
16:27
SPEAKER_00: Everybody was doing eating eating lunch with us.
16:30
SPEAKER_00: Didn't seem like he really ever missed that much school.
16:33
SPEAKER_00: Right, kind of fit in like regular.
16:36
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, actually, I got uh a couple years uh running there, I got perfect attendance.
16:40
SPEAKER_02: Wow, which was a big deal.
16:42
SPEAKER_02: Like uh for most people, it wasn't like a big deal, but for me, it was it was huge.
16:47
SPEAKER_02: Uh I was able to make it through the whole year without having to be hospitalized, and uh um so that was uh that was a big big deal.
16:55
SPEAKER_02: And then when I went off to college, I uh I didn't have to do IVs in college, thank goodness.
17:00
SPEAKER_02: But every summer or most summers, I would come home, come home from college and I would uh actually check myself in the hospital, and we called it a tune-up, which is kind of like a lot of people with CDF call it tune-up, it's kind of like uh tuning up a car, but instead we were tuning up our lungs.
17:15
SPEAKER_02: So I would go check into the hospital for two weeks and uh be hooked up to IV antibiotics and uh and do them and clear up my lungs.
17:23
SPEAKER_02: And then that would that held me over for the whole year of college the next year.
17:28
SPEAKER_02: So um it's amazing.
17:30
SPEAKER_02: Look back when I never got sick in college and never had to I had to leave to come home uh for CF reasons and never had to do IVs in Stark Boy College and um but I did that during the summer to try to prepare for for uh for it.
17:44
SPEAKER_02: So so yeah, I mean been a big part of my life the whole whole whole time, ever since I was little.
17:51
SPEAKER_00: Well, that's pretty cool stuff.
17:53
SPEAKER_00: Well, let's let's shift a little bit and uh talk some.
17:57
SPEAKER_00: We we've been tossing this idea around a little bit.
17:59
SPEAKER_00: We were gonna maybe talk about some some hometowns, some some different towns in Mississippi, some places we visited and and places where we have some friends.
