"If You Can't Be With the One You Love . . .

Honey,

Go to CVS.

That's right. Go to CVS." (I have been told that those are the original lyrics to that song).

When I am not feeling good, there is simply no better place to venture to, than CVS. (Or Walgreens, or !!really!!, Osco.) After Cystic Lady's transplant, one of her very favorite things to do was to go to the pharmacy to get her new meds, and also many things that can enjoyed, both medical, consumable, and beautification related.

Tonight's purchases and also the highlight of my day: blood pressure taker thing; gummy bears; Vitamin B; Excedrin; and new eye makeup for green eyed Cystic Gals.

I might feel bad, but boy I look pretty :)

Goodnight y'all. I hope to send a good blog out tomorrow. Love, CG

    nothing like drugstore cosmetics to distract one from one's inability to breathe, if only temporarily. CVS is a personal favorite of mine as well, partly because I get so much free money with extrabucks, and partly because it's about the only place outside of clinic that I don't feel the need to explain myself, symptomatically.

    Plus, I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a bit of a VIP-ish rush from being known, and knowing they keep a stock of my weird CF meds so they're just always there when I need them. I'll take VIP status in just about any place and form I can get it, I guess.

    3 cheers for green-eyed cystic gals, and the fabulously cheap cosmetics that make our days (and eyes - ha!) a little brighter! :o)

Let me thank you for the nice comments on my first guest blog on Cystic Gal.  I am also grateful to be able to have a forum to share these experiences. As such, I thought I'd write a follow-up.  There is another side to this story.  I will attempt to tell my version of it without using too many cliche's, but it may be hard because love is the most written and talked about topic in the history of the world. Love is a wonderful part of life.  I think I can go so far as to say, it is the reason for life.  It is indeed a real shame to go through such lengths as a lung transplant to continue living, to then deny yourself the chance for love.  The same way that I weighed the risks vs. rewards of a lung transplant, is the way that I have to weigh the risks vs. rewards of love. I have said before that I'd do everything again, the whole year of dying, the surgery, the recovery, for just one of those days after transplant that I didn't have to think about breathing.  Not

Hello CGers!!! It's me. Boldly, bravely, I let my Dad bring me my laptop for tonight. I have been enjoying a computer hiadus, but wanted a little time to write to you y'all and doodle on internet. Who knew I could go a whole month without my laptop? WHO KNEW!? Well, I've been busy. And tomorrrow is already my transplantiversary!! ( one month). My surgery started on July 27th and ended on July 28th! I know there is a lot to explain about all that has happened but I'm not gonna handle all that tonight. Just recent news and such. So, it looks like I hope to get out of the hospital next week if we can finally figure out everything with my lymphatic system. I started eating this week, and long and short, it agravated my lymphatic system a bit, again. (Not at all like before, but still, there was fluid retention and other random details.). So, 4 more day of IV nutrition and clear liquids for me, and then we'll try, I don't know, eating again. The IV nutrition keeps m
