Here is What I Know

-



Being in the hospital on a Friday is usually craptacular.

Waiting for your bipap to be set up when you've been awake most of the night and since about 6 is even worse.

I am cranky.

I am sleepy.

I don't think I'm allowed to sleep without my bipap.

My lungs were bleeding yesterday and today, so I'm back in the hospital.

Don't be alarmed. I'll call you later (note to the homies).

Also, all apologies if this offends, but as the picture above shows, in my 12 years as an official adult with CF, I have yet to experience a CF Adult Clinic nutritionist who contributes a single new idea or dare-i-say conversational phrase to the process that is my hot bod. ;)

Goodnight.

    I think Iris and Roger could have been better nutritionists for you..how frustrating-they've been saying ensure for years now. Ridiculous I say! Remind them that it is 2010!

    You are the hottest Ensure spokeswoman I've ever seen.

    Okay that's like the first and last time I don't check for new posts! Cute pic! Why not have me as your nutritionist? I have good stuff to say. Eat as many calories as you can and you probably know that, and everything else, already. Right? Right. xxxooo

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
