I'm new at this, and it's going to be obvious. I figured something has to relieve my stress and blogging seems to help a lot of people. Guess we'll find out!! My 21st birthday is officially TWO weeks from today! I haven't decided if it's a big deal or not. I mean for most people it is, but I don't know, I just feel like it's so much more than just a "birthday." It's a celebration that I've made it this far in the CF world when many people have lost their battle with it at such a young age, and it makes me even more thankful that I've made it this far!! I'm hoping that idiotic people out there won't think this blog is for attention, because if you knew me what so ever you would know that I am not anything like that. It's just a stress reliever and if you want to read it go for it, if not then don't. Plain and simple.
I was officially listed for a double lung transplant in January of 2011. Seems like everything my family and I have worked so hard to get to is finally coming. I was told that I would need a transplant in Sept of 09, it's been a long year and I'm so happy everything is working out. Taking things one day at a time has become easier. I remember my dad telling me that over and over and I would always think " are you crazy? " but I understand now. Sometimes I'm totally fine and others I think I cry so much my face swells up like a peach haha. But I guess that's normal and part of it. I've met so many other people who have had transplant and are waiting, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one out there and it makes things so much easier!
I guess this is good for my first one! (:
