Over the last week my tonsils were giving me heck. So I stopped by my CF clinic yesterday to get some good ol’ Levoquin (antibiotic). As tradition goes, as with any clinic visit, I did the typical blow into the machine and it spits out a number thing. To my surprise it seemed really easy. [...]

As usual at this time of year I tend to get a bit overly emotional. To blame, at least partially, is the lack of sunshine in my life both literally and figuratively. As the end of the year closes it is hard not to reflect back on the passing time. This year has definitely been [...]

All proceeds will help offset the cost of my insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor system (co-pay and deductible if insurance pays, [...]

Today is one of those “bad” days. I left for work feeling great. Did a breathing treatment just before I headed out the door. I felt clean and clear. The snow was coming down in big beautiful flakes. Even the cold didn’t seem to bother my asthma. It started [...]

Don’t Assume (Author Unknown)
Don’t assume that because I look well that I feel well. Looks can be
very deceiving. Many days I look great but feel terrible.
Don’t say, “I know how you feel.” No one knows how anyone else feels.
We all have varying thresholds of pain, and pain cannot be measured.
Don’t tell me about your Aunt [...]
