So, I have this friend… well, maybe she isn’t exactly a friend, but I grew up with her. We spent many days while we were growing up in the hospital together. Both having CF, sharing the trials, tribulations and frustrations of living with this disease. Having wheelchair races, playing chubby bunnies at 1am until the [...]

October has been crazy. While I was getting settled in at my new job, mother nature threw me for a loop again. Yet another cold landed me back in the hospital. I sat for two weeks with gurgly lungs taking oral Levaquin and nebulized Tobi with no relief. Finally the nurses at work convinced me [...]

Well, it has been quite a while since I have posted. Here I thought I would have all the time in the world while I was unemployed to work on my blog, but I was soooo wrong!
This coming Monday I will be starting my new job, working with pulmonary research data at a [...]

Update: Family would like to keep their privacy about my nephew, thanks to my psychotic ex-step-mother (she has been disowned by the family and don’t want her knocking on the door again).

I have been counting my chickens before the eggs hatch. I really hope to bring you some good news, no, not good, extremely awesome news very soon, but I don’t want to jinx it. So I will keep it hush hush for now. I have been really busy in hopes that I [...]
If the washing machine is a knockin’, make sure the laundry soap is not on top of it.
Horrible lesson I learned late this evening is that laundry soap bottles can easily fall off of the top of the washing machine when it is running, especially when you aren’t home! This evening I had the [...]
Since I was laid off, I have had time to slow down, relax, and reflect on my life some. I have been able to realize I want a career when I can really help people. I am considering the healthcare/medical field. When I first started college I wanted to become a Social Worker or work [...]
Yesterday I had an awesome doctor’s visit. My lungs are in decent shape (any time there is no decline it is awesome news!), my blood sugars look great (I owe it to my new insulin pump), I found out my insurance paid their part of my continuous glucose monitor…… wait… what???? Yep! I noticed online [...]
