Today I was sitting at a French Market enjoying a crepe at a table for one when I felt the ever so familiar gurgle in my lungs. I started coughing and didn’t want to spit it out so I powered through my crepe and rushed out the door to my car. When I got the car I took out a “spit cup” (aka the little 3 oz Dixie bathroom cups) that I keep in my console just in case. I was still coughing and finally had a place to spit and sure enough it was blood. Now when I say I coughed up blood some people would think that means I coughed up a little of red stuff with what I normally cough up. Others think I am spewing blood out of my mouth. It’s more somewhere in between but I assure you it is pure red blood. I feel a gurgle in my lungs and then I involuntarily cough and up it comes. There is no stopping it.

Sometimes in life CF (Cystic Fibrosis) happens…pun intended

Happy New Year everyone!!! As far as 2014, I could have done without so many IVs but hey I wasn’t in the hospital at all in 2014 so for that I am thankful. I am excited to see what 2015 brings. I hope it brings longer spans of time between IVs for one. Secondly, I hope that I can keep my running streak of no “lock up/Club Med/hospital stay” going, 18 months and counting. (more…)
