About Me
- Piper
- I am a 33-year-old wife, sister, daughter, friend, law school graduate, CFer, lifelong student of public service, blog writer, patient, Sagittarius, reader, Top chef fan, double-lung transplant recipient (twice!), and dog owner living in Colorado's beautiful Mile High City. I love all things colorful, funny, inspiring, or needlessly sarcastic. I share my city with about 2,500,000 other remarkable people, share my disease with 70,000 other beautiful souls, share my life with some unbelievable family and friends, and share my apartment with one very handsome guy and one really fat mutt with a kick-butt personality. We make it work.
About This Blog:
This blog is about me, my life, my sometimes craziness, my disease, and my current journey as a double-lung transplant recipient. It's also a celebration of everyone out there with CF (and other chronic illnesses). It's for you, inspired by you, and dedicated to you -- the community that keeps me writing, living, and breathing.

Some Pictures Need No Words
Yes, I'm still here. Nope, nothing is wrong and not much has changed. Just taking a little time off in my own "No Salt Zone" away from CF world to process some of the stuff in my life right now. And, of course, to play wildly since it's finally summer here in NYC. Case in point: the above pic was snapped by my fantastic friend Ben as we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge on Sunday. Spent the afternoon playing in DUMBO (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass, for the non-NY set), walking around/exploring, and eating ice cream on the pier before catching a water taxi back to our lovely little island of dreams over here so I could spend some quality time in the dogrun with Sammybear before hitting up our favorite West Village sushi joint. This was, of course, capping off a weekend of dinners with friends and rooftop cookie binges overlooking the lit-up Manhattan skyline, which is what I did both Friday and Saturday nights.
Yeah, hard to believe I complain sometimes, huh?
So I can't promise it'll be interesting and I can't promise it'll be funny, but I do promise that I'll be back on the blogging bandwagon sometime sooner rather than later. And considering I'm more than a month out and still living it up (not to mention completely and totally IV free), I think I can also promise a little gratitude.
