My Day: A CF Picturebook

Chapter 1: Lazy Morning
(Yes, he sleeps on his back. No, I'm not kidding.)


Chapter 2: IV Afternoon
(Alternative titles for this blog definitely included "Track Marks: Confessions of an IV Junkie." And in case you're counting, this makes 8 times this year.)


Chapter 3: Gyrotonics Evening
(Bad picture, good exercise. You can't really see here, but I had 40 lbs of weight going for each leg. Which we followed by full body squats, lunges, and some other major thigh and quad workouts. I had a lot of extra energy and a lot of motivation - you'll see why in a minute.)


Chapter 4: Bright-Light Night*
(For my transplant friends: yes, this is a FAKE tree. Beautiful, yes. Real, no.)


*Okay, this isn't quite a footnote, but still: thanks go to Victor for the grammar lesson.

Oh yeah, and in between all of that I kinda, sorta, maybe had a dry run for lungs. You know, the usual.

Stay well, my wonderful friends.

  1. You snuck that in at the end! Well, congrats?? If you had a "dry run" that must mean you really are up there on the list like they said, right? I hope you kept a calm head and I hope next time it's the real deal!!!!
