Not that you feel you deserve it, exactly. It's more like you can handle the fact of CF and your transplant so swimmingly well that why the hell do you get bent out of shape about cabs and hearing loss?<br /><br />But the truth is that little things disappoint us and infuriate us, irrespective of the big things. I'll share with you something I read in a book recently: "The entire ball game was what you gave attention to vs. willed yourself to not." That's the best advice I know to give you on this one.bohttp://aheapofbrokenimages.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-40177980362294197072011-04-20T08:01:23.426-04:002011-04-20T08:01:23.426-04:00I loved reading this.

I always forget you have some hearing loss and my first thought about the funny face was "why doesn't she listen for the beep" LOL. Oppsie!!!<br /><br />We all sweat the small stuff, its human nature, and for us CFers it almost makes us feel normal. I get pissed when the TV remote won't work. Not the end of the world but COME ON! :)<br /><br />Embrace the person you are!!!!!

I love it... and to some degree I think that you post and say what many of us experience and feel but are ashamed to for some reason.
