Cystic Fibrosis sucks when you recognise an infection.

I'm feeling a bit down and out now,
after spending days and days in pain. I've had my first sign of chest infection today-well the first sign that can't be linked to anything else, because I've been feeling dead on my feet and tired out for weeks now. That had been put down to depression.

Today, I took my first notice of sputum colour. I've kinda of being ignoring it and just not looking for the last week whenever I've coughed, as last week was yellow and I didn't wanna keep seeing that. Todays was green, very green-definately not yellow no more.

I guess I should have paid more notice on the 30th, when my lung function was down. Well-I guess there's not much I can do except wait it out, as there is no way I can even consider starting IV's until around the 18th May, so I may aswell just wait for that hospital appointment before I inform anyone.

I am sorry that you are feeling down, and I hope things get better. It is great that you are using your blog to show others what it is like to suffer with Cystic Fibrosis. I'm sure that you have already helped a few people out by knowing that they are not alone. Be sure to start a Twitter account and promote your writing directly from the site so you can reach a broader audience if you like.

You take care and much hugs to you!

Thanks kitt,

I've turned into a bouncy ball now-I'm springing around faster than anything. It's fun-except for when the cat gets over excited and starts to play too.

I've been trying to make everything fun-I'm back in the stage where I can't quite sit still. I like this stage, but I'm geting prepared for the exhaustion it brings at the end of the week. Still-it's chocolate day tomorrow....I so far have 2 easter eggs-cream egg ones-yum!!!!

You know I'll never stop fighting hun-even when I really want too. There's to many things I need to do, and to many people I need to keep happy. There's Paul and Kain and Sandy my kitty. There's all the people on HW, Peace, here. People at the hospital. There's no way I could ever just give in.

Thankyou for supporting my fight hun, and making me feel good with your words.

and I likes blogging-helps me remember:D

Loves ya hun
