Back in.

Over the last week I haven't really done much except watch TV, surf the net for birthday presents for my Brother's 16th and sleep due to not feeling too great.

On Thursday Tracey my home care nurse came to my house to take my bloods, get a sputum sample and just to check how I am getting on at home. I said to her I was feeling more productive and getting more out of breath then usual so I thought I had an infection coming on and she agreed it sounded that way, so she booked me a bed on Foulis ward for Monday.

Friday night my friends Connie, Sammy-Jo and Jenny came over for a girlie night, we just chatted about random things and what was happening in their lives, it was a really fun evening.

Saturday I was feeling really fed up with my situation and didn't really feel too well and when Sunday came I felt awful. It took me quite a long time to get dressed - I needed to rest after the simple things and I was really struggling. So I decided to call up the Brompton and they admitted me on Sunday early evening, I've started IV antibiotics and will hopefully be on the mend soon. At the moment I am so tired, all i want to do is nap.

It's ward round tomorrow so we'll see what they say!

What a courageous young woman you are. I am a social worker in Phoenix, AZ working with children, teens, and young adults with CF. It is something I am very passionate about and I am truly touched by the stories I read. I wish you a fairytale...I wish you all the happiness you desire and deserve...may the magic of life's beauty continue to be ever present for you. My thoughts are with you. You are beautiful...remember that.

Hi Sam,
I hope you feel much better soon. I found your blog through another blog I frequently read. I'm 23 and have CF and had a living donor double lung transplant 4 years ago. So I know what its like to wait. But its one of the most rewarding things. Just wanted to say hey and that I'll keep reading your blog to check in!
