Day to Day Living

Another pointless entry some of you may think lol


Although saying that I still thought id write about living with CF

In simple terms this is how CF and CF related Diabetes has to fit into life

Wake up, take tablets, do pulmozyme, eat, take tablets, take insulin, go to work or out with friends, family or daughter, have lunch, take tablets, take insulin, Finish work or whatever else im doing, drive home, eat, take tablets, take insulin, do hypotonic saline, cough up anything on lungs and do exercises to cough up more, take tablets, do pulmozyme, take insulin, go to bed

I have missed bits out of my personal life or only mentioned them briefly but thats for personal reasons and I wish to protect certain things that are very important to me (im sure you all understand)

Thats how my life basically runs in 4 sentences.

Does that sound simple or alot of work?

To me its all I know as Ive known no different throughout my entire life
Admittedly there is days where im too tired and miss the odd hypotonic or pulmozyme and most likely just go to sleep.

Going to sleep very early is happening alot lately and because of that im not commiting enough time to keeping fit. Its hard to do both sometimes. I have to say the people around me are very understanding which is extrememly lucky.

Its either one or the other at the moment as im no where near my best health wise and most likely wont be until later in the year.

Recovering from a severe chest infection that ive had for 6-8 months, taking a few drugs and a couple days rest wont do it

Its going to take months.

I am forcing myself to do more though which tonight or tomorrow (depending on plans) means going to the gym and trying to complete a 5k run be it running or crawling over the 5k mark (most likely crawling and then crawling home)

Then no doubt that will lead to me heading home exhausted and coughing my lungs up, which in turn will help me clear any nasty mucus from my battered lungs.

Day to day living with CF and CFRD its as simple as that!!

Or is it??
