Please Pass the Salt


I'm a research scientist who pretends to be a cyclist and sometimes a runner. I also have cystic fibrosis.

Murphy’s Law of Cystic Fibrosis 2

If you have recurrent and worse symptoms and decide that being admitted to the hospital is unavoidable so you pack EVERY SINGLE MEDICATION you take, nebulizers, vest, a few changes of pajamas AND your toothbrush to take with you to the ER, you are guaranteed to be diagnosed as healthy as a horse with X-rays that not only don’t show fluid (blood) pooling in your lungs but also don’t even look like you have CF and will be sent home.

Just to be safe, I’m going to continue the cautious approach of limiting irritating nebulized medication and airway clearance in an effort to not dislodge the clot that has obviously stopped the bleeding in my precious lungs.

P.S. missed Christmas at grandma’s today/tonight. :-/
