... I'm filling out patient history forms at a new doctor's office and the form only leaves two lines for current medications.
... people behind me in the check out line say, "Wow, you should really stop smoking with a cough like that."
... it costs $6,000 a day to be hospitalized, and your insurance has terminated you since you "make too much money."
... people ask if I'm just getting over a cold.
... my friends stick up for me and ask people to not smoke or kick up dust because "they" have allergies.
... I laugh so hard I go into a coughing fit. And it happens often since I love to laugh!
... my friends refer to the hospital as "The Slammer."
... I tell someone I have CF and they actually know what it is. And no it's not a religion.
... they hold local CF seminars that CFers can't attend.
... Team Zoomina reaches their fundraising goal!
... doctors ask me, "Which parent gave you CF?" or "How long have you had CF?" I swear the next time I get that question my reply will be, "I just got
back from this cruise and I think that's when I picked it up."
... med students visit me in the hospital just to look at my fingers and toes.
... cafepress.com comes out with new CF shirts.
... my best friend thought that I had just had my wisdom teeth removed the first time she met me, when in fact, I just had steroid cheeks.
... my friends and family forgive me for my roid rage.
... my nurses let me access my own port. (It's the little things!)
... fat kids on airplanes laugh at you for wearing a mask, until you tell them it's cause you have Ebola.
