For me CF brings on spouts of coughing so intense that it causes uncontrolled urination and vomiting. The vomiting is less frequent than urination but still neither is better than the other. I am sure most people have had a cold that caused them to cough so much their ribs hurt. Well it's sort of like that but on a daily bases for the entirety of your life. I also struggle with joint pain, the pain is there every single day and only when completely intolerable do I take narcotics to help ease the pain. Just those two aliments can be enough to bring me to tears and hate the realization of a new dawn. Not to mention the complications of having a feeding tube, CF related diabetes, enlarge liver and the freakin' list goes on and on.......
I am a young women who's husband has assisted her with everyday tasks; like assistance to the restroom more times than I can remember. He, a 26 year old, has been a caretaker to a young (28 year old) woman, not a 80 year old lady who has lived a full life and before him was my mother. They are my Every Day Heroes!
So remember, the person next to you in the grocery line or the driver in the lane across from you might have an outer appearance that resembles nothing of what their struggles are. Things are not always what they seem....be kind to one another. I know when I have a difficult day a nice smile from the person in the grocery line really warms my heart! Try it sometime it might warms your too.
