Most of the time, I am thinking. I think about all sorts of things. The future. Love. What I want to do during the coveted summer months. Who I want to go see.

But so so rarely do I think about just how lucky I am. Because I am goddamn lucky. It's actually kind of really ridiculous how lucky I am.

I have a disease called Cystic Fibrosis. Very few

i don't know anything about cf but i remember watching a documentary about a girl that had it pretty bad. i hope you or someone close to you won't ever have to go through this. from the wiki i read it seems that it depends on wether only one or both of the parents have those genes and therefore kids can only have a slight form of it?

anyway i'm glad you're alive - also as in, alive on lj. :D i kinda miss you :'(

Carriers might display lesser symptoms, I guess. I mean, my mom has a few digestive issues that are like lighter versions of what I used to get, and both my parents are kind of phlegm-y. But I definitely had the full version when I was born, because I would breast-feed all the time, then cry all the time because I wouldn't be able to digest the fats and proteins in it, and then not gain any weight. Got the sweat test and was diagnosed and all, but now I'm getting better every year and my doctors are so confused. It confuses me too, but you won't hear me complaining.

I need to get my ass back on here more often then. ^^ School is doing everything it can to knock me on my ass and make me fail all my classes, so I've been distracted with, of all things, homework. Bleugh. I miss my classes from last semester that let me screw around on LJ all day. D: But still, living is pretty awesome. :D

Just wikipedia'd it. Learned some things. Shows how much this medical complication affects my life... >.>

glad you got more insights on it. but i guess since your mind didn't bother with it too much until now,...maybe your body didn't bother either. ;D sometimes it's just better to not get too caught up in it.
