One week til my surgery (all the details).

One more week!

I've had many surgeries throughout my life ( 14 ish I believe). Most due to intestinal twisting and complications. I've had a couple mediports ( a disc, that is an automatic IV Line in my chest), stomach tube, etc. Not a big deal, right? Just another surgery. Here is an article about the surgery they are doing on me too: Read It Here! - Double Inguinal Hernia Repair.

Not a big deal, Right... totally.

I have an amazing surgeon, who is VERY talented and really cares about the patients.. unlike the last guy I went to see about this problem. I knew I needed a new mesh put in, I could tell the hernia (both sides of my groan) repairs both needed to be fixed.  The last surgeon, said I was too much of a "risk" and thought I should just "take it easy, stop dancing, etc" .... HA HA HA. no way. That's ridiculous. I blogged about him and his "amazing" bed side manner in This Blog!

I'm sooo thankful to have this new surgeon! I can't wait to just get this over with, I have been putting it off for almost 2 years, working on getting my health up more. I'm almost back to the health I was at in 2003 when I had my last surgery.

2003! Isn't that crazy! I had sooo many surgeries as a child, yet, I haven't had one in 10 years. I think that might be why I'm a lil nervous. In 2003 I had a major medical emergency/ surgery and it was bad. You know its not good, when friends who never visit the hospital come up to see you.

So that is my last memory of a surgery. I remember having complications with the anesthesia, etc. However, It was a major surgery and it was a horrific night. I wrote about that emergency/ambulance trip, etc and the surgery in This Blog Here!

Bottom Line: The surgey is not a major surgery, its not an emergency, I'm really healthy right now, and I have spring break to heal. It should all work out perfectly. I think my dad, mom, and boyfriend are all going to be there.  I just wanted to keep everyone posted on what the surgery was for and why I may be a lil nervous, which I think is irrational of me. But, that's okay.

I'm just glad I got all my pre-surgical testing done today!

And best news of the day, a Cyster (CF online friend) got her new lungs a couple days ago and she is off the vent and breathing on her own now! <3

found this on pinterest the other day and thought of her and all the fibros and cysters waiting for lungs and fighting to keep their lungs!!

First blog: Hello

My first Blog: A little About Me I'm not sure why I have decided to start a blog, however, here I am.  I have honestly thought about writing about my life for years, but have always chickened out. I have finally decided to share the experiences life has thrown at me. The biggest reason I have been asked to blog by people is because of everything I have dealt with medically. I have Cystic Fibrosis and a few other medical problems...This is probably the best reason why I should blog. I can relate to others who are dealing with medical problems, however,my CF is also why I did not want to write this blog. CF can be embarssing and annoying sometimes... but it  has helped define who I have become to be as a person. Therefore, (yes, even though I want it cured) I don't hate having CF. Let me start off with some basic info and statements. I'm 26 yrs old and have dealt with CF all my life. In this blog you will hear recent stories (good, bad, embarassing); a...
