Small pieces... Make the BIG picture.

Imagine putting together a puzzle with infinite small pieces?! 

What a pain in my lung... Literally! Ha! 

These lungs of mine are so complex and keep me on my toes at all times. I feel like they are a puzzle with too many small pieces to count. I had a professional photo shoot today, ok fine they were X-rays ; ) but I had the chance to see my pearly whites. This is my actual x-ray, Im pretty sure they keep getting whiter and whiter... my teeth should probably take note ; )  ha. 

Well the good news is I don't have a pneumothorax which could also be referred to as a collapsed lung. The bad news is we aren't to sure what is causing this little yet significant pain of mine. Most likely it's just a cluster of infection, so hopefully I can remedy it soon with even more treatments and airway clearance or it might be time to throw some antibiotics in the mix. 

See I wasn't kidding, more small pieces to my puzzle. Although, I'm not sure I'd have it any other way... after all it's the small pieces that make the BIG picture.

Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month

Sometimes we often hear "But you don't look sick"... If only people had X-ray vision. 

May is Cystic Fibrosis awareness month and it just happens to be my Birthday month...coincidence?! I think not!! 😉 So please join me and let's make everyone aware...CF needs a cure!! This is my actual X-ray, I call these my pearly whites. The white is irreversible scarring from the mucus and the many lung infections which result in loss of lung function, my lung function is currently at 27%. 

CF is a genetic disease that primarily affects the lungs and the digestive system. It causes our bodies to produce a thick sticky mucus. The mucus builds up in the lungs and can lead to life threatening lung infections. A CFers day consists of hours of breathing treatments, airway clearance, exercise, and handfuls of pills to try and stay healthy. 

We will continue to do our part, until that one day CF stands for CURE FOUND!! Breathe out love! Xo ❤
