Born june 25th 1993, 2 months prem. They diagnosed my cystic fibrosis at 3 days old because i had a bowl blockage (that usualy indecates cystic fibrosis). My mum and dad where young parents and didnt really understand what cystic fibrosis was all about and what really was to come. They had to work really hard to keep me well, with numbers and numbers of tablets and physio treatments they had to do on me. It was a tricky road and at the time we were loosing both my grandparents to cancer, puttting my family even more to the test. We are tough cookies and i have been brought up to be strong minded and a fighter. The reason i believe i am so well is because off all the hard work they put in, and all the love they have given me over these years,i owe them my life :).
I have a younger brother called james and he isnt even a carrier of cf. He has been my rock sometimes (dont tell him i told you that) he is a sensitive young man and he has made me so proud over the years. Hospital addmissions where made happier when he and my parents came along and wisked me away from it all. My younger brother is a actor (a blooming good one) im his biggest fan, i see big things for him. Im hopeing so he can buy a house and i can move in and he can bake me food ha.
As a child i had a normal upbringing my mum and dad never treated me any diffrent, maybe abit of a princess but i think i would of been gave that title even if i didnt have cf ha. I did what any other child would do, i went to the park , i went to school , i did what everyone else did. My mum and dad made sure of that !
Secondary school had its rough patches being in and out of hospital , starting to feel more and more vunrable and abit alienated. My friendship groups started to crumble and i started to like being more at home or hospital in my own little bubble. But my mum and hospital worked with me and i started to build my confedence again. Secondary school made taught me: that there is always some one out there, that is going to try and bring you down. You have to ignore them and live your life for you. Never try be some one your not, be true to your self. At this time at the end of secondary at the hospital we were starting to be segragated from our cf friends as we can make eachother ill. But these where the only people who understood my life, only people i know that had been threw what i had been threw. But over the years technology has helped and facebook and twitter is a great way to stay in contact with out making eachother sick :)
Friends keep you strong ! I love drama and music and i am always singing, its probably the reason my lungs are as good as they are. I have three cats , nunna, pookie and tinnkie and new addition to the family, murphy !!
I have a gawjus boyfriend called jack and i have known him since we were 12. We went to secondary school together and was in the same tutor group. Jack is my best friend and he loves me for me. We have been together since 28.08.08. Im hoping good things for us. He is my protector, my lover, my friend. We have many special memories from over the years, he makes me so happy :)
I wanted to write this blog so i can look back and look at all the things i have done in my life and maybe one day show this to my children. I am a possitive bubbly being, and i hope to be the oldest living cystic fibrosis suffer. woo !
