Feeling sad :(

Happy B-day Khristina. I can somewhat sympathize with your sadness, as I have it engraved in my psyche that each birthday is one day closer to death. I never celebrate any of my birthdays, and due to my introvert disposition and nagging health problems, my social life practically begins and ends at my day of work. I can't say I love my life, as things can definitely be better, but I do love myself. Call me self-centered if you want, but because of the love I have for myself, I have put in the time and effort needed to be healthy with CF. People might say I have a mild case of CF, but I dare them to walk a day in my shoes. I guarantee they won't be saying that anymore. And some might say it's a pain being around me, but actually try BEING me.

Yes time has certainly flown by, but I believe that we are just travelers in time. Time is constant-it will still be when we pass. The only thing I can say is rejoice in your health and take 1 day at a time. Life's not a light switch or a marathon, it's a journey.

Wanna know the best thing about the internet? No one has to "<i><b>hear</b></i>" me sing anymore...although I probably now irritate even the deaf people...win some lose some...but my hearing friends are grateful.

All kidding aside...go out with your hubby and enjoy yourself!

Happy Birthday Khristina. I hear where you are coming from about the life expectancy with CF. I don't have CF, but I do have several illnesses that there is no cure for. I have had Lupus since the age of 5 which is very very young to have this illness and usually folks like me were thought to not grow up past the 20's. I am 50 years old, so much for statistics. Hon statistics are only a number. Try to enjoy your life and live for today. Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow, not even the so called healthy folks. I am serious. I know with myself I just tell myself today is a beautiful day and meant for me to be happy and not think about anything negative. I just want to wish you a happy birthday.

Hugs,
Kathy

Oh Khristina, i am sorry you are feeling saddened by this. I know the median age thing is a scary thing to think about but it isnt a definite for anyone. My being close to 44 i am nervous especially since i had (healthwise) a bad summer, but i am trying to keep it all in perspective.
The idea of having a baby and hearing a ticking clock (so to speak) never happened to me because i made the decision to not have a baby years and years ago. But i can understand how you are feeling, like you have to hurry up before its too late. I felt that way towards just about everything i ever did in life and it can make a person crazy.
If you are healthy enough to have a baby that is great, that alone is something to celebrate in my opinion. Another Birthday is always a reason to celebrate despite your feeling you are missing out on something. Try not to focus so much about the average cf life span ....some perfectly healthy people dont make it to 34.
