Hospital and Christmas

JustDucky · Dec 30, 2009

I sometimes get into those "why me" jags and then realize, why not? It could just as easily be someone else with CF, but it happens to be me. I too was a late diagnosis but have been in the clinker so many times that I have lost count for IV's and other complications. It is very difficult to have a disease like this and have little for a support system, sometimes we need those shoulders to cry on. I am so sorry that you feel alone. Hospitals have a way of bringing out the frustrations and sadness of isolation. Often, the docs and nurses do become your second family, I know I consider mine that way. Whenever I am admitted, I feel like Norm on Cheers, where everyone right down to dietary knows your name LOL and that comforts me. I know I will be cared for and am in the best hands.
Do you have close friends that you can talk to on the phone? That helps pass the time along with listening to music, watching movies, reading etc....
Hang in there, I hope that you are out soon and back to your own home. There really is no place like it.
Hugs, Jenn
