How old were you "SUPPOSED

I don't live in a bubble, I truly LIVE my life, and I'm so proud of that.

You limited your own life. Your doctor's didn't make life choices for you - they simply gave you information.
You were the one that didn't care how you acted.
You were the one who didn't plan for your future.
<b>You will find others on this board were given the same information that you were, and didn't make the same life decisions that you did. </b>
The blame doesn't belong on the docs for giving you a prognosis.
The blame belongs on you for your choices.

Dx @ 2months on an island where I was the first diagnosis with CF- they didn't know much about how to take care of me so they gave me until I was 7. Then I turned 7 and it was 12. Then I turned 12 and they just shut up and said they didn't know.

my mum and dad were told about 7 to 10, however research would always advance so to live in hope it may be 30!! holy shite i thought 30 was very old when i was 10. i would gladly have signed a written contract to croak it at 30.
now im 35 and in as good a shape now or even better than a decade ago. my mind has been a significant key to my "longevity" as i truly believe i have seen many people allow CF to dictate to them and give in the daily fight. i developed a never give in tenacity and im sticking in what worked for me!! i reckon kids born today will live very long and productive lives into their 50's and 60's, i think i will!!
however i understand Kelli's point and believe she has a sincere soul. one thing i believe i would have done different without an impending death sentence hanging round my neck, is to have studied hard at school and gone to university. 4 years at uni was toooo many in my shortened life!! i had the fun things to cram in, not study!!, gimme a break! so here i am now at 35 , managing a motel part time, very unhappily married, and no career to fall back on, so im off to study this year, never too late. the fact i didnt die when i thought i might is now throwing a spanner in the works lol. so i "get ya point girl" cheers Blacky
