Ditto to everything you have both said! It is the CF element on top of all of the other craziness that "normal" families go through. Even if your CF'er is doing "well" (it is all relative) we spend over two hours a day keeping her that way.

I have just typed and erased a thousand paragraphs, but this is YOUR rant <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> not mine so I'll stop here and leave it at this: I totally get it! Hang on!

Edited to add: See, in the time I was ranting more people have jumped on! Okay I agree with what you ALL have said!

I hear you. Seems like we've got the normal routine of meds, CPT (vest), cleaning nebs. I was just thinking today that we always seem to let the garden/yardwork slide 'cuz we're just so busy trying to get other stuff done. The walls were closing in on me last night -- too much clutter, messy house, need to do laundry... Not enough hours in the day... Sigh!

I will say that despite the fact that we had to go out of town for a CT scan and Max's clinic appointment. We did get to go out of town! And that in itself was a nice change of pace. Went out to eat, shopped, went to the museum, visited with friends. Stayed in a NICE hotel... Maybe you just need a little R&R. I've started going to get a facial every couple of months. I started off going to the dermatology clinic, but found out the beauty school moved close to my house and it's a LOT less money. If you can't get away for a mini-vacation/weekend, maybe schedule a massage or facial.

Thanks so much for the replies. I felt better yesterday just from typing it all out. I just don't have many people to"complain "to. My parents , are not an option, it just worries them. My friends I tend to try to not complain to, they either don't get it, I don't want them to feel sorry for us(really nothing to be sorry for anyway) since there are other people who are so much worse off then us. My husband sometimes gets defensive. I can vent to my sister but she wants to solve the problem when I really need someone to just listen. Anyway, I feel better. Just needed a tantrum. Next weekend I'm meeting up with my sister for shopping, drinking, and dinner for an overnight , just the two of us<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> Thanks for LISTENING
