Eh, it's all right. I've got a Mike. lol He's not mythical but he's good for some stuff. Maybe I'll just paint him purple to add that mythical effect.

WOW, some people really get into this... Well I'm almost 9 year post transplant patient; 05/11 will be 9 years.
I grew up going the church and youth groups. I was raised a Methodist Christian. I have had several friends that were devoted Catholics. One in which was even going to go to Europe to pray for healing... unfortunately she died before she could do that. Her family was a very good Catholic family, which always went to church, prayed, were good to the bone people, yet the disease still took their daughter, one of my best friends.
I am lucky, a miracle some say... a year after my transplant I had swelling in my brain stem from one of my anti-rejection medications; nearly killed me. I had to learn to walk all over again, and yet I still have some residual nerve damage in my legs that prohibit me from playing any sports every again. Sure I can jog a little, ride my horse, but when my muscles are tired, I get clumbsy. Ok, I can breath, and I have done more now in my life since my transplant, so the nerve damage was well worth the trade.
I realize there are lots of different organized religions, and I for one am not for organized religion in my adult years. First off, religions were created by man in order to lay down their rules and control the masses. Something I don't believe in. I also don't believe that people can go around being bad people, doing bad things, and then confess to GOD, and be forgiven. That is just wrong to me. But I do feel that faith is a wonderful thing that can help people be stronger. It gives them hope and will to live, which gives them the ability to keep stiving for something better. Faith is what it's all about.
Live well and prosper, and always remember, "Eat, Drink, and be Mary, for tomorrow, you may be in Oakland" just a little football humor.
Take care! <img src="i/expressions/rose.gif" border="0">

Well, it's not all sunshine and lollypops, and sometimes when you get down, you get really down. People here understand that, and have been thorough it, are going through it, or have seen it (at least to some degree) I do agree that as tragic as CF is, people refuse to see the good things it gives you as a person, like all the truly quality attributes I have because I can see things from a different point of view, they only see the negative. I do think that dwelling on your problems makes them worse, but venting them is very helpful, and this is a safe place to vent.
