<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Oh and to answer the initial question about pain.
Sure it might seem terrible while you are going through it... just like everything in life (ex. losing a loved one, having to put your dog down, breaking up with a loved one).
However as time passes the less and less of the pain you remember because it's been so long and because it doesn't matter anymore. Most doc's try their best to keep patients comfortable anyway.</end quote></div>
I love that- it's true. Any pain I had didn't seem like the end of the world because I knew it was temporary. It was not fun or easy, but I kept telling everyone "It's just temporary" I was more excited post transplant than anything. Don't get me wrong... I cried and struggled through pain..... but nothing worse than anything I hadn't already experienced than just having plain old CF.
