My early years

So.. where to begin

I got diagnosed with Cf when I was 2 and a half.. of course I dont remember it as I was very young! my mum diagnosed me because our hospital falied to pick up the signs and it wasn't until my mum read an article in a magazine that she realized that I might have Cf, as many people back then, and still dont really no what Cf is. I never got admitted to hospital until I was five and that wasnt because of my lungs, that was because I had developed Diabetes. You can get Cf related Diabetes but mine wasn't, it was full blown type one Diabetes. It was a bit strange for me because I had never really experienced hospital life before so I didnt really understand why I was being admitted. Before I got Diabetes, I used to think that Cf wasn't so bad because I could eat absoultely anything I wanted too! whereas all my friends at pre school had healthy lunches, I used to have chocolate and things like this! I thought it was great to begin with, I thought that because I had never been in hospital, only for my clinics that, that was all it was ever gonig to be! It wasn't until I got Diabetes that I suddenly got a culture shock! Luckly after being admitted for Diabetes, I didnt get admitted for my chest until I was 9, I got admitted for other things, like tummy problems and consipation (other typical problems you suffer from with cf because it affects your diagestive system) when I first had a long line put in, I was absoultely terrified. They had to give me gas and air because the pain was to much! I then got admitted again the following year in the summer which was hard because I had to miss my holiday with the family, we were supposed to go away to spain but I couldn't because I caught a chest infection. I also had to be isolated in a seperate room because this was the first real time that I had come across cross infection. I absoultely hated it, I hated being taken away from the other children, I didnt undertand it! all I wanted to do was play! The next time I got admitted was 2009 when I was 14! that was a short two week stay for Ivs.
Thats my early years...
