I cannot describe to all of you how much fitness and exercising has helped me and my overall health. Back in September I was hospitalized for a CF exacerbation/hypoxia with kidney and liver damage. I was very ill. With that being said, I was unable to workout and keep myself active. I completely lost my appetite and I lost a tremendous amount of weight. I was only a whopping 90 pounds. Sometimes, I would go into the bathroom at night with all one hundred cords and Ivs hanging off of me and look at myself in the mirror. The person staring back at me wasnt who I wanted to be. I was so thin and frail and in so much pain. It was at that moment that I told myself I was NOT and I am NOT going to give up. CF isnt going to win. CF isnt going to make me another statistic. Through this battle I have become even stronger. Now that I am home and I am finally doing well, I FINALLY have the strength to exercise and get back into fitness. I have been already working out for a straight month 1/2. I feel better, and more importantly, my lungs feel like new. I can breathe. Some advice for all of my Cystas and Fibros, never give up the battle and always try to stay active. I dont care what it is; even if its just walking. Keep yourself moving and just dont forget to tell CF it can F*** off!
