everyone has a story, here is mine:

I have Cystic Fibrosis, diagnosed at birth by Meconium Ileus (an intestinal blockage requiring surgery). Although considered healthy most of my life (with no lung involvement), I've always dealt with fatigue, digestion complications and sinus issues.

As a child it was thought I was miraculously spared the devasting effects of CF - it was believed I had a mild case of CF, and wouldn't develop the typical complications of a person with Cystic Fibrosis. Respectively, my health was taken for granted, and I wasn't taught the importance of lung maintenance.

So, when I woke up sick one January morning in 2002,
I simply thought I had the flu, and didn't feel the necessity to go the doctor. Two weeks later after no improvement, I found myself in the hospital, on I.V. antibiotics and oxygen for no less than 14 days.

Not until just recently have I come to understand that what I experienced was my first CF exacerbation, which, sadly, caused irreversible lung damage by waiting for treatment.
So much for being "healthy".

Although I tried to return to work, it proved to be too stressful, too demanding, and too exhausting.
So, that October I retired and started my "life with CF".
And here we are today....

Risks

To Laugh is - to risk appearing the fool
To Weep is - to risk appearing sentimental
To Reach Out for another is - to risk involvement
To Expose Feelings is - to risk exposing your true self
To Place your Ideas, your Dreams before the crowd is - to risk their loss
To Love is - to risk not being loved in return
To Live is - to risk dying
To Try is - to risk failure

But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing - has nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.

Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave.
He has forfeited freedom.

Only a person who risks, is free.
