Thanks Kat!

As far as what CF is, I will give you the quick and simple version, it is obviously a lot more complex than this, but this should help. It is basically a genetic disease in which there is an extra protien in the blood that causes all kinds of problems. Like you mentioned, it makes you prone to getting other things like diabetes or pneumonia. It is the number 1 genetic killer, with about 30,000 new cases a year and an average life expectancy of 30. Most people who have it experience continuous breathing problems as well as being malnourished. It is the complications that tend to kill people though, due to the issues with breathing, the heart is weaker in some cases etc.

It is the same with anything else though, let it get to you and it will. Attitude is everything. It doesn't own me because I won't let it. Make sense?
