I love scrapbooking and cardmaking, & so many other crafts!!!

Some stuff about me

These are a few things about me, my life, family and interests. I love scrapbooking & sharing with my online groups and all of the gals there, they are so kind & helpful. I wish I could be more involved, I regret letting life get by so quickly, now that I am sick (just diagnosed at age 42 with cystic fibrosis!) I wish I could turn back the hands of time. I've always just lived for the moment and I hope the memories I leave will be fond to all of those that have known me. With 27% lung capacity revised.... 23% left I have had to face the harsh reality of mortality and death; "it is what it is" as the saying goes. I am just thankful for everyday that I am blessed with. I could hope for nothing more, just knowing I was loved by my children in my life brings my heart happiness. Add on...I'm going on a cruise April 2010 Lord willin'! Please pray for me that I can remain healthy enough to make a once in a lifetime trip! xx-oo

Update again...

I'm home again as of Thursday, haven't been on much. Just thought I'd update. I haven't heard anything back on my test results yet. I am working diligently to stay healthy, this hospital stay has taken it's toll on me. I am having a hard time walking very far. I think it's because of being about bedridden for 2 weeks it has me so weak. I have managed to get to the van and stop at a friend's yard sale (crazy huh?) I also went with Ray & Amanda to his cousin Marcie's and had a nice visit with her and her sister Dawn< she's going on my cruise. (she's freakin' out on me though cause of me getting so sick.) Unless I'm bedridden I'm getting on that cruise. I will just keep doing my meds and vest and nebs and...................................... It's a full time job. I just hope I don't get laid off! hardy har har... :-() Just thought I would update anyone who reads this. Love me. P.S. I'm addicted to facebook now.. frannyj33 is my username. Oh, and we went to Red's today! Come to think of it, I have probably been more places in the past weekend than I have all month!
Thank God for my family, they give me purpose to get up and out!

Difficult...

I am attempting to blog w/ daughters mini laptop; it's too tiny. All of the keys are scrunched together. I am having to "hunt & peck" I am updating this blog because I have not been able to get online here at the hospital, I was able to before but anyhow now that Amanda let me use her's I am. I have really had a battle these days with my lungs. Just when I don't think it could be any worse, it is. I have stuff growing in my lungs that usually does not grow in humans and something else growing that is "unidentifiable" That was sent off to the research hospital @ UOM. He said he may send me home and when the results come back, I may have to come back in; depending on my insurance. Maybe I can get I.V.'s at home. Just thought I thought I'd post cause I know a few of you check up on me through this. (Oh Ray's Uncle Jim died R.I.P. he was such a nice guy, he will be missed.) The dreaded 'circle of life' Well, I'm considering laying down, but not sure cause my back already feels like its breaking. I'm at ST Joe Med Center room 454 (574) 237-7524. Have a beautiful day and say a little prayer for us would ya. Ray has really has had a big burden on his shoulders right now, at lease when I'm home I pick Amanda up and run her. As long as I can get to the car, I don't know how much longer I will even be able to do that stuff. ttfn1
