I have about three hours before my husband and I pack up the car and hit the road for Birmingham, Alabama. The nearest Adult CF Center from Florida. It's about a four hour drive there and back, and considering my breathing tests start sharp at eight, its our best bet to hit the road early. I am feeling a little nervous and tense because it's my FIRST adult CF center ALONE (without my mom). My mom has ALWAYS stood by my side through the years of my CF issues and not having her go with me this time is a little scary because she always seems to ask the right questions and write EVERYTHING down. I used to laugh at her for doing that as we spoke with doctors but now I understand why and even packed a notebook in my bag for the trip. Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri we were always able to access hospitals, doctors, specialists and pharmacies within a thirty mile radius, I am realizing now that we were spoiled living in a BIG (bigger) city. I am happy to finally be meeting a group of specialists that can better take care of me down here, but also nervous to hear any bad news, but I know I should be focusing on the good news instead of the bad. After being hospitalized a month ago, I am hoping I will hear the good news that the infection is gone.
Hoping for great news!!!
