Lots of xrays today. One guy with bumps on his toes, one guy missing ribs now a dude with new lungs.

how does CF feel before having new lungs?
little__boxes on
A very close friend of mine had CF. She was almost 50 before she got a double lung transplant. She called me the day she got the official call (they will do “fire drills” to make sure you follow directions and can get to the hospital in time) and left me a voicemail. 3 days or so later, she passed away, having only had mere hours of easy breathing at the end. It’s been over a decade, and I still have that voice mail, and I think of her often.

My mum donated her organs when she died and the letter from the person who received her lungs was so beautiful, describing the feeling of being able to go outside for a walk with their dog, having pink fingernails for the first time. I know my mum is grateful that she could give that gift in death.Â

Now that that’s over for them I bet they are breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Did it return in the 2nd pic? I don’t know x rays what I’m looking at. But in the first one cloudy spots are everywhere. And in the 2nd it’s less but still some.

They have made such amazing progress in life expectancy for this. I remember when I was in high school, the average life expectancy was like 20.
And this was in 2010, I’m not that old! Science has just made progress.

My husband is a CF’er. He was heading towards needing a double lung transplant because his infections were so chronic they were frequently causing lung collapses. His consultant got him on a clinical trial to start Trikaftor early. It absolutely saved his life and has completely transformed his quality of life.
Cystic Fibrosis is a cruel beast. Its an invisible illness that also causes other problems such as Diabetes, Arthritis, Osteoperosis to name a few.
