CF article in the Washingtonian

I think this article has a point that really hits home.

Where IS the balance between doing "everything" possible and just trying to live a normal life? Part of the reason I've done so well so far w/ CF is that it really is, in my mind, in a "compartment."

If I were to make it the forefront of my entire existence, with 3 hour treatments daily and constant research, worrying, and monitoring, how could I live?

Are we ever doing "enough"? Should I always feel guilty for not doing "enough"? Where do you draw the line?

Addendum: this article reminded me that having CF is like having a kid, or a part-time job....one that NEVER GOES AWAY!!!!!! and has lower payback than either child-rearing or a job <img src="i/expressions/brokenheart.gif" border="0">

Good read. I liked seeing the perspective of a sibling of a CFer. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

This article is so well-written, and offers a perspective on this disease I've not seen written before. I can so relate to Peter and how he handles things. My doctor told me once "you can always do better." And I know I can, but I'm doing my best at the moment. It is what it is, and I can't let CF run my life.
