Ive been pretty busy actaully since Harefield so this post may be a longish one!!
The day finally came that i had been looking forward to since xmas. I had brought my daddy tickets for me and him to go to the MotoGP to watch the motorbike racing. He loves motorbikes and i've never been, and after the start to the year that we have both had, (me going through the transplant journey and him having radiotherapy treatment) it was time for us to have fun. To sum it up, it was SHIT. It rained hard the whole day. Its making me upset just thinking about it as i felt soooo disappointed.
It was at Silverstone course which took us 2 hours to get too. We got there and everything was outdoor apart from a few shops and stalls so we went under them for shelter and I brought a t-shirt and drink. The main race started at 1pm so we walked about to find a space to stand to watch it and we actually found quite a good place. The race started and we watched it and i loved it!! The bikes were so loud and exciting!! We left after the race and had the 2 hour drive back and were home at 4pm. We were both soaked, cold and tired. It was supposed to be a lovely day event that finished at 5, that had lots of entertainment, things to see and do, look at all the bikes and different races, and the weather just completely messed it up. It was one of the worst 'weather' days this year (typical) and although its no-ones fault and there is nothing that could have been done, it still doesnt mean I cant be really angry and let down by it.
I cried in the car on the way home and most of that night to be honest. My dad was fine about it and it brings a slight smile when we think of how we both must of looked on the day, but it still hurts and i want to re-do the day all over again. Apparently there is racing in august at Brands Hatch which is much nearer to us, so i think we will try that one.
My portable oxygen is great and much easier than my concentrator as its lighter, less obvious and lasts longer. Other than my lungs being in a permanant state of crapness, im feeling fine. I think the constant oxygen is helping as I have more energy, have more colour in my face and am not always worrying about what my breathing is doing and whether I need to go on the oxygen. I just have to accept its part of my life now. Although I dont think i will make it to transplant if these bloody wires have anything to do with it. The amount of times i have wrapped the oxygen tubing around my legs or got it stuck under a door and walked and practically ripped my damn head off. Im a danger to myself!!
I had my pelvic scan on Friday. That was fun - not! Appointment was for 9am which put me in a mood straight away, as I dont do mornings. There are 2 ways to do the scan but I thought I had to have it the 1st way so I didnt say anything. I had to have an empty bladder but whilst doing the scan, it wasnt able to get clear enough results so therefore, the 2nd way would have to be done. I didnt mind until I found out you had to have a full bladder for this to be done. FOR GOD SAKE!! It then took me until 12 to drink enough water and juice in order for the scan to take place. A mixture of my overnight feed and the fact that I was sick in the night for no apparent reason added to the problems as both these things make you dehydrated, so the amount of water i was drinking wasnt going into my bladder, it was being absorbed by my body. Anyway I finally got home at 1pm and slept. The results will hopefully be through this week and then I can be put on the transplant list!!
Lets finish this post off with some good news. I won my court battle!! I was due in court on saturday at 11am. They rang at 10.15am, just as we were getting ready, to say that the judge had thrown my case out and that we had won. I didnt need to attend and that they would send written proof this week. Of course, i was happy as now i shouldnt have to worry about not getting the benefits and they will leave me alone, however, i was really angry that they have left it until last minute as i was all ready to go. Lance, my nurse, had even got on the train and was waiting for it to leave the station when we rang him and told him, he had to jump off!! So at least this week I can concentrate on other things, rather than look for a job ;) haha!!

Harefield 2 day assesment
My appointment for my 2 day assesment for going on the transplant list was for Monday morning so we went up on the sunday night again and stayed in the onsite housing. As soon as i got to my room on the ward on Monday morning, I was given lots of forms and pots to put different things in haha!! I was wheeled down to lung function, had tests on my heart and had a heart monitor attached to me which I had to keep on for 24 hours. I had shit loads of blood taken from me, had to give a sputum sample, a urine sample and then collect all my wee wee for 24 hours.
It was then lunchtime and I got to actually have a bit of a rest for a while until it was time for physio test. I had to walk for 6 minutes between 2 cones and score how tired I was after every minute. I did really well and felt ok. At 3pm, I fell asleep and then woke up a few hours later and all tests were done for that day, so me and mum just watched tv and talked until I went to bed.
Day 2 started bright and early with a bloodtest at 9am..after 2 attempts at blood they finally got it from my hand. I had to fast from midnight for the bloods and a scan of my liver and kidneys, which i was then wheeled down for at 10am. Whilst down there, they also fitted me in for chest x-ray and a CT scan of my chest. By the time I got up to the room it was lunchtime and I hadnt eaten so I was left to eat lunch. Then it was the big talk - the in's and out's of transplant. The co-ordinator came in and discussed everything about transplants and answered all of our questions. This lasted for 4 hours!! We finally got to make our way home at 6pm and got home later that night - both absolutly shattered!!
A few days after the stay, I got a phonecall from the main Dr - Dr Carby. He said everything on my tests were fine except for one thing. Whilst doing my liver and kidney scan, a little mass was picked up in my pelvis. I need to have another scan at my hospital to check out what it is. I have been told not to worry and that they arent worried at all. They believe its just a little cyst or polyp in my pelvis and that many girls have them, but because they have found it, they have to find out for definate what it is. I did a pregnancy test for them to rule that out and that was fine - thank god!! So that scan is being booked in and until then, im on the inactive list.
It was ALOT to take in and a very busy and tiring few days. It felt like it was happening to someone else and that they were talking about someone else. I just need to talk through plans with my family and pack a transplant bag before I go on the list, so that if/when I get the call, I dont have to waste time packing a bag, i just pick it up and go!!

24 hour oxygen and acting posh
So I have been doing lots of little odd jobs...putting stuff up on ebay, going bank, seeing friends for lunch, posting off the stuff i sold blah blah blah. Got stuck in many different queue's in lots of these places and then realised it was half term!! I had a few days of doing not much as I was really tired. I dont know what it was down to really but I need to think about getting some salt tablets for the hot weather, as this can cause CF patients to feel extremely tired as we lose alot of salt when we sweat. Lovely!! I went shopping with mummy one night to Lakeside to make a start on birthday shopping for my brother. Again i was pushed in a wheelchair. The less said about that, the better.
The weekend was great. Friday night, me and Scott went to see X-men and we had pre-booked the tickets. When we got there, the tickets were not registering and it turned out the screen was overheated and that the screening had been cancelled. We were offered a refund (which we got) and then they took us into the earlier showing which had started 4 minutes ago. Scott moaned that he missed the trailers but that was a good thing for me!!
Saturday was a VERY tiring but brilliant day. We got all 'poshed' up and spent the day at Epsom Derby horse racing!!! I won absolutly nothing and scott won the first 2 races...that was only because he put £1 on every horse running!! Haha! I decided I was going to take my portable oxygen concentrator so I didnt have to struggle during the day as we were going on a minibus so I wouldnt have been able to leave. Mum plugged it in to charge overnight and in the morning when I went to leave, it hadnt charged.
I still went. Without oxygen. I left home at 9am and got home at 7.30pm. Call me stupid or whatever comes to mind and I would prob agree. But I am stubborn, I had been looking forward to the day for ages, I was all ready to go and found the oxygen wasnt charged at the last minute, and CF has stopped me from doing so much already that I didnt want it to stop this day out. It was a 15 minute walk from the coach to the races which was just about manageable before and after the event. Once we were sat at the races, all the betting places and food and drink stands were steps away so that was fine. Scott was, as he always is, truely amazing and I didnt have to walk anywhere at all as he did it all.
I paid for it that night and spend all of Sunday indoors (after mcdonalds breakfast of course) resting but it was worth it. I was so tired and my little lungs felt really heavy and that is why I have come to a decision. I have spoken to Lance and requested to have portable oxygen sorted out rather than the portable concentrator. The concentrator doesnt last too long, is quite heavy to pull along and more 'obvious' to everyone. For people that havent seen it, its similar to a suitcase on wheels but not as big as a whole suitcase lol. If I have portable oxygen, I have a main base at home and fill the little cylinders up from that. I can then carry them in my bag or something and they last 8 hours. Bit more discrete and manageable. Having to have oxygen on when im not indoors is horrible as I hate people seeing me with it on, however, if it means i can do more and breath better, its worth it.

5 years together
Me and my Scottings have been together now for 5 years. We celebrated by going to Scotts favourite place (the cinema) and then my favourite place (a restaurant) haha!! We didnt do pressies but just got each other cards. When I got to scotts house he had stuck balloons all up the stairs which had 5 on them. Awwwwww lol xx Im sure you all know by now - through this blog and through facebook - how much I love him. He looks after me, understands me, makes me laugh so much and we hardly ever argue. We have no need to, and thats the honest truth. He is not only my boyfriend but my best friend and I tell him everything and know he will be there with me always. xx
As of today, I am needle free!! Finally after 3 weeks of iv's I dont have to worry about the bloody tube hanging from my chest and can have a proper shower. BEST. FEELING. EVER. My chest is fine but I still use my oxygen more than I would like. Unfortunatly, I think its going to be the norm now and its going to be with me until my new shiny pretty lungs come along. My appetite is back and my weight has gone up since i started iv's. Im starting a trial for a different overnight feed which has 2 calories per ml instead of 1.5 calories that im now on. That means i will be able to fit in an extra 500 calories overnight, going from 1500 - 2000 calories. Will start that tonight....lets hope it agrees with me!
Ive been quite busy actually since the weekend. I introduced Scott to the wonder shop that is Ikea. I love that shop and love flatpack furniture even more. I think that should be my job lol. He got a wardrobe and chest of drawers for his room. I got pushed round perched on the edge of the trolley which was great. We worked great as a team: i sat on the sofa with the tools, screws and instructions and basically told Scott what to do!! Thats good teamwork ;)
I had lots of places to go to on Tuesday; doctors, gym (to cancel the membership as im just not well enough to go), chemist... scott had finished early so he came with me as he needed to sort stuff out too. Yesterday I got my hair done finally too!! Feels sooooo much better - have gone shorter and blonder.
Im going to finish the blog with the best news this week though....my friend Chantelle got her transplant call on Monday and it went ahead. She only waited 8 weeks which is brilliant. Its only been a few days but all her chest drains are out and shes been helped into a chair! Thats such good progress already and i really hope she continues to do well. I was so excited and really nervous all day monday and constantly checking for updates. I dont know why it affected me so much. Obviously because she is my friend but i think alot of it was because of my own situation.
I knew Chantelle before she needed a transplant and we worked together to get our weight up. Her lung function dropped quite quickly and she decided to start transplant proceedings around xmas. So from starting the meetings at her hospital at xmas to now is less than half a year and she already has new lungs...its all was so quick and just reminded me that it could be me going on the list in june and then it could be anytime!!

Chelsea charity match
I will start with the health side of things. Im feeling alright at the moment. Im still on iv's as i agreed to have a 3rd week just to get my chest as clear as possible. My appetite is back and im not coughing lots so this extra week will hopefully keep me going for a little while. Im still abit breathless so am on and off the oxygen but am able to be off it for most of the day now. I had my needle changed yesterday, which stung like a bastard due to the numbing cream not working and being rubbed with an alcohol wipe over the hole the last needle came out of. Ouchie!!!
Last week was Scotty's birthday and we went for a nice meal and cinema with our friends Sirin and Carlton. Just before his bday, me and mum had a few hours to pick up a few little bits for him to open. Because I still wasnt great and because we only had a couple of hours to get around Bluewater, my mum suggested i go in a wheelchair. I have only ever been in a wheelchair when in hospital, and am so stubborn, I would rather push myself to the absolute limit than give in. However, I needed to go and knew I wouldnt make it round so I agreed and we borrowed a wheelchair from a family friend. It broke my heart to have to be pushed round in it, im only 22 for god sake, but it did make the trip so much easier.
I got alot of stares and i can understand why. Other than being abit pale and skinny, i dont look ill and you wouldnt know, i didnt have oxygen on, i was moving about and my legs were moving (so they knew i could walk), and im young, so people must just wonder why im in a wheelchair. I wish it was just because i was mucking around and being lazy!! We did laugh alot though. Mum bashed the chair on many aisles and got me caught on various things, and then didnt know what to do with me when she went to pay for things so often dumped me somewhere in the shop haha!! I was impressed with the card i got Scott:
Tuesday finally came and it was an early start having to leave the house at 7am. For those who dont know, CF patients dont do early mornings!! We have sooo much to do before leaving the house and we also need our sleep lol. It was the CF Trust charity football match at Chelsea football club. The team was made up of people that have a link with CF and celebrities who support the charity, and we would be playing against the members of parliament team. There were 6 of us that went; me, danny, mum, dad, dad's partner Lisa and my friend Steph. It took us 2 hours to get to Stamford bridge in rush hour traffic but we made it. The match was very funny and everyone got to play 40 minutes in total on the pitch. My little bro scored a hatrick!!! The match ended 6-4 to us - wahoo!!
After the match we went to the presentation. There were a few speeches and then everyone went up to receive their little trophys. We were sitting at our table talking about the trophy and pictures when danny got called back up and given another trophy as he was voted 'man of the match'. We then went to the chelsea store and got the new chelsea shirt and made our way home. It was a long day but it couldnt have gone any better. The amount raised is still being counted and brought in but it was estimated to be about £30,000 which is great for such a small event. I was so proud of danny and i know everyone else was too.
I will upload the pics once ive collected them all as 3 different cameras were used, but here is a few...
Oh...I just remembered....I got my court date. Its on the 18th June. Lets fight!!

Documentary on BBC3
I havent done much at all since starting these ivs which is a good and bad thing really. Good because i should be resting and taking it easy so my body can recover and not keep knackering myself out, but bad because my head wants to do lots of things and i also keep getting a dead bum!!
I have been using my portable oxygen when driving and when i went up Scotts and the pub. It doesnt bother me wearing it infront of people, although its not the greatest fashion accessory, but i often worry about how the people around me feel about me wearing it. My dad tries to kind of keep me in one area of the pub for example. Its not that he is embarassed, I just think that he is trying to protect me but i find myself getting snappy at him, but again, thats because of my own feelings. I worry how scott and my family feel having to see me with it on. We all know my lungs are a big piece of crap but its just a physical reminder at how bad they really are. I start to wonder how long it will be until I am on oxygen alot more or even 24/7. Hopefully I can get over this infection and keep the oxygen just for overnight use again. My mind always goes into overdrive when im not well.
I got an email on thursday from a producer from a company that does documentaries for the big channels like ITV, BBC and channel 4. They came across my blog and want to get me involved in a documentary on young people and transplants. It will be shown on BBC3 at 9pm in October. At first i wasnt sure whether to do it or not because I am scared i will say the wrong thing and come across in the wrong way and plus, I sound like a child on cameras!!! Lots of people have supported me and urged me to go for it so I got in touch and they are coming round for a chat on friday afternoon....argh!!! Im looking forward to this weekend as its scottings birthday so I hope it goes well.

Oxygen - check!
Bugger it...my chest had a big old flip out and im now on iv's, possible daytime feeds and oxygen. It got worse and worse over the long bank holiday weekend so i warned Lance that they would be needed so when i went to clinic on tuesday, i was put straight on them. Didnt do lung function as my sats were dropped to in the 70's (whoops!!), my weight dropped a kg so i need to keep an eye on that and i wasnt allowed home until i was given a portable oxygen concentrator as its obviously dangerous driving and being out and about with that low sats. Oh well, I feel shitty but once these ivs kick in then i will be on the up again!
Earlier on tuesday, i had the dentist. Harefield wanted me to see the dentist before my 3 day assesment (which is exactly a month away - argh!!) in order to have healthy teeth. To have a transplant they want you to have good teeth as these are a big infection risk. I have never had a filling before and have only had my teeth whitened at the front when i was in secondary school. This was because the shock my body had at being born with an illness, my enamal didnt form as well and plus all the antibiotics didnt help. Thankfully my teeth just needed a little clean up and that was it, yay!! The only part of my body that is healthy i think lol!!
Despite feeling highly crap over the weekend i had some nice highlights actually. Friday was the royal wedding and i watched most of it and loved it. I burst into tears at a few moments and was, of course, David Beckham hunting - soooo handsome!! ;) Im allowed to say how much i love beckham because Scott loves him too! Friday night, me and Scott went nandos and cinema to see Thor. It was a brilliant film and because we had lots of time in nandos and before the film, we got to talk alot and i really enjoyed it, a proper date night. Another little highlight for me was at the pub on saturday. I got up there for the football at 5pm and my daddy was up there!! I havent spoke about him much in my blog as its not my place to share all his business, but he hasnt been well and so shut himself away....he has finished treatment and is slowly improving and so to see him back in the pub and making the effort to come out was great.
This week is relaxing and concentrating on getting abit better so that I have a bit more to say that i have done in my next blog lol.

Earlier on tuesday, i had the dentist. Harefield wanted me to see the dentist before my 3 day assesment (which is exactly a month away - argh!!) in order to have healthy teeth. To have a transplant they want you to have good teeth as these are a big infection risk. I have never had a filling before and have only had my teeth whitened at the front when i was in secondary school. This was because the shock my body had at being born with an illness, my enamal didnt form as well and plus all the antibiotics didnt help. Thankfully my teeth just needed a little clean up and that was it, yay!! The only part of my body that is healthy i think lol!!
Despite feeling highly crap over the weekend i had some nice highlights actually. Friday was the royal wedding and i watched most of it and loved it. I burst into tears at a few moments and was, of course, David Beckham hunting - soooo handsome!! ;) Im allowed to say how much i love beckham because Scott loves him too! Friday night, me and Scott went nandos and cinema to see Thor. It was a brilliant film and because we had lots of time in nandos and before the film, we got to talk alot and i really enjoyed it, a proper date night. Another little highlight for me was at the pub on saturday. I got up there for the football at 5pm and my daddy was up there!! I havent spoke about him much in my blog as its not my place to share all his business, but he hasnt been well and so shut himself away....he has finished treatment and is slowly improving and so to see him back in the pub and making the effort to come out was great.
