From my nurse today: "So have you had this your whole life??"
WTF!!! I was like Yeah....I was born with it.
Then she's like: "So why do you need to take enzymes?"
I said: "Well, CF affects the lungs AND the digestive system so I need the enzymes to help digest my food."
Nurse: "Oh well I knew the lungs part but I didn't know it affected your digestion."
I just looked at her in amazement....I mean what do you even say to that? I told my doctor and he couldn't believe it either. He says I might get to move back down stairs by Thursday. I think its pretty sad when I can't get qualified help unless I am in pediatrics!!

Well, we will be glad to have you back. I guess it is the same thing as if I were on an adult floor and had a patient with Kidney failure or something. I wouldn't know the first thing what to do with them. I bet she was blown away by your lung sounds. What was her name
