I found my pot of gold

I`m back!

I have not had much to blog about of late only the normal CF life side of things and I don't really like to dwell to much on this side of my life even if it is a huge part of me.
Health wise I would`nt say I am doing fab more like ticking along. December was my last admission for IV`s I was in over the Christmas week and new year but did come home for Christmas eve, day and boxing day before finishing my IV`s back in hospital so not all bad worked out quite well in the end.
What`s been real disappointing is that 7 months ago my lung function decreased further and in all my effort to try and get it back to 0.8 it just not budging I am so hoping this is a temporally blip but I was so hoping to have seen a change by now.

Last September I joined a choir we sing a bit of everything from Gospel, Rock, and Religious songs, we have been preparing for a concert which was this Saturday so the last month my lungs have been having a real work out :) I love singing as part of a choir so much it allows me the opportunity to be like everyone else my health sort of takes a backseat when singing. I feels so blessed that my low lung function hasn't stoped me singing, if anything it has taught me to have breathing control.
I had been relay looking forward to the concert and this Saturday the day had arrived and wow did I have butterflies, the concert was held in a local church which seated 250 people and all tickets sold out. The evening was amazing and one person from the audience said it was frekin electric! I had such a brilliant time and felt like I had found the end of the rainbow.
I am now looking forward to starting rehearsals again working towards a summer concert.
