The current Nike ad Human Chain: How quick are you gonna get up? played throughout the Olympics.

My answer to “how quick are you gonna get up?”  Not so quick this time.

One of the many cruel elements of CF is its ability to change like the weather in a Colorado summer.  One minute I was feeling great with stable PFTs; the next I was on my back with the lowest PFTs I’ve ever had.

CF slapped me across the face – hard.

Now that I’m in my forties, each hospitalization becomes just a little bit tougher.

I’m going to change my answer to Nike’s question: It depends on how hard I get hit.  That determines how quick I get back up.

This time, I got hit hard physically and mentally.  Taking a bit longer to get up.  But I will.
