Hi everyone

This is my first time on this forum, which I think is brilliant!

I have been with my partner for over four years now. I cannot begin to express how much I love him , how much he means to me and how blessed I feel to have met him.

I have gone through a lot of your messages and I know where you all come from. Most of us go through the same processes and problems.

My partner and I have gone through a lot already. I can sympathise with sad & lonely as my partner went through a phase that he pushed me away because he felt he could not impose his condition on me. He loves me and he wanted me to be happy and carefree in the future. What he had not understood is that I cannot be happy and carefree without him by my side and the potentially grim future does not scare me. I just want to be there....

At the same time I understand how difficult it is for him and other cf sufferers to worry about the partner's wellbeing. Sometimes it is too much ...

It is also sometimes too much to go through the same medical treatement routine everyday. My partner is quite healthy at the moment and I believe that the fact that he follows his treatment routine meticulously everyday, but I will not forget one incident. He went away for a night and he forgot his nebuliser, we though that there was so no harm done. When we got up in the morning to go for a walk he was ready in half the time that he usually is and he said to me:' S***t, I just realised that if I did not have to nebulise everyday, I could wake up 45 minutes later or leave earlier for work'. He was in a bad mood for the rest of the morning and a bit out of breath so... I can understand how upsetting this is fro them. All we can do is be there and be patient, loving and caring

Anyway I just wanted to way hey to all of you and instead I wrote a whole letter

Cheerio!
