31 year old lady
Hi, my name is Erin, and I’m 31 years old. I like cats and hamsters and I dislike losing my hair to malnutrition. 6 months ago, I almost died in Hawaii. The Hawaiian Fire Goddess known locally as Pele set fire in my lungs with her sulfuric ash of glass. Because of that, I recently went through an evaluation for a double lung transplant, because I have Cystic Fibrosis. My transplant team decided to defer me, which means I am currently not waiting for a lung transplant and I’m not on the list. It is still too early in my disease progression for this life saving procedure. The evaluation week I went through is colloquially called “hell week”, because it’s actual hell. Imagine having every test under the sun run on you, and then more, and that’s what it was like. I found out that I have a hole in my heart (literally and metaphorically). These things will be fixed in time.
The next step in my health process is to start a round of IV antibiotics for about 6 months. Yes, 6.
I like this picture of me & my cat Mo because we both are cute and I’ve gained weight. I’m currently over 100 lbs, which is a huge mile marker for me. So here is a photo to commemorate that.
Anyways, here is a list of things I like and dislike as a 31 year old lady…
