Becoming Worse

Well, I haven't been keeping up with my blog as much as I had hoped but now I have good reasons to. Since the last post, I have had another attack that hospitalized me. Doctors are now saying that I have hit a new stage in my C.P., for the worst. Before, I could say that I was not using narcotics on a daily bases. I can no longer say that truthfully. We have to put a fentanyl patch on every 72 hours now. Due to my sudden regression, my Islet Cell Transplant date has been moved up...to February 20th. Ya, that's much sooner.
When the doctors would ask "Is she taking narcotics on a daily basis?" we would always say "No"...until now; When they would ask "Has having C.P. effected the way she lives on a daily life?" our answer would be "No"...until now. After this last attack, I had to quit my swim team. Also, when we leave to get this surgery done (at the University of Minnesota), I will have to miss a minimum of 4 weeks of school. I never thought that I would say this, but..I'd rather be in school instead of missing a month. Lol.
