CF is a Game
CF is a game...
A game in which there are definite winners and definite losers.
The losers scoff at regular treatments, hospitalizations, and medications
They, in turn, receive the assurance of sickness, illness, even death.
Their counterparts, the winners, take their medications, inhalations, and exercise.
These are the participants whose eyes are so fixed on doing what it takes to win and feel good, they don't mind the daily rountine.
All because they long to control their CF, instead of letting it control them.
Living to fight,
Instead of fighting to live.
This is their mantra.
The game is CF
The goal is to win
The reward is life
LET'S PLAY !!!
