Sorry for being so inactive, but I've been busy with real life stuff and I ended up getting word back from the testing my doctor's did. I did in fact get diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, and it is quite accute. I'm going to try to not get too doomer about it, and I definitely was letting my OCD and anxiety take over and make me assume the worst in my previous messages. It's going to be really difficult to deal with, and it really sucks knowing I will be chronically ill with this for the rest of my life, but I'm sure I'll be able to manage. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared, but luckily my doctor said I should be able to still play in my football club which is good. I'm glad that my life isn't literally over, but suffice it to say I'm definitely going to be losing a good bit of years out of my life that I otherwise would've probably had, but I'll just have to find peace with that. Nothing I can do about it but learn to live with the time that I have left, which admittedly is probably still a lot, but i'm still so young that being told I won't live as long considering what they've seen and the history that my family has with it is a scary thing. Thank god I live in the modern age so hopefully my doctors can keep me healthier for a lot longer than my family members who passed from it.

So yeah, there's the update for y'all. In short, I have cystic fibrosis and always will. My family members who've had it have tended to die a lot younger than the other members of my family so my mom is utterly heartbroken and distraught. I'm scared about it, but I have the condition in a time with far better medical technology than there was when my relatives died from it. So there's hope, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't very nervous and upset about it. Just hate that there's nothing I can do about getting rid of it, but oh well, chronically ill Milo arc inbound I guess lmao.

I'm sorry to hear. How are you feeling?
