So many chronically ill people, like myself, can't work at all, so I applaud her for working, let alone at something that takes the physical skills pole-dancing requires (you need MAD core strength and coordination to do that, and it sounds like she teaches it for fitness). The mental benefits of going back to your pre-illness/pre-surgery occupation have to be huge, too. People with cystic fibrosis rarely live to be as old as she is in the first place, and to see her in such great condition is wonderful!
I'm glad she's doing so well and wish her luck in the future!
