Caught in the Rain!

Storms/Rain fun fact: When I was little I used to run around the house during storms singing "thunder, thunder, thunder CATS!"

Front and Back veiw

If I'm not going somewhere nice (where I have to look professional) I am okay with being outside and it starting to downpour. I acutally love storms! I'm usually the person standing outside taking pictures when a warning is being issued. My uncle is a storm chaser and I have ALWAYS wanted to go with, however he lives 40 mins away...

So storms don't usually bother me and tonight I am thankful for the storm we are having tonight BECAUSE...

while out on my nightly jog with my friend Sarah, we got caught in the rain, so we started jogging (we were 1 mile away from her house, literally half way...)

Nothing shaves 10 mins off your jogging time like the rain and spotting lightning in the distance... HAHAHA!

I now know that I can push myself a lot harder than I have been, we just proved it. 10 minutes faster, gosh.

Now to find a large, unleashed, mean looking dog to chase us...

Updates Galore!

Big News, Big Times, Big Change: I had my post hospital Doctor's appointment on April 21st and it went well. I posted a video on my CF facebook page. My weight is back on track, heading up. Also, my lung function was around 55%, so that's almost my baseline. I got to take my needle out that night. OH BOY!! I loved being needle free! Whoohoo no more IVs!!!!! In the last week I have been super busy with a few different things. 1. Work. I have a new client AND I had all my post licensing webinars & exams this last week! 2. More CF Foundation Volunteer work. I held a presentation in my home town, where I discussed CF, the different mutations & severity of classes, as well as fundraising for great strides. I talked about the history of the CF foundation, care centers, and more about our local IL CF fundraisers. Overall, it wasn't a big turn out, so I was a little bummed. My hometown has always supported my CF cause, so it was disappointing not to have a good numb...

Today's BIG Appointment

I discussed last week about my recent struggles & goals. I have been dealing with a lot all at once! Family planning (update on that in 2 weeks), my Grandma's funeral, lower lung function. Through it all I have remained very compliant with my meds! My health is VERY important to me. So this last weekend I took my vest machine, wabi sterilizer system , and packs of ensure to my parent's for the weekend. I wanted to make sure I did everything. While it was a sad occasion, it was still pleasant seeing almost all of the family together again. Actually 27 out of 29 of the cousins made it to the funeral. Grandpa is in the middle of the picture (can you find me?) LOL On top of my medications I have been doing some dancing & walking, but no jogging or anything. I'm still counting calories on my fitbit (hitting over 3000) a day (& 40 grams of protein, 50 grams of fat at least). I knew I was feeling a bit better than before, but wasn't sure what to expec...
