Food and Dancing (what a busy day!)

Food and Dancing (what a busy day!)

On every Saturday morning for the last year and a half I deliver mobile meals to people in the community. I really love doing it, the people I deliver to are amazing! Today, one of the older men I deliver to gave me a picture that he cut out of the paper. It was of my cousins (twins) holding their soccer team's trophy.

Then I had play practice (its a hour drive there, and an hour back) so that takes up a chunk of the day, but since the play is Hairspray, I decided it is more than worth a couple hours in the car.

It had been 5 years since I had been to our local Mexican Restaurant Los Ranchitos and I'm not sure why. However, I loved it! The food was great, the price was decent, service was good, and overall a fun time! It was really busy, good thing they added on a while back!

I ate quite a bit today, but that is good, since the pharmacy hasn't sent me more stomach feeding bags. Tonight will be my third night without any feeding. I have lost 2 pounds I'm pretty sure because of it..

I got my Vitamin D retested, but results aren't in yet. I will keep you posted!

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...

Time for a Change!

I have been blogging at www.cheriz.org since 2012. So an amazing 5 years! I found my forever career, my husband, my first & forever home! I said good-bye to my Stomach Tube & had some mjor medical transitions!  However, CF affects a lot more than myself now. It affects Andrew, soon we will have kids in the house. To call my blog Cheriz- just doesn't make sense anymore. Coming up with a new name was super hard! However, my new blog is More Than DNA! ( MoreThanDNA.org ) Why did I name it that? Because I am MORE than my CF (or mutated DNA that makes up my CF). My family also will not have shared DNA. Any kids in our house (whether we adopt or foster children or not) will be considered our family & we don't think it matters that they won't have shared DNA. DNA does not define our family or us as an individual. We are more than our DNA! I have posted my first blog post at the new site! But I'm working on moving a lot my archives from this blog over. So it...

Calling All Who Care!

     Please Read : Okay, so first off I want to say that this post is tough. It's tough to think about and write. However, it is extremely important and a huge topic in the CF Community, and is VERY NEAR AND DEAR to MY HEART!  First I want to ask you... What if I told you I needed a Transplant. That I needed to reach a certain weight, get my kindeys functioning better, get a higher pain tolerance, and get off a couple medications I take right now. What if I said I couldn't receive a 2nd chance at life unless I reached these goals and I raised a certain amount of money that seems impossible to raise. What if I had been in and out of the hospital off and on for the last year, with many surgeries, had multiple infections and my lung function dropped from 40s to the teens and now is slowly dropping still. What if I was starting to wonder if my decision to go through the grueling Transplant tests was worth it. What if I start to get down about my cf and wondering why ev...
