Internet, Exercise and Magnum PI

Internet, Exercise and Magnum PI

I haven't been online much. However, I got the internet finally set up correctly at my apartment. I have been working a lot on my Real Estate work, I'm trying to finish everything and take my licensing exam in June.

Other than working, and doing hmwk, I have belive it or not committed to the "work out everyday" rule so far. My friend and I started out walking, now we are jogging/walking 2- 2.5 miles each day. Eventually I want jogging to become a hobby or daily routine that I ACTUALLY enjoy. But...it's not that bad. The first day jogging was kind of tough, but it's true... the more you run the easier it becomes...

I also have decided since my last Clinic went so well, I should really try to stay on top of doing all my treatments and see just how much lung function I can gain by July! During all (4 morning, 2 afternoon, and 3 Evening nebs)my treatments I normally read. Lately though I have been watching Magnum PI episodes. I need to get season 3 though...

I NOTICED:
At the top of the screen it says the date it aired (early 1980s) and I remembered my mom telling me she would rush home from work on Tuesdays to watch Magnum! She nevered missed it. It''s weird knowing at exactly 6pm on those dates on the screen that my mom watched the same show I was about to watch!

That's all for now. We'll see if the work pays off in July at my next Dr.'s Appt!

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...

LOTS, LOTS, LOTS to Tell!

Doing What I Can: People can tell me " Wow, how do you keep up with all that" (referring to all my meds). Sometimes people tell me "That's so awesome that you are doing all that".... Well, I guess, but not really. I just do what the doctors tell me, I know its the best chance I have to living a longer fuller and better quality of life. Plus I have lot of help from Andrew, family, and friends! Right now the main thing I'm working on is: 1. Keeping my lungs at 56% (since my last appointment ) AND 2. following the dietary restrictions the GI specialist gave me (read about that appt here ) & I'm keeping my Food Journal for him to look at. Here's how that is going: Okay...  For the last 7 days I've had no meat in my diet. I really miss my meat and to be honest it didn't help a lot. This week starting today I'm no dairy for 7 days. Then I'm no meat and dairy... Then no gluten for a week. I go back to the specialist in 5 weeks. I...

How Fostering and CF impact my work

I haven't been on my blog much.... I think that is because most of my blogging is currently been done on Health Union's Cystic-Fibrosis.com (here is link to all my posts on their site: https://cystic-fibrosis.com/members/cherizkunkel/ ). I decided last fall to step away from real estate after 3 years in the business. It was tough to say good-bye, especially since I had tripled my volume and business in the last year. However, I didn't have time to add any new clients; I kept saying, maybe next week, next month I can fit more work into my schedule. The truth is fostering takes a lot of time. We have between 5-8 monthly visits at the agency, 1 court ate a month, 2 home visits from the caseworker a month, plus e have 2-3 doctors/specialist appointments for our current kiddo. We have lots of paperwork we fill out, gas mile logs, receipts to add, and more! Our kiddo also participates in gymnastics and dance two nights a week. We go to a fosterparent support group with our kid ...
