Crazy, Busy days...

So the last week has been crazy.

Between babysitting,websites uploads, hmwk for real estate exam, my online politics course (pre-req for Grad School), play rehearsals 5 nights a week, and trying to train for a 5K... I've been pretty busy.

I have been failing a little at keeping up with my meds. I haven't been doing all 4 in the morning and have been doing 2 instead of 3 in the evenings. I think its crazy that people say "Wow, how do you do it all". I don't. simply one area of my life tends to get left behind a bit. Yes, sadly that is therapies this time. I'm refusing to skip my entire morning meds or evening meds when I'm rushed though, since that's when I tend to continue skipping.

Sunday, Wednesday, Friday and today i will have done them ALL! YAY!  But Tuesday and Thursday I skipped 3 each day.  I'm not perfect, nobody is, but I am honest. I can tell the difference in my breathing. Plus, the air around my place was really hard to breathe in yesterday (sadly, a 12 unit apt complex across the street was on fire and firefighters fought it for 4 hours, before all the fire was out).

I'm going to have to start jogging in the morning instead of night, with our Hairspray performances starting Thursday night! I'm sooo nervous I won't be ready for the 5K, my jogging/walking hasn't improved much in the last 2 weeks (probably due to lack of therapies and being tired when getting home from rehearsals).

But I will just keep with it and try my best. That's all I can do! And we will see what happens!

ps. In Hairspray I tap dance in jail ---------> here is a glimpse! Its kinda of amusing, but intense at the same time. LOL (if you are new to my blog, I'm in teal)

5K. I could cry. Beyond Annoyed.

My 5K I paid my registartion fee weeks ago, have been training and I'm ready for the 5K. However, I didn't get to run my 5K today. Why? Because Cystic Fibrosis decided to one up me. I got my spots back friday, and they just got worse and worse. They look like this: They take over my feet, and sometimes my calves. I posted about this a few weeks ago. I had them during the last few performances of Hairspray. I call it the "Mummy disease" because when it happens my joints freeze up and I can't move. So the morning of my 5K I wake up and they are on my thighs...     and on my arms. This is the worst they have been in years. I took pictures to show Dr. B at my clinic on the 11th.  I'm just really bummed and upset about my weekend! I was supposed to run my first 5K!!!!! I then had a bags tournament in Peoria for the Dream Factory, and was then going to head to Champaign for Sat night- Monday! My friend Alex, reserved me a ticket for Ren...

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...

A Hospital at Home

Coming home from the hospital takes a balance..... Wait.... Did I just say home from the hospital??? That's right!  I get to leave Wednesday the 18th, after 8 days in the hospital. It was a logistical thing. I have a super important court date on for "Shoes (our AMAZING foster son) soon." So Doc knew before he admitted me that I would be leaving by that day... So what does this mean for me and my health??? Well, I need to make sure I continue the same treatment schedule I would in the hospital. So 4 sets of nebs a day. 8am, noon, 4pm, 8pm. Which means I finish my course of IVs at home. I will be on IV's at least until 27th (so 1.5 weeks left). I came into the hospital on Tuesday the 10th, but we didn't realize until Friday the 13th that my Psuedomonas is resistant to all of the antibiotic options for IVs except one med. So on the 13th we switched to Avycaz, which is a newer, hard hitting antibiotic that was brought to market less than 3 years ago. We were hoping I...
