Loved my Weekend with Dan!

Weekend with Dan!

This weekend was my friend Spencer's Wedding. Which is in the town next to where my friend Dan lives. So I drove there Friday and stayed with Dan this weekend!

I had a lot of fun! I always do when I'm hanging out with Dan! Even though we were pretty busy and had lots of fun, I still made time for my meds and even got a jog in! The street he lives on has a ton of historic homes and I loved looking at them, and even ended taking some pictures!

The wedding was really fun too! Spencer and Kayla came out into the reception hall singing to each other, pretty darn cute! It was nice seeing everyone! Dan and I got to swing dance quite a bit too! I had a great weekend last weekend and I know next weekend will be just as eventful!

Next weekend is my first 5K, then I'm driving to Peoria to attend a Bags Tournament that Dream Factory is hosting, I'll help out there, then head to Champaign-Urbana! My friend Alex is musical director for Rent! So I'm going to that and hanging out with my old roomie, Stacey, before she moves to Kansas City! I'm also going to stop on my way home at my friend Sarah's!

Busy,Busy, Busy. But fun,fun,fun!

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...

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 ...

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...
