"Mixed Up " Monday. Randomness.

"Mixed Up" Monday

Yesterday, was a day full of random stuff. Random GOOD stuff, but still. I had no car, as it is still dead in my Garage (but it's getting looked at tonight). I spent the morning hanging out with my lil cousin, then had lunch with my friend, Sarah. I finished the outline for my headboard, so it could be cut out. I then just have to paint it and attach it (a project I started over a month ago..lol). I did my meds and went to Tech rehearsal. I'm doing spotlight for Mulan Jr. Which I have never done before. I have worked with running the lightboard once, when I was in high school. But first time ever doing spotlight.

Earlier in the day, after I styled my hair for the day, I realized how boring it was to do my hair. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my short hair. Short hair looks better on me, but as you may know I never get the same hair style or cut twice. I get bored and like changing it up. With it being short, I can't braid it or anything. I never want to permanently dye my hair, then I couldn't change it. However, I had some washable dye in my cloest and I decided to throw some blue in my bangs.

Of course, Wednesday, I'm going job hunting. Therefore, all the blue will disappear on Tuesday night and reappear Thursday.

As far as job hunting, not sure where all to go, but I know I need a job! Summer almost over, so I will be done watching all the kids. Keeping fingers crosses for something. Besides babysitting, job hunting, and doing Tech, I'm going to start jogging again!

I'm hoping my medical problems will not come back. I found another 5K to do! It is at the beginning of September! Very excited to try again! Fingers crossed this one works out!

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

Post- Surgery Appointment

Post Surgery Appt: As you prolly know, I had Laparoscopic Triple Hernia Surgery last Tuesday. Here was a picture of me devouring a piece of bread so I could go home afterward the surgery (4 hours post surgery and 20 mins post waking up from recovery). I was ready to go home! Today I had my post surgery check up. He said everything in the surgery went well and besides the finding the 3rd hernia there were no surprises. He pointed out where the staples/stitches (they are holding the mesh in place) are in me. I have two on each side at the end of the mesh (so 4 on top) and two down farther in my groin. Apparently, I just have one huge piece of mesh that runs the width and length of my whole abdomen/groin area. Bahaha. I am Inspector Gadget after all. He said a few more weeks before I can lift stuff or exercise. Also, he said the area where the staples are will hurt when bending or twisting. However, I only notice really when I twist or turn too fast. Overall, it was a nice appointment

Big Update Time & what I need!

Time Flies: I've been blogging about all these separate things I have going on in my life. My lung function drop, the hospital stay, my stomach/ GI issues, the surgery, the Princeton IL CF walk, my fight with insurance for my Cayston medication/machine, and soooo much more. So here's a bit of a catch up for everyone! Let me start at the very beginning: read my CF history in this brief post here . Now let's skip ahead to the last 6 months. From September 2014 - Feb 2015 I lost 3 CF friends ( it was really tough). In September my best friend with CF (from childhood & on) passed away from CF. I wrote a post about her journey, love for life, and how she was (& is) my inspiration to fund raise (read about Laura's Journey here ). Then in October I got my G-tube taken out/ fistula fixed and removed. YAY YAY YAY! The abdominal surgery was my 15th surgery, so I recovered pretty quickly. I'm beyond thrilled to say after 15 YEARS with a G-tube and needing to u
