Update on my Mummy Disease

My Mummy Disease Update:

My ankles are sore, but otherwise It's almost gone! I have two big spots left on my feet, but otherwise the spots have cleared up. I can't decide if I want them to stay away for good, or (this sounds bad) hope they come back next weekend, since I have CF clinic on Saturday! If they did come back Dr. B could see them in person. But, I don't want to deal with them anymore...ugh.

I had them July 19-21st ish, then they disappeared. Re-appeared at night on the 28th, disappeared the next day and re-appeared Friday, August 3rd. Why won't they go away for good!

I'm sorry to everyone I missed this weekend. However, the weekend turned out better than I thought, my parents drove me to my sister's apt in Peoria today. So I got to see where she lives,etc.

I'm very proud of her, she worked very hard in school at Augustana (Music Ed Major- Majoring in both Choir and Band, K-12 certified) and it paid off. After sending out only 5 job applications and doing 3 interveiws, she got offered a job the following day at one of them. BAM, Job!

I'm actually trying to find more jobs. I want to save some more money for Grad School. I hope to go to Grad school next year. I'm debating on applying this Jan or Fall semester.

We'll see. I'm glad my mummy disease is gone for now. I think if Doctors find out it's not really CF-related Arthritis, we should name it "Mummy Disease," hahaha!

Anyway that was my weekend and hopefully I will do okay at Clinic Saturday and Mummy disease will retire from my system for good! :-)

oh and I will be jogging tomorrow night!

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 ...

My Clinical Trial Mess

A Clinical Trial Mess: Monday, I had an appointment for a clinical trial evaluation. Let me start out by saying, I always get  amazing care at my doctors...HOWEVER, this evaluation was done by a third party brought in to handle the research. The research nurse was a flibberty jibbet. She was nice, but kept just re-organizing her supplies, like she didn't know what to do. She seemed nervous. She mentioned she usually had another nurse with her. She took my weight, height, urine test, pre-med spirometry test (PFT-pulmonary function test) Next she decided to draw the blood, while waiting for the pft results to print. She got out the supplies and the sterile paper that she places it all on. She dropped te paper on the floor and proceeded to place the packaged needles and supplies on it.... So in my head I tell myself "Okay...( inhale control exhale my germfreak...) it's okay, it won't kill me..it only touches the bottom of my arm, not the actual place that she is dra...
