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...

Time for a Change!

I have been blogging at www.cheriz.org since 2012. So an amazing 5 years! I found my forever career, my husband, my first & forever home! I said good-bye to my Stomach Tube & had some mjor medical transitions!  However, CF affects a lot more than myself now. It affects Andrew, soon we will have kids in the house. To call my blog Cheriz- just doesn't make sense anymore. Coming up with a new name was super hard! However, my new blog is More Than DNA! ( MoreThanDNA.org ) Why did I name it that? Because I am MORE than my CF (or mutated DNA that makes up my CF). My family also will not have shared DNA. Any kids in our house (whether we adopt or foster children or not) will be considered our family & we don't think it matters that they won't have shared DNA. DNA does not define our family or us as an individual. We are more than our DNA! I have posted my first blog post at the new site! But I'm working on moving a lot my archives from this blog over. So it...
