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...

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 appoint...

The Stork Came!

It finally happened!!! The Stork came to our house!! We had 3 kids placed with us (on August 4th) Friday afternoon. Luckily, Andrew was able to take off Friday-Monday (Aug 4th-7th) to be home as we all adjust the first few days. He then worked 8th-12th, but we needed him back home more until the kiddos started school. So took a full second week off, because it was really rough ! Big thanks to Culvers & Phil for allowing us time we needed. I love having kids in the house, but it's a lot of appointments for these kiddos at first. . For privacy reasons, I will never use their names or post pictures of them. I have made fake names for these posts. When they called I was a little nervous to take 3 kids at once, especially since I have Cystic Fibrosis. We had agreed on only 2 originally. But, the lady explained the 3 of them really needed somewhere. Most foster parent's don't take sibling groups and it is really rare to find one that will take three, so our hearts wanted to ...
