A week of antibiotics AND Christmas Decorations!

A Week of Antibiotics and Christmas Decorations...

I feel a lot better. I'm so glad I didn't end up on IVs or in the hospital! I have been really trying to do all my meds. And for the most part I have been. I'm not 100% back yet, but I'm headed there. I had a few days off from work in a row, which really helped. And on Saturday I had nothing planned, so we decided to have a movie marathon day at my house (with a handful of friends), so I could be lazy, do meds, eat, and relax all day. Genius idea.

When I'm sick my biggest downfall is that I keep running around. I perform in theatre, I go to parties, out with friends, stay up late.  I don't change my schedule at all, excpet I take more pills and do more therapies. Which I know I should not do as much, BUT I really can't stand not doing stuff. I loved being involved, working, going to school, etc.

Which is why I should have more friends over for movies, etc when I'm sick. I felt like I was socializing the whole day and I had a lot of fun, but it was a lot better than my usual busy day.

I now just need to look into buying a treadmill, so I can jog in the winter.  I want to continue increasing my lung function. I would love to reach 75% in a couple years. In order to do that I need to: 1. Stay Healthy 2. Gain Weight 3. Do My Meds 4. Jog

Also, I put up my tree and Christmas decorations! Here are some pictures!

My Babysitting girls made me pictures and snowflakes!











I have my Christmas decorations up, I'm getting better, what more could I ask for? :-)

    Hi Cheriz!!! I haven't left a comment in sometime......but I'm glad to hear you are doing well. Keep up all that running and your PFT's will increase. Just remember it took years for our lungs to develop all this damage. So it will take time to get those numbers back up.

    Take Care Cheriz!

Help Us Find A Cure & Thank you! Lots of new meds and treatments are being researched thanks to the CF Foundation and the people who support it! Thank you soooo much everyone for supporting me and the CF GreatStrides Walks! I hope you enjoy hearing about the cool new ways steps are being taken towards finding a cure for CF and how everyone has helped me and us (the cf community)! New Treatments And Break Throughs: As you may know, from reading my last couple blogs. Some exciting news was released!  VX-809 + Kayldeco Phase 3 (6 month clinical trials) has started! Which means if all goes well, this could be on the market in the next year or two. This drug helps target the actual faulty gene. It will help improve our lung function (hopefully gain some back, the part that isn't damaged) and will help us to slow the decline of our lungs health tremendously!

First blog: Hello

My first Blog: A little About Me I'm not sure why I have decided to start a blog, however, here I am.  I have honestly thought about writing about my life for years, but have always chickened out. I have finally decided to share the experiences life has thrown at me. The biggest reason I have been asked to blog by people is because of everything I have dealt with medically. I have Cystic Fibrosis and a few other medical problems...This is probably the best reason why I should blog. I can relate to others who are dealing with medical problems, however,my CF is also why I did not want to write this blog. CF can be embarssing and annoying sometimes... but it  has helped define who I have become to be as a person. Therefore, (yes, even though I want it cured) I don't hate having CF. Let me start off with some basic info and statements. I'm 26 yrs old and have dealt with CF all my life. In this blog you will hear recent stories (good, bad, embarassing); a...

Huge decisions, big impact

I wasn't sure if I wanted to discuss this or should write this post. I had to make a really tough decision this week. I have been struggling with it for months.

Well, here it is: I took a giant step back in my career.<insert gasp> That's right. I, Cheriz Kunkel, houses fanatic, architecture loving, Realtor, has taken a step away from her Real Estate Career. Let that sink in. NOTE: If you are looking to buy or sell- STILL CONTACT ME. I still make commission on referrals!!!! Plus, I worked with some AMAZING realtors that are friends. So please still reach out!!! Realtor of Year: 2017 I have been a Realtor for 5 years now and I have LOVED being in this industry.
