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!

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 ...

First, of all since I was admitted last Thurirsday morning, I have gained weight. 1. because I don't have time to make food and eat at home as much as I need and 2. Who wouldn't devore a meal of roast beef, potatoes, veggies, fruit, and pudding at 6pm then order anothertray with shrimp and rice, and more dessert at 7pm? 1. So as of today I am 107.4 lbs! This is the highest I have been in a very long time. To check out my weight and lung functions changes over the years click here- Clinic-My Health Page! Only, down side...I need to buy new pants and running shorts, none of them fit me...I'm cheap and picky with clothes..so it may take a while. However, I'm sure a trip to Delia's will change my mind. Ps. for some reason Delia's usually fit, when others are t...
