Mornings come too early.

Mornings come to early.

The things about mornings that drives me nuts, is it is the one single thing about CF I dislike the most. I don't mind CF most of the time. But in mornings....ugh.

A night, when I'm doing therapies, I'm already getting ready for bed/in bed and I can read, do homework, etc. Not as big of a deal.

But knowing when my alarm goes off at 5 or 5:30 am, just because I have an  hours worth of treatments to do, its gets old. Its not much a of a motivation to get up on time. Which is where I run into trouble. I will tell myself, "well If I didn't have to do therapies or have CF, I could of slept another hour, probably two (do to losing one during the treatmensts before beds). Then I roll over and will sleep through my morning meds.

Ruh Roh, alarm goes off again. I jump out of bed. "CRAP!" I grab my therapy machine and end up only doing two of my 4 nebulizers most mornings (plus I skip my vest) and I'm doing them while blow drying my hair and putting on make up on the bathroom. So when I come home I always find my therapy machine on the kitchen sink....lol Good place for it. :-) It does save time though!

I don't skip them all the time, but on nights when I get home from play practice at midnight, or I work late, or get home from night class after 10pm, I will tend to skip the next morning.

But here is my proof that this morning, this girl did them all! And I'm going to keep trying to do them! I've noticed the last two days having the vest working again has helped a lot. I definetly need to keep using it more!


Also note: I'm sharing this pic of me with no make up on and yep that is my hair sticking out everywhere. This is the real me every morning!

Black Plague ( known as Cepacia B)

Black Plague I had a long car drive home to think, so this is long, but heartfelt. Tonight I went to a meeting for a non-profit I help with and while discussing somebody's anger issues. I decided to share a part of my past with the board that was there. I still am in shock I did so, considering very, VERY, few people know this. But I'm not ashamed and feel like others have been in my place. Naturally, the next step, is to share it on a blog, where everyone has access to it. (heh.) When I was little around middle school age I had some anger issues. I used to get angry over nothing and scream and once in a while even push my mom ( luckily I was tiny and not very strong). She would just hug me and tell me she loved me, she never got angry back.  She knew I was angry because quite a few of my friends with Cystic Fibrosis were passing away, from Cepacia B and other infections that were spreading ( apparently at the parties, camps, and apts) around. About a yea...

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...

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 ...
