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!

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 ...
