Updates and Cystic Fibrosis Clinic.

An Update:

I have my next CF Clinic this Thursday! Yipes, I'm a lil concerned. I didn't have my therapies for a week, so I'm gonna have to work really hard the next 4 days to get my lungs in better shape. Also, weight wise, not what I was hoping for. But otherwise, I'm doing good!

Its sooo weird how fast I can drop weight. Seriously, a couple days ago while weighing myself at mom's I weighed 98 lbs. I need to get back up to 107 again (dr. B wants 115).

However, today this is my weight:
Not sure how I dropped so much, especially since yesterday I had breakfast, lunch, steak n shake last night (with some friends) And I even hung out with a friend and had a couple beers last night. I didn't jog, or do any dance practices, just work, and went saw a show. Calorie wise, I shouldn't have lost any weight yesterday.

[side note: I don't drink much or often, but I did start drinking in 2012, when my dr. gave me the "green light" and said it is okay sometimes; But in no way do I think it is the best idea for every CFer, due to liver issues/ liver transplants. Be smart and Safe.]

 Guess, I'm just going to keep working at my weight, maybe start drinking nutiritional drinks before work. I think between waitressing and running around between classes and play practices the weight just melts off. 

Ps. Did you all notice my awesome socks :-)

Otherwise, I'm doing great. I'm back into the swing of doing my CF Challenge (read about it here!) Excited about the plays I'm in, keepin up with homework and work related stuff. Started to do a little jogging, not too much since my weight is low. My Stomach Tube is a lot better than it was and my surgery for the double hernias is March 12th @ 6:30 am. I have spring break from classes that week, then I will take off a couple days for work too. So that should work out perfect! Yay!

Everything is coming together very nicely :-)

And

Happy SuperBowl Sunday!

    Good luck at clinic. Sorry you didn't have your meds for so long :( It is hard to miss any treatments let alone a week. And hey, what is life without a few beers once in a while ;)

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 ...

Oh the Joys of a Colonoscopy!

Colonoscopy, Fun: As you may remember from reading my October Posts (  Oct Post #1   &  2nd Oct Post ) that I was admitted a second time that month for Gastrointestinal issues. I was having stomach cramps and what was believed to be Antibiotic Associated Diarrhea. However, CT scan revealed my colon and intestines were inflammed.  After having a rough 2 months of GI issues, and cuting out most food (diary, meat, grease, carbonated beverages, and sugar). I finally am getting a Colonoscopy to see what in the world is going on! I'm been taking Probiotics, was on meds for both C. diff and AAD. I even added driking Kefir to add to the probiotics and good bacteria.  Only now am I seeing any changes, less stomach aches, etc. I add a 1/2 cup pf the Kefir to my smoothie, its not bad -yum! I really reccommend it and Probiotics (so talk to your doctor about it), it could really help you out! Read about Colonoscopies here! So I'm glad to be g...

What Else Should I Do?

Need Some Feedback.       May has almost come to an end. I love May, nice weather, summer starts, AND its Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month! A lot of the CF walks are in may and its a great time to raise funds and awareness for CF! However, I'm also excited that it will be June soon! June 28th is the Princeton Cystic Fibrosis Walk. I've helped organize other events in the past. Whether for school or other non-profits I've volunteered at, but this CF Walk is a little different. It is the first time, I've put together a City event. Or put together an event that is so near and dear to my heart. I'm so thankful that I had so many people sign up so quickly. Pretty much everyone family member I have on my mom's side signed up the first day. And I've have had some family and friends help me (giving me ideas, helping me recruit, etc). But, Its the first time I didn't have a committee or team behind me to help execute the ideas and actually plan the event. I lo...
