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!

  1. 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 ;)

Updates Galore!

Big News, Big Times, Big Change: I had my post hospital Doctor's appointment on April 21st and it went well. I posted a video on my CF facebook page. My weight is back on track, heading up. Also, my lung function was around 55%, so that's almost my baseline. I got to take my needle out that night. OH BOY!! I loved being needle free! Whoohoo no more IVs!!!!! In the last week I have been super busy with a few different things. 1. Work. I have a new client AND I had all my post licensing webinars & exams this last week! 2. More CF Foundation Volunteer work. I held a presentation in my home town, where I discussed CF, the different mutations & severity of classes, as well as fundraising for great strides. I talked about the history of the CF foundation, care centers, and more about our local IL CF fundraisers. Overall, it wasn't a big turn out, so I was a little bummed. My hometown has always supported my CF cause, so it was disappointing not to have a good numb...

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...
