Cancelled surgery and seizures

Craziness

 My surgery got cancelled. My Dr. didn't clear me for it. Bummerz So I'm gonna have to push it back til summer. I can't afford  to miss another two weeks of classes and work right now anyway. 

I would have loved to get it done with. And my waitressing and dancing in the play will make it worse over time. So that's :-( But it will be fine until classes are over and then I will try scheduling it again.

Plus side: My sister will be home in the summer, so she can stay with me if I need her to.up having a Planet of the Apes Marathon is awesome! She is a Music Teacher at a private Catholic School and teaches Elementary Music PreK- 8th, Choir and Band!  Side Note: I won't miss classes, or more rehearsals. If I had it this week I prolly would still be not 100% by my birthday. AND I have more time to get my weight and lung function up before then.

 OTHER craziness:

I've been having more of my seizure things. I  have two types: 1. sometimes I'm just really slow- motion, like it takes me a while to connect what people are saying, etc. I feel tired and shaky and my breathing is shallow.  Type 2. The worse kind. Never last more than a few minutes, I think. I'm not sure. I go completely numb. I sometimes shake, I think cuz I'm not breathing well. Sometimes I forget to breath and then I gasp, Sometimes I can talk, If they are really bad I can't talk ( i have spoken gibberish before). Since I go numb, I get confused to where I am, if I'm alone. My eyesight gets weird. I feel like I'm not in my body almost. So I freak out. I hate being alone when it happens, but I feel bad when I'm with someone. There isn't much anyone can do for me, except remind me to take deep breaths.

The Neurologist said a couple years ago that they were due to mostly lack of oxygen, prolly mixed with lack of sleep and calories. He thinks its my body's way of warning me I'm in crash mode. So bottom line, there wasn't much he said besides "do what I should" and then he took my license away for 6 months.

So I'm not sure if I want to go back. BUT... If I keep having them, I will. Cuz after I have them I crash and sleep and don't feel well the rest of the day. I can't have a headache and sleep all day after having them. Besides, if I do that, then I'm not eating or doing all my meds too and that makes it worse... what a cycle.

However, I just got out of the hospital and then I went right back to classes and didn't really take it easy. So maybe that in a combination with the fact I have been coughing more (AKA: my lungs are crappy, maybe I'm lil sick ) could have triggered the series of seizures the past two days.

So we'll see what happens. I'm doing everything I need to today. Hopefully, they disappear. If not I'm not on my work schedules this week, I could make an appt.  Keep ya posted!

Oh and I excitingly got to see some of my friends this weekend for the FIRST time since getting sick two weeks ago! We saw a play, sang some karaoke, and went out for food! Good stuff :-)

5K. I could cry. Beyond Annoyed.

My 5K I paid my registartion fee weeks ago, have been training and I'm ready for the 5K. However, I didn't get to run my 5K today. Why? Because Cystic Fibrosis decided to one up me. I got my spots back friday, and they just got worse and worse. They look like this: They take over my feet, and sometimes my calves. I posted about this a few weeks ago. I had them during the last few performances of Hairspray. I call it the "Mummy disease" because when it happens my joints freeze up and I can't move. So the morning of my 5K I wake up and they are on my thighs...     and on my arms. This is the worst they have been in years. I took pictures to show Dr. B at my clinic on the 11th.  I'm just really bummed and upset about my weekend! I was supposed to run my first 5K!!!!! I then had a bags tournament in Peoria for the Dream Factory, and was then going to head to Champaign for Sat night- Monday! My friend Alex, reserved me a ticket for Ren...

My Dad Deserves More Than 1 Day!

Happy Fathers' Day to ALL the Fathers out there! I wanted to post a list to why I'm sooo thankful for my dad (its faster, bit more fun, and I gotta get ready for my Dad's Cookout still)!!! Top 15 (10 isn't enough..lol) reasons Dad should get more than a day of celebration: 15. He loves meeting people, making friends, and is quite social. 14. When something goes wrong, he is the person that can say the right thing to make me smile :-) 13. Is always honest. 12. Few yrs ago, he gave me HIS car, (so i could get back and forth to work/play practices) He rode his bike to work and back (he enjoys it too tho) 11. Best Sense of Humor! 10. He never complains, ever! 9. Growing up my Dad worked 6am-3pm at one job and 4:30-10pm at another. 8. Dad still managed to go to 99.9% of my performances 7. He is the least judgemental person ever, he talks to & helps everyone! 6. He is a pro at making doctors, insurance companies, & hospitals do ...

Society's view on my size

"You are so lucky you are so skinny" "Must be nice to eat anything you want" "Wish I could keep my weight down like you" "You're so tiny and childlike" "You could be in high school still" "Wow you're thirty, you look 16" or hearing these replies: When I say I need to gain weight , "huh, Give you some of mine" Always hearing I'm "cute or adorable," never hearing I'm "beautiful or sexy". All these things can really hurt my feelings. But let me explain further where this post is coming from. Today a friend shared on Facebook about how some posts are body shaming & lots of people don't realize it.  I hear lots of people say things like " I'm not afraid to eat a hamburger. A man likes some curves." Or I hear remarks how all people who are size 0-2 are unrealistic and anorexic, etc. I understand a lot of times people may mean to help boost...
