Crazy week, but a friend got new lungs, yay!

Rashes, Scrapes The Play, and Got Some GOOD News Today:


My days have been soo random and roller coaster-ish lately. Which is fine, it keeps life interesting, and have ups and downs everyday is a lot better than just having plain ol bad days.

But for example the other night, I aced my exam (good), enjoyed play practice, found our a friend was admitted for CF problems, and I started having my allergic reaction to the med I'm on. This was within a couple hours of each other. It was crazy.

And today, I worked at both jobs and made pretty good tips! Which was awesome. However, I do look like a weirdo cuz i have a rash that keeps appearing. Which I think I have figured out what I'm allergic to, I started a couple new pills 2 weeks ago, so Dr. B and I will discuss it Monday over the phone and all will be well.. (my legs were pure spots/rash, sorry bad picture!)

And I lost my balance tonight and  I fell stepping down into my garage (2 steps, yep, lame). Landed with the step in my back and of course I try to catch myself. Bad Idea, I scraped my arm up... I'm so glad for the play I wear long sleeves and no shorts. Otherwise I'd be in full body make-up!

I'm very excited about the play being next weekend! Its a great cast, its a small cast of like 6 people, but it has been a lot of fun!

BUT THEN I get home, log into Facebook to find out my Cyster (friend I met online with CF), Alyssa has received her new lungs and is stable in the ICU! She has been patiently waiting for new lungs, I'm excited for her to get this 2nd chance! I hope and pray she continues to recover well and fast! Seriously, seeing the update online made my night :-)

How exciting for her, her family and friends!

Tomorrow night we start tech week for the show! Hope to see some family and friends there either (Wed- Family Night), or one of the nights it performs (Fri-Sun)! This week is going to be a lot of fun! <3

And in a couple weeks my arthritis [note: the appointment went well, but they have to rule out all other diseases/causes first. so willl let you know when I do] will start to be figured out, my surgery will be over, my exams will be over, one play will be done with, and life will become a lot simpler. OOOOH and I'm signing up for another 5K in June! Keep you posted on that! :-)

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 ...

Updates!

First, of all since I was admitted last Thurirsday morning, I have gained weight. 1. because I don't have time to make food and eat at home as much as I need and 2. Who wouldn't devore a meal of roast beef, potatoes, veggies, fruit, and pudding at 6pm then order anothertray with shrimp and rice, and more dessert at 7pm? 1. So as of today I am 107.4 lbs! This is the highest I have been in a very long time. To check out my weight and lung functions changes over the years click here- Clinic-My Health Page! Only, down side...I need to buy new pants and running shorts, none of them fit me...I'm cheap and picky with clothes..so it may take a while. However, I'm sure a trip to Delia's will change my mind. Ps. for some reason Delia's usually fit, when others are t...
