Really? Ok bring it on..

Ok, let's do this:

So as you all know, I'm happily home from the hospital! I was very VERY excited to get to come home. :-) Nothing better than being in my own house again! Having my own bed, food, and SHOWER!

I've been doing pretty good. Today, I was a lil tired, shaky, and had a tiny fever this evening. But that is probably from doing too much. I'm not working yet, but I went to my classes, and I'm trying to get my errands/ house stuff done. So overall, it has been going really well. My mouth is completely healed, my finger (that got the virus in it), is getting better. It reminds me of Dumbledore's hand...LOL. So life seems to be falling back into place :-)

But... apparently, the surgery that had to be cancelled due to my getting sick has been rescheduled for this coming Tues. Which means I can't get sick between now and then!! To be honest, I wanted to put it off til May. I was hoping to not miss classes and be able to go back to work. Let's face it, just because I can't work, doesn't mean the bills stop coming.

But, I talked it over with my Doc. And with my being a waittress and doing a lot of dancing in the musical, it could get worse. Right now, it isn't really a problem. It doesnt really hurt much, but with my fast paced activites/job, it will just get worse. Then I will have to have surgery, but it would be an emergency surgery. So, I guess it makes sense to do it now. So Doc/Surgeon wins.

I'm not looking forward to not being able to work for another week, or not being able to dance either. I'm not sure how it will work with my missing classes next week, or for that matter... I'm pretty sure my real estate books alone are over the weight limit I will be "allowed" to carry afterwards.

But somehow, it will work out. It always does. My professors are really cool and I'm getting pretty solid A's in all my classes, so it should be okay. My bosses have been really understanding about everything, they both know I have CF (thank goodness). And I will still be able to go to rehearsals and watch the dances, I'm a quick learner with dancing, so I should be fine. I will just be an extra/ dancer in the numbers I already learned and any others I can still learn.  As far as my bills, thats why I have a savings account.  I never know when CF will decide to interupt my life, so I'm always prepared!

At least it will be done with and I won't have to worry about it anymore. I've got a plan, I have told everyone. So Tuesday hurry up and come, so I can get this over with and get back to my life! :-)

  1. That's too bad to hear that the surgery is going to be so soon, but at least you can get everything over at once. Plus this way you won't still be recovering from surgery at the CF walk in June.

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...

LOTS, LOTS, LOTS to Tell!

Doing What I Can: People can tell me " Wow, how do you keep up with all that" (referring to all my meds). Sometimes people tell me "That's so awesome that you are doing all that".... Well, I guess, but not really. I just do what the doctors tell me, I know its the best chance I have to living a longer fuller and better quality of life. Plus I have lot of help from Andrew, family, and friends! Right now the main thing I'm working on is: 1. Keeping my lungs at 56% (since my last appointment ) AND 2. following the dietary restrictions the GI specialist gave me (read about that appt here ) & I'm keeping my Food Journal for him to look at. Here's how that is going: Okay...  For the last 7 days I've had no meat in my diet. I really miss my meat and to be honest it didn't help a lot. This week starting today I'm no dairy for 7 days. Then I'm no meat and dairy... Then no gluten for a week. I go back to the specialist in 5 weeks. I...
