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! :-)

    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.

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...

Calling All Who Care!

     Please Read : Okay, so first off I want to say that this post is tough. It's tough to think about and write. However, it is extremely important and a huge topic in the CF Community, and is VERY NEAR AND DEAR to MY HEART!  First I want to ask you... What if I told you I needed a Transplant. That I needed to reach a certain weight, get my kindeys functioning better, get a higher pain tolerance, and get off a couple medications I take right now. What if I said I couldn't receive a 2nd chance at life unless I reached these goals and I raised a certain amount of money that seems impossible to raise. What if I had been in and out of the hospital off and on for the last year, with many surgeries, had multiple infections and my lung function dropped from 40s to the teens and now is slowly dropping still. What if I was starting to wonder if my decision to go through the grueling Transplant tests was worth it. What if I start to get down about my cf and wondering why ev...

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 ...
