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.

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...

My Clinical Trial Mess

A Clinical Trial Mess: Monday, I had an appointment for a clinical trial evaluation. Let me start out by saying, I always get  amazing care at my doctors...HOWEVER, this evaluation was done by a third party brought in to handle the research. The research nurse was a flibberty jibbet. She was nice, but kept just re-organizing her supplies, like she didn't know what to do. She seemed nervous. She mentioned she usually had another nurse with her. She took my weight, height, urine test, pre-med spirometry test (PFT-pulmonary function test) Next she decided to draw the blood, while waiting for the pft results to print. She got out the supplies and the sterile paper that she places it all on. She dropped te paper on the floor and proceeded to place the packaged needles and supplies on it.... So in my head I tell myself "Okay...( inhale control exhale my germfreak...) it's okay, it won't kill me..it only touches the bottom of my arm, not the actual place that she is dra...

End of Summer -Updates!

Wow, I can't believe it's been a year since we moved our blog to www.MoreThanDNA.org! A lot has happened in that year. My husband and I became Foster Parents to some amazing kiddos and still have one of those kiddos living with us. We have loved having "Shoes" with us and can't believe how much he has grown and learned in the year!I'm so proud of him! We have court next week, so prayers that it goes okay (and doesn't get continued again- that just drags it out longer for the kids). He is now 39 months old and starting Pre-K this month! Other big changes include: Some renovation to our home (complete Bath rehab & updated plumbing throughout), I started a new gene-targeting medication (symdeko) that is helping to keep me stable these last 3 months, and I got an AffloVest! I'm loving my new portable vest! Also, career wise...we both switched jobs! Andrew also started Seminary this summer to get a Masters Degree in Divinity. He has always wanted to be ...
