Xanadu, Insurnace and Some Denny's

Xanadu!

The musical Xanadu opened last night! The audience was smaller than what we had hoped for, but with all the flooding and bridges closed.... What  can you do? Xanadu has a great cast. I have loved seeing all of them. When it's over It will be bittersweet.

I will miss seeing everyone and spending time with them. I could use the time to catch up on homework, work extra shifts, or spend it doing meds. This last week has been particularly frustrating as the company my Dad works for got bought and our insurance changed. So of course they started denying my meds. I got almost all of it figured out yesterday. But now they said they need a couple more days to straighten out everything with the pharmacy (apparently my CF pharmacy wasn't in contract with them...ugh) So after we looked up stuff on line and I called a couple people, waited on hold for a couple hours, and rationally discussed (lol) everything over the last two days. We have come to an understanding. Except my TOBI and CAYSTON.  I will be excited to get my hypertonic saline back. I ran out of it over a week ago. I haven't had Vitamin D in a couple days either. My lungs are getting pretty crappy from lack of hypertonic and time to do my vest. I've been slacking on doing the Vest...

After the last number in the show we do an encore dance and it is a little too much for my lungs, which is sad. When I had really good lung function I could dance for hours. So I need to work on my lungs hard core. Cuz last night I didn't even get to greet people in the line. I was coughing too much/ having a mini asthma attack :-( So I hope that doesn't happen when my family comes.

Last night we celebrated a good friend's Bday at Dennys. He's getting old.. haha j/k Matty. But it was nice and really fun. Been a while since the whole group went out! Here is a pic of Alicia and I at Denny's. As you can see I'm still sporting the Mohawk I wear in the show! :-)

Well, sorry I haven't been blogging as much! Today, I got up early though ran errands, came home did meds, changed, and now I'm getting ready to head out the door for work. :-)

LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER GREAT PERFORMACE OF XANADU tonight @8pm at St. Bede, in Peru, IL Tickets $15

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 ...

Oh the Joys of a Colonoscopy!

Colonoscopy, Fun: As you may remember from reading my October Posts (  Oct Post #1   &  2nd Oct Post ) that I was admitted a second time that month for Gastrointestinal issues. I was having stomach cramps and what was believed to be Antibiotic Associated Diarrhea. However, CT scan revealed my colon and intestines were inflammed.  After having a rough 2 months of GI issues, and cuting out most food (diary, meat, grease, carbonated beverages, and sugar). I finally am getting a Colonoscopy to see what in the world is going on! I'm been taking Probiotics, was on meds for both C. diff and AAD. I even added driking Kefir to add to the probiotics and good bacteria.  Only now am I seeing any changes, less stomach aches, etc. I add a 1/2 cup pf the Kefir to my smoothie, its not bad -yum! I really reccommend it and Probiotics (so talk to your doctor about it), it could really help you out! Read about Colonoscopies here! So I'm glad to be g...

Um..Need to clear my head.

I was having a good day, it was one of my babysitting girl's bdays! We went for ice cream, I hung out with a friend and watched "Game of Thrones". I really liked it and I'm hoping to watch more this wknd. Then I logged onto Facebook to see that my best friend Laura (with CF) is down in lung function, on oxygen at night and her doctor is putting her on the Transplant list. I have lots of thoughts going through my head the MAIN one is "Please let her get a Tx soon, heal well and fast, and live her full life, they way she deserves to! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!" I can't imagine how she must feel, I know I'm sad knowing she is at point she needs one, but HAPPY she will get on the list! Happy, Sad, Scared, Excited. How do I feel..? The worst part is knowing that she is pain. I just want to take all that away, give her some good n plentys (one of our fave candy), kiss her on the forehead, tell her I love her, and that before she knows it she will have...
