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

First blog: Hello

My first Blog: A little About Me I'm not sure why I have decided to start a blog, however, here I am.  I have honestly thought about writing about my life for years, but have always chickened out. I have finally decided to share the experiences life has thrown at me. The biggest reason I have been asked to blog by people is because of everything I have dealt with medically. I have Cystic Fibrosis and a few other medical problems...This is probably the best reason why I should blog. I can relate to others who are dealing with medical problems, however,my CF is also why I did not want to write this blog. CF can be embarssing and annoying sometimes... but it  has helped define who I have become to be as a person. Therefore, (yes, even though I want it cured) I don't hate having CF. Let me start off with some basic info and statements. I'm 26 yrs old and have dealt with CF all my life. In this blog you will hear recent stories (good, bad, embarassing); a...

Cystic Fibrosis Clinic Results. Not what I wanted, but...

My Results: I went down in lung function 2% points and lost  a couple more lbs. So I'm at 102. I was really disappointed with myself. I know that I have been doing  my meds and I have been doing my stomach feeding most nights too.  I have been making the right decisions and all my friends have been very supportive. I bring my nebulizers over to their houses to do them if we are hanging out, etc. It just wasn't enough this clinic. I really thought there would be a slight increase. However, I haven't been jogging since it is cold outside. And I know waitressing has been making it hard to gain weight. Plus, its winter. It is always harder for me to stay healthy in the winter. Dr. B was still pleased. He said "I should give myself a break, I have been doing everything he asked, I ran a 5K, and I'm still doing well." And that is true 2% increase isn't a huge decrease, only if I continue to decrease then there is a problem. Dr. B told me that I need to focus...
