Haha my family, and Clinic Tues!

Today:

I had tons of different plans today. I was planning on getting donuts at Larry's and ended up going to the Big apple with my Family for breakfast. I worked then went to a Bridal Shower, then I originally had a date night planned, which failed so I planned a phone date with a friend of mine, which got rescheduled for tomorrow. :-) So then I had a nap and some work planned, cuz I was tired and need to get some stuff done. However, I thought it would be nice to help the family out with the planting the garden tonight. So skipped the nap and went to my parents. Love my family:

Dad assigned the jobs...
Mom's Job: Tells Dad Where to plant the veggies
Ada's Job: Gets to water the plants unless she sprays it too much or gets dad wet.
My Job: Pick up empty containers and hand dad tools.
Dad's Job: Do all the physical and dirty work :-)

Wow, I was useful. But really it was hilarious. Dad comes walking out of the Garage..

Ada: "There's Dad with the Ho(e)" (dad carrying a rake and hoe)

Later on:
Dad: "I need the Ho(e)"
Ada's Response : "Cheriz"
(I stare at her trying to figure out if she just called me a Ho or was saying my name meaning for me to get the hoe....) she is clever enough, she meant both.

Later when Dad and I were the only ones outside:
Dad: "Cheriz, go turn on the water... (runs to house) Wait come here (runs back) nevermind, I got it now, go turn on the water (runs to water) Oh, wait..... Oh, ok, Now.... Oh, turn it off." (dad walks to garage returns with sprinkler... Repeat actions...)

However, TODAY is my parents 29th Wedding Anniversary and it is a little cute as a family we got have breakfast and plant mom's garden :-)

I just got home and received a text that a friend of mine is popping over tonight to chat :-)  Today started out with such a different plan, I just kinda flew by the seat of my pants.

And Tuesday is Clinic (dun dun dun). I know what he'll say : "You've lost weight, your lung function decreased, you need to have that surgery, and my vitamin D levels are still non-existent. fingers crossed it works out okay. I hate when he is disappointed or I disappoint everyone who loves me and I always get really upset with myself after clinic. I usually start getting upset about clinics if I think they will be "bad" a week a head of time. So this whole week I've been dreading this tues. Let's get it over with.

Also, just so ya know. I'm scheduling surgery, gonna talk to Doc about Vit D, and hopefully gets some stuff figured out, so it won't be all bad, I'm just a nervous nelly about Clinics!

  1. Clinic probably will be bad, but at least this time you know it's because of the stupid insurance company (weren't you also in the hospital for a few days earlier this year) and not your skipping meds. You've gotten things back on track in the past and you'll do it again. Hopefully you'll come home with a good game plan of how to get everything back to where it should be.

  2. Do you take vitamin D pills? I've been taking 2 calcium +D vitamins everyday for the last several years and my vitamin D levels are actually a little high so I cut down to one a day....might want to ask your Dr about that - unless you're already doing that...just a thought.

5K. I could cry. Beyond Annoyed.

My 5K I paid my registartion fee weeks ago, have been training and I'm ready for the 5K. However, I didn't get to run my 5K today. Why? Because Cystic Fibrosis decided to one up me. I got my spots back friday, and they just got worse and worse. They look like this: They take over my feet, and sometimes my calves. I posted about this a few weeks ago. I had them during the last few performances of Hairspray. I call it the "Mummy disease" because when it happens my joints freeze up and I can't move. So the morning of my 5K I wake up and they are on my thighs...     and on my arms. This is the worst they have been in years. I took pictures to show Dr. B at my clinic on the 11th.  I'm just really bummed and upset about my weekend! I was supposed to run my first 5K!!!!! I then had a bags tournament in Peoria for the Dream Factory, and was then going to head to Champaign for Sat night- Monday! My friend Alex, reserved me a ticket for Ren...

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...

A Hospital at Home

Coming home from the hospital takes a balance..... Wait.... Did I just say home from the hospital??? That's right!  I get to leave Wednesday the 18th, after 8 days in the hospital. It was a logistical thing. I have a super important court date on for "Shoes (our AMAZING foster son) soon." So Doc knew before he admitted me that I would be leaving by that day... So what does this mean for me and my health??? Well, I need to make sure I continue the same treatment schedule I would in the hospital. So 4 sets of nebs a day. 8am, noon, 4pm, 8pm. Which means I finish my course of IVs at home. I will be on IV's at least until 27th (so 1.5 weeks left). I came into the hospital on Tuesday the 10th, but we didn't realize until Friday the 13th that my Psuedomonas is resistant to all of the antibiotic options for IVs except one med. So on the 13th we switched to Avycaz, which is a newer, hard hitting antibiotic that was brought to market less than 3 years ago. We were hoping I...
