Surgery Still On, I Can Do This!

I can keep it up:

This past blog I discussed my fail at doing everything I needed to. I mentioned having a fever, well the Cipro is doing nothing. I'm not responding to it. I've probably built up a tolerance. So they are putting me on some steroids for the next four days and instead I'm supposed to focus on doing extra nebs A LOT and I'm supposed to do Cayston and Tobi, which usually I only do one a month, because they are nebulized antibiotics. But I will be doing both until after my surgery. And good news my temperature has been normal most of today and only went up to 99.5 for an hour ish.

So if I do tons of meds, walk on the treadmill and get my lungs working better. All should be well with my surgery on Tuesday. But I need to actually do it! So I apologize in advance if I don't hang out or do much this week. I need to get healthy by Tues. I have ONE WEEK to do this and  I need this surgery. Without it work won't happen. Without work I get farther behind in bills and it just can't go that way.

So here it is. Day 1 of kicking my booty in gear!

AND THANK YOU! I have reached my personal goal of $1,000 for the Cf Walk! I'm hoping my team can raise double what we did last year (roughly $2,500 this year)!!!! I'm sooo lucky to have my family and friends there to support me! I can't wait until Saturday to see everyone, you have no idea. I look forward to the CF Walk more than I do Christmas. It reminds me why we (Cfers) fight so hard. We fight for everyone we love. And I know I am very lucky to have so many people in my life who love me and are willing to donate, fundraise and walk every year! 

I am one lucky girl! http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/dsp_DonationPage.cfm?walkid=8670&idUser=187918

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...

Time for a Change!

I have been blogging at www.cheriz.org since 2012. So an amazing 5 years! I found my forever career, my husband, my first & forever home! I said good-bye to my Stomach Tube & had some mjor medical transitions!  However, CF affects a lot more than myself now. It affects Andrew, soon we will have kids in the house. To call my blog Cheriz- just doesn't make sense anymore. Coming up with a new name was super hard! However, my new blog is More Than DNA! ( MoreThanDNA.org ) Why did I name it that? Because I am MORE than my CF (or mutated DNA that makes up my CF). My family also will not have shared DNA. Any kids in our house (whether we adopt or foster children or not) will be considered our family & we don't think it matters that they won't have shared DNA. DNA does not define our family or us as an individual. We are more than our DNA! I have posted my first blog post at the new site! But I'm working on moving a lot my archives from this blog over. So it...
