2013: The CF Walk & update!

CF Walk 2013 HollowayVille:

The CF walk went amazing! I had a team of 32 people and we raised around $3,000 for the Cf Foundation! The walk was at a location pretty close to my hometown, which worked well for my family and friends! I had so much fun and feel so lucky to have so many people who care about me and what happens with research for Cystic Fibrosis.








Surgery:

I'm all scheduled to have my surgery tomorrow. It has been cancelled twice since March due to my getting sick or having medical problems come up. And once again, I now have some sores in my mouth and on my lips(just like I did when I got that virus/thrush in March). So I'm pretty sure they won't be operating on me tomorrow. I called Dr. Boas and now I'm just waiting for a response. I'm not sure what they will want me to do. As long as it doesn't get worse I shouldn't have to be hospitalized. He will probably order some meds for me and we will see what happens!

I'm so bummed, I really just want this surgery to be done with, what horrible luck. If the surgery was done I could recover and be back to my old dancing/jogging self. Its hard not to lift heavy objects, run around, or dance. I want to work on my lung function and overall health, its hard to do I'm limited with activity, etc.

So I will just wait and see what happens. I can't take off more time from work this summer. I will probably end up pushing it off until this Fall. Frustrating.

I have been doing all my meds though, and will continue to keep up with them. I made the promise:

As of right now, I owe all meds through Sept 28th. If my Team's final amount does reach $3,000 then I will owe all meds through November 7th!
So thanks to everyone donating I will hopefully be one very healthy girl soon! :-) Love <3

I will blog some updates on surgery and final amount raised tomorrow.

LOTS, LOTS, LOTS to Tell!

Doing What I Can: People can tell me " Wow, how do you keep up with all that" (referring to all my meds). Sometimes people tell me "That's so awesome that you are doing all that".... Well, I guess, but not really. I just do what the doctors tell me, I know its the best chance I have to living a longer fuller and better quality of life. Plus I have lot of help from Andrew, family, and friends! Right now the main thing I'm working on is: 1. Keeping my lungs at 56% (since my last appointment ) AND 2. following the dietary restrictions the GI specialist gave me (read about that appt here ) & I'm keeping my Food Journal for him to look at. Here's how that is going: Okay...  For the last 7 days I've had no meat in my diet. I really miss my meat and to be honest it didn't help a lot. This week starting today I'm no dairy for 7 days. Then I'm no meat and dairy... Then no gluten for a week. I go back to the specialist in 5 weeks. I...
