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.

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...

No Holiday Blues, just Tummy Troubles!

Stomach Issues, Gee, Wonder Why: Let me start by stating that, I take a lot of pills. Its not a big deal and all of them are very important. I take vitamins, oral antibiotics, some oral steriods, pills for acid reflux, pills for arthritis, and then enzymes every time I eat.  But lots of people don't realize how crucial those pills are to me (well, to us CFers) I take 5-6 enzymes with meals and 3-4 with snacks (so 30 enzymes, and 10 other random pills a day). I have been good about taking them. I hate that Cystic Fibrosis affects my digestive system so much. If I can't digest anything, I won't have the nutrients I need to keep healthy, or be able to digest the food to keep weight on. Over the years, the enzymes have gotten better and help us absorb more. I've been on Pancreas, Creon, and now have been on Zenpep for the last couples years. I love my Zenpep ( read the RX list for Zenpep here ) However, the enzymes weren't effective en...

Husband and Wife

We Took Our Vows: Sunday, August 16th, Andrew and I said "I do." People asked me all weekend if I was getting nervous and now that we are married people ask how married life is going. Well, here is what I have been telling everyone.  No, I wasn't nervous about the wedding or marrying Andrew. I was slightly nervous I'd fall flat on my face in 2 inch heels walking down the aisle (which was grass). But, why would I be nervous to get married to Andrew. I've never had a doubt in my mind about him. I knew I wanted to marry him. We were  ready to be husband and wife and you just know when you are ready. So no, I wasn't nervous. And now that we are married I'd have to say life is similar to it was before we were married. People say "oh things change after you're married." But they didn't for us. I'm not sure if that's because we are open with each other, or have been through a lot early on in our relationship. Read this past post ab...
