Tummy Troubles again, but many NEW good changes!

All the NEWS:


   Well, you may have read earlier about my weight gain and how all my old clothes weren't fitting. Well, here's a pic of me today (before heading to work) in my new dress pants! Love the gray color! Something else new I worked a new Family Video Store today (in Glenveiw), it was only a 30 minute drive there, which is only 5-10 more minute drive than my usual driving to the Westchester store. I still work at Weschester, but filled in for an employee at the other store. I really enjoyed it, their store is a little less hectic than ours. The manager asked if I'd be willing to fill in for other shifts or pick up hours at their store too. I said sure. At Westchester in the last few weeks I worked 25- 30 hours each week.  Adding another shift at Glenveiw will bring me closer to 40 and help me test how I would do full-time (working for Family Video).

In other news... Unfortunately, I've been having some problems similar to ones that I did in the fall the last couple of days.. Pain in my stomach, etc. It hasn't been nearly as bad though..But still not pleasant having stomach pains and bathroom issues. So I'm gonna be really careful of what I eat in the next few days and see what happens. Here you can read all about my past tummy troubles and the colonoscopy I had!

Overall, my stomach issues are soo much better than they used to be. I used to have bathroom issues and stomach problems everyday before I changed my diet. But these stomach problems are different then normal ones, which I why I had the colonoscopy in the first place to rule out crohns, etc. So hopefully this will not continue to be an issue and will go away. Otherwise, I will bring it up a my next Doc appointment in April and go from there!

But otherwise work is going well and I'm soooo happy it is getting nice outside. I can't wait to walk and jog around the walking path across from our apartment. I have been keeping up with lifting my arm weights, etc. I have been doing pretty good at keeping up with the exercise regime I planned (read about my taking exercise more seriously HERE!)

I got my tuition reimbursement from Dominican, so that's taken care of too! Clinical Trial is still in proess and I'm still 100% compliant with my nebulizers and pills since November!  so good things are happening, why let a little tummy trouble get in the way of my smile :-)

How Fostering and CF impact my work

I haven't been on my blog much.... I think that is because most of my blogging is currently been done on Health Union's Cystic-Fibrosis.com (here is link to all my posts on their site: https://cystic-fibrosis.com/members/cherizkunkel/ ). I decided last fall to step away from real estate after 3 years in the business. It was tough to say good-bye, especially since I had tripled my volume and business in the last year. However, I didn't have time to add any new clients; I kept saying, maybe next week, next month I can fit more work into my schedule. The truth is fostering takes a lot of time. We have between 5-8 monthly visits at the agency, 1 court ate a month, 2 home visits from the caseworker a month, plus e have 2-3 doctors/specialist appointments for our current kiddo. We have lots of paperwork we fill out, gas mile logs, receipts to add, and more! Our kiddo also participates in gymnastics and dance two nights a week. We go to a fosterparent support group with our kid ...

Oh the Joys of a Colonoscopy!

Colonoscopy, Fun: As you may remember from reading my October Posts (  Oct Post #1   &  2nd Oct Post ) that I was admitted a second time that month for Gastrointestinal issues. I was having stomach cramps and what was believed to be Antibiotic Associated Diarrhea. However, CT scan revealed my colon and intestines were inflammed.  After having a rough 2 months of GI issues, and cuting out most food (diary, meat, grease, carbonated beverages, and sugar). I finally am getting a Colonoscopy to see what in the world is going on! I'm been taking Probiotics, was on meds for both C. diff and AAD. I even added driking Kefir to add to the probiotics and good bacteria.  Only now am I seeing any changes, less stomach aches, etc. I add a 1/2 cup pf the Kefir to my smoothie, its not bad -yum! I really reccommend it and Probiotics (so talk to your doctor about it), it could really help you out! Read about Colonoscopies here! So I'm glad to be g...

Um..Need to clear my head.

I was having a good day, it was one of my babysitting girl's bdays! We went for ice cream, I hung out with a friend and watched "Game of Thrones". I really liked it and I'm hoping to watch more this wknd. Then I logged onto Facebook to see that my best friend Laura (with CF) is down in lung function, on oxygen at night and her doctor is putting her on the Transplant list. I have lots of thoughts going through my head the MAIN one is "Please let her get a Tx soon, heal well and fast, and live her full life, they way she deserves to! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!" I can't imagine how she must feel, I know I'm sad knowing she is at point she needs one, but HAPPY she will get on the list! Happy, Sad, Scared, Excited. How do I feel..? The worst part is knowing that she is pain. I just want to take all that away, give her some good n plentys (one of our fave candy), kiss her on the forehead, tell her I love her, and that before she knows it she will have...
