Birthday, Bone scan, and being home!

Birthday Weekend:


 That's right, weekend!  Andrew asked me to take off Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday this weekend.!!!!

Friday:
 We went home friday afternoon! I went to my appointment to get that bone density scan done. Whew, so that Dexascan is done!!! I'll find out the results next appointment I see doctor B.

And I got us tickets to see Footloose at Putnum County High School (a month or so ago), so Andrew and I could see my cousin Kazia perform! I'm very excited she has decided to do theatre! She looked like she really enjoyed it and I'm very proud of her. Footloose is very fun show and I'm glad I got to see her perform!

Saturday:
Then Saturday morning I met some girlfriends for donuts at "Nuts for Donuts" YUM! I had a maple and bacon donut! Afterwards I went to Jillians and got my hair trimmed (just a little), I'm growing it back out for a while. We'll see how long that lasts though... However, then Andrew told me to change into the dress I had to pack (not that I was sure why). And he took me for a suprise lunch at Starved Rock State Park's Restaurant. (Pics above of us at the Park & in the lodge)

I love Starved Rock Park! I've been hiking there lots and love there breakfast buffet, but had never had dinner or lunch there! I was so excited when I saw Andrew pulling
 into the Parking Lot! YUM! I had an amazing pot roast, with citrus carrots, and this yummy peach cobbler for dessert! (see colber on right)


It was so nice outside this weekend, I couldn't have asked for better weather for my Birthday! Then Saturday evening another suprise was that Andrew had invited over my uncles to play board games! Andrew made dinner for my parents, uncles, and me! It was delcious, yummy Chicken with pasta in a Romesco sauce (except no peppers, and put extra mushrooms) with roasted asparagus! We had angel food cupcakes with strawberries and cool whip for dessert too! We played a couple board games and just had a great night! But that wasn't even the end! My ACTUAL birthday hadn't even started yet!

 Sunday:

Sunday, April 6th! That was my 29th Birthday! Wow, 29 years old! I love it! It seems like time has flown by so fast! My Birthday on Sunday was great! I ate left over angel food cupcakes with strawberries for breakfast. And then Mom, Dad, Andrew and I took off in the van to Peoria to spend the afternoon with Ada! We had a lot of fun, teasing and goofin like always (Note the picture on the left)! We went to lunch as a family, I opened gifts, and we went shopping! I got 2 cute dresses, 3 adorable tops, and some workout clothes! What great gifts! I also got the movie Frozen :-) I really love Frozen and my clothes are so cute! I can't wait to wear them all!

Of course, as you know I have kept on the weight recently very well! YAY! I've been between 107-109 for months now without using any feeding tube! So I really needed some clothes, most of everything I had didn't fit or was really old. I never outgrew anything before so I had still had clothes from High School. They weren't in the best shape; so today I went through my clothes and got rid of everything that didn't fit (or looked old) and put all my new items in the closet! It may have started me on a deep cleaning spree. LOL.  So far 2014 has been pretty great and that includes an amazing 29th Birthday! To see the roller coaster of last year expressed in pictures ( See my 2013 Reveiw! HERE)

And feel free to scroll down/through the older posts to see all the exciting new changes! And I have so much more to tell soon!  I will post some pics on my new clothes too! Oh and THANKS to everyone who signed up for the walk or donated yesterday in honor of my birthday! I had $80 donated yesterday and gained a few more walkers! We have over 50 walkers and if everyone meets there goals we will raise around $5,000 so far! 2 more months, keep it up everyone! (Click Great Strides Link at top left)

Clinical Trial, lung function test, and Crohn's diease

Clinical Trial, Clinic Today:   Clinical Trial 9am: Today, I went back to Dr. B's office for the clinical trial evaluation and start of trial. My last evaluation was a mess and I was not too happy with it ( Read about the first trial evaluation mess here! ) Luckily, we doubled today with my CF Clinic. It was a long day 9am-2pm in the office. BUT, good news is I'M ON THE TRIAL! It's not a new drug. I'm just doing the two meds like I always have (unless I get the placebo). I love being a part of clinical trials! The thought of helping drugs be approved that can help our health or even get approved by insurance easier! In the past I did a Clinical Trial for enzymes (that was a horrible clinical trial). I had to collect my stool in buckets and mail it to the lab...EW. But, it was to help us digest food better. AND now I'm on Zenpep, which is a fairly new enzyme and it does wonders for me! I did clinical trials also for Pulmozyme and Tobi too! So excited to get involv...

How theatre helped me more than you can know!

Theatre and the balance of my life Every person with Cystic Fibrosis has to figure out to balance the medical with the social. For years I had no clue. Currently, I'm in a show Hairspray, its really fun and a show I've always wanted to do. I'm being smart, no matter the time I get home I still do my meds, I still find time to do my jogging/exercise everyday and I eat extra/do extra stomach feeding to make up for calories burned. I've been sharing about my CF with cast members, when I need to and even the director knows. I watch my energy/blood sugar. AND even while doing the show I'm at my highest weight in 10 years and on Thurs at clinic (CF appt) I will find out if my lung function has gone up (hoping for 60%). So no worries..  I learned from my mistakes though. In the past I was stupid. When I was cast in   Urinetown, at the University of Illinois, I kept pushing too much at rehearsal and then even went out with cast members some...

Starved Rock State Park

The fun way to get my exercise   :-) Sarah and I hiked at Starved Rock State Park today! I usually have to work or play practice, errands, or something. But I had nothing planned for this afternoon/evening! I asked Sarah if she wanted to go hiking at Starved Rock. We both are always prepared and packed bags with water, sunblock, and snacks. My bag also contained some bandaids (I'm lil accident prone) and of course my meds and inhaler (which I rarely ever use, even when I'm indeed needing it). We started by first heading into the trails towards Pontiac Canyon, then we walked over to the River Trail and enjoyed the veiw of the River. Once we  were almost to horsehoe bend we had to turn around (where it looks like I made a mistake with the higlighter). Which wasn't a mistake, we started to hear thunder and decided to head back towards the lodge. We had to back track probably .25 miles. But we took the hiking trails past 4 more canyon/spots...
