On the CF Front

I'm excited that its almost time for Great Strides 2015 in Augusta!  But, that means it's time for me to get off my rear end and start fundraising.  CF Stinks has to keep on going up.  Last year's total was $11,893 - what?!  And our team has raised over $47,000 for CF since we started participating in Great Strides.

So, if anyone would like to support my team to reach our goal, click here.  I know we can hit $10,000 again and maybe even $12,000!!

Some more exciting news on the CF front is that the CF Foundation, used a photo of me on their Facebook banner.  I thought that was pretty fantastic!  We took some pictures when I was in Atlanta for the CF Conference, so they used one of those.  Here it is in case you don't have Facebook:

As for me.  Feeling good.  Started Cayston on Monday, so I have a bit of the "Cayston cough" occurring.  My airways seem to get a bit irritated when I start, so using my Ventolin definitely helps a great deal.  Unfortunately some times I cough more than others when I start back.  And, this is one of those times.  I've actually been feeling some gunk moving around in my lungs, so my vest is being my friend and helping to get it out.

Good news is I'm feeling great on the CF side.  Bad news, I seemed to have pulled a muscle this week :/  I did my weight lifting class as usual on Monday and then Tuesday morning started feeling a bit achey.  It's my upper back by my left shoulder blade...and it freakin' hurts!  I was going to go to a doc in a box today, but didn't want to wait the 3 hours.  So, I'm trying to tough it out and use IcyHot and a heating pad.  We'll see...
