If you haven't noticed my life is crazy

Well by now I am sure if you are my friend and/or if you read my blogs you have heard I was like 2 seconds form death this week...so I am still chillin in the hospital as of today...they are trying to treat the ulcer in my stomach still to try to keep it from bleeding out and to make sure my hemoglobin (red blood cell count) doesn't drop way down again since they are not sure why it is doing that...hopefully its from the ulcer because that is being taken care of which means it shouldn't be as crazy anymore but we will see I guess...

I don't really know what to tell you about this week since I have been chillin in the hospital since wednesday and I already posted about Nicole saving my life that day...being in the hospital is pretty boring...I have been sitting around doing really nothing...doctors come in to see me and order tests done on me like EKGs chest x-rays endoscopies blood tests...other than that I don't do much but sometimes do homework play word puzzles sleep watch TV...it's all really boring and makes the days feel supper long...

I'm tired of being here but I understand why I am here since I am so sick and I also told the doctor I would behave so I am staying here...the plan is that I will get out tomorrow if my hemoglobin stays stable...then if/when we get out mom and I head over to our friend Taylor's place here in Peoria to stay since we start training for at home dialysis here in Peoria and because my doctor wants us to stay to close...he seems very worried about me which makes me want to listen to him and follow what he says...mom and I will be here for about 3 weeks for the home hemo dialysis training...

We have been making friends with the nurses as per usual and trying to make being stuck here fun...that only lasts so long though...there's really only so much you can do to make being stuck anywhere fun especially when you feel trapped like you are in jail...it's even worst when I have to like tonight fast for a blood test...I am NPO so I can't even drink any water which totally sucks but they are drawing my blood at 4 in the morning so after that I can eat and drink whatever I want again so that's not to bad I guess...

It's just hard not to be a debbie downer in the hospital sometimes...it can be pretty depressing...but whatever I can deal with it cause I have dealt with how sucky it is to be sick all the time so this is no big deal that being here makes me a debbie downer...I know it will pass in time and I will be home feeling better soon...and then after that I will be home in Heaven and then I will be healed and those are the things I have to remind myself about to keep me from completely falling apart...

Scars

Image
I said quite some time ago that I would post a picture of my newest scar...and then I forgot...when I remembered I thought why not just do a post about my scars...I know people who have tattoos and show those off...but I don't have those instead my story is etched on my body in a different way...so here it is...and in some of them I tried to circle scars that I thought were hard to see but it may end up being easier to see them without my attempt at helping... So these first two are obviously of my stomach...the scar with the one by it is hard to see but that scar is over 20 inches long...it wraps around my left side...you can see the end of it in the picture below...that is from my first transplant from when I was 8...the scar with the 2 by it is from my most recent transplant...which as you can tell is much smaller and is still a little red because it's still healing...the three scars circled under my belly button in the bright blue are from dialysis when I was 21 mon

It’s been a while

Hey there, So it’s been a while. I wish I could say I was returning with amazingly great news about life or some mind blowing tidbit about Jesus. But I think by now if you are reading this or have rread any of my posts in the past you know that is not this blog. Having a blog that mostly chronicals the downs of being a person with a chronic illness means that posting again after a bit of a hiatus can really only mean one thing - more downs to report. If you’ve seen my recent social media posts. You might think, “How can that be? You are doing all this work at your house.” Well when you are sick you get good at knowing that life goes on no matter how you feel. So you go on and sometimes above with it. Here’s what is going on - after having a horrible appointment with a gynecologist in something like October I finally decided I really needed to see someone else because the increasing pain on and off my period is not ok. And as someone who has wanted a hysterectomy for more than 1

After Moving Day

Health update - I have been feeling better since starting this medication. The side effects were a little rough at first but I think my body has adjusted since I have been feeling much better and have energy again. Mom and Dad moved into their newly remodeled house this weekend and I am so happy for them. They have needed a one story house for a few years since they have been talking about it even before Dad's accident. We have already created so many fun memories and stories to tell during the renovation that I can't wait to see what other adventures this house has for our family. Often during this move I have felt like other people have been more attached to my parents house than my family. Sure my brother, sister and I all grew up in that house and we had a lot of fun memories in that house. But a four bedroom, two level house was too much house for my parents to live in alone. In the past few years instead of being able to remember the fun times in the house we've j
