I am getting distracted by Star Wars

I sat down to write this and then saw that Star Wars Return of the Jedi was on TV...So I am having a hard time concentrating on this...needless to say I am a nerd about this kind of thing...I love me some Star Wars...

I know this isn't the real C3P0 but when I saw him at Discovery Center in Rockford I did get excited...mom dad and I took the boys to the discovery center for a business anniversary thing for some friends' business and my nerdy side came out....

Not much has happened this week...been chillin around the house since I am so tired...I guess I should say that my hemoglobin on Monday was 7.4 so my doctor is holding off on a transfusion still trying really hard to get me to the 6 week point...I have an appointment with the GI doctor tomorrow and he will tell me more about the CAT scan...all I really know right now it that there is a mass on the outside of my stomach too and he wanted me to see a surgeon in town about it so that a surgeon can keep his eye on it...I see the surgeon on the 10th so we will see what he says...

Other than that my week has been kind of hoo hum as I have been doing homework and trying not to sleep the days away...I have been trying to do fun things to make myself smile and hopefully make some other people smile as well...like this...

I have made some people laugh quite a bit by wearing this out and about...I can't help but be silly...I'd rather do that then sit around crying all day...even though I could probably do that too...


So as I said I haven't done much and Monday was really bad...I was in such a crap mood...really depressed...then the mail came...and well my whole day turned around when I looked at this big envelope and it said that it was from Middle Man Productions Zachary Levi...WHAT!?!...I tried not to freak out but I was for sure...and this was what I got...

And you are gonna have to deal with it being sideways...cause I took it on my phone and I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing because I was so excited...my bestie Nicole freaked out too...this happened because I sent Zachary Levi a fan letter since mom and Nicole convinced me too even though I felt a little like a crazy fan girl...in the fan letter I mentioned my blog and though I doubt that he reads this now on the slim chance that he does I will say THANK YOU...love love love it...Nicole told me to write him another letter to thank him...I doubt I will do that...not that I am not thankful...I just just felt weird writing the first letter so writing another one would make me feel even weirder...still though that's freakin cool...I love when I tell people about it...they don't always know who he is and if I am around mom she will say he's on Chuck...if I am with Nicole though she will say he's Flynn Rider!!! either way getting this in the mail definitely turned my day around...and when I am in a bad mood I look at this and smile...oh and I got a free frame from my aunt too...so it looks really nice in its new frame...

I really don't know what to say beside that though...I feel like I should have some big insight from the week to share with you but I got nothing...so I don't really know what else to say...I thought of something earlier in the week but obviously I forgot it...

Sometimes I feel like I am just saying the same things over and over again...like tonight I keep thinking about things I have said before...like how we need to actually invest in people's lives getting to know them and loving on them...I have talked about before things for people to do and not do when someone is sick...the things to do consist of a lot of personal things like spending real time with them and actually praying with them instead of saying you are praying for them...for example with me I sit around around watching movies...like how I am watching Star Wars right now as I write this...and believe me I know how boring it can be to watch movies all the time...or to sit around doing nothing all day...I live it...but that's pretty much all I can do...so spending that time with me really does mean a lot to me...and not just because my love language is time...I think sometimes we don't think about what we are doing or saying before we do it...when we act that way we aren't really helping anyone out or encouraging them in anyway...if it takes little to no thought why do we think its going to be effective or helpful at all...

So this week I would encourage you to be silly and fun enjoy life...not being afraid to look like you are crazy or afraid to make other people laugh...who knows they might need that laugh...also really think about what people might need to be encouraged in their lives even if it takes you time or takes you out of your comfort zone...you won't regret and they will be thankful for you

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
