Encouragement

So if you haven't noticed I haven't been having the best week...

I think I talked to the doctors office at least once every day...which I guess was needed but was annoying...I haven't had any other chest pain so they decided I didn't need to go in...especially because I think the chest pain was anxiety...which obviously is totally great...

And then I had some problems with my application...that I think I maybe got worked out...but I also got my GRE scores back and I did terrible...especially on the writing part...which surprised a lot of people since I write all the time...and they say I'm good at it...but I am pretty sure I misunderstood the directions...and that's when my hemoglobin was low...I mean I seriously almost fell asleep during the test...so I am trying to not beat myself up over the bad score but I am upset about it...

So with this upsetting down week I have needed a lot of encouragement...which I fell weird asking for...

I think some of my friends knew I needed a little pick me up...so they tired which was nice...but I was reminded by my mom one night about the video that that made me last year at camp and how encouraging that was...so here it is...


Though encouragement right now would be good too...even though I still kind of suck at taking encouragement...this video was a good reminder of how loved I am...

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

Post Procedure

Hi there. I have had quite a few people asking me how I am doing post surgery and reminded me that I should put a little update here. So my laparoscopy was April 1st and took longer than mom and I thought it would but that’s not really a bad thing. My doctor took his time to be very thorough. I have 6 little scars now from where the camera was inserted. Six may seem like a lot but to me necessary and worth it. He found a few interesting things - He thought that he might find a build up of scar tissue inside of me because of the visible scars from my transplant but he did not see that build up which is great. He checked a few others things relating to my transplants like the connections to my bladder and that all looked really good. Relating to my endometriosis symptoms he found/did quite a few things that were note worthy. He found what looked to me like a large cyst on my left ovary that he removed. He also found a build up of cells on my tubes that he said can cause cys
