I wish I could tell you this week is going better

But it's not really...I didn't want to get out of bed for anything today...but I did because I had to vote and I had to go to the hospital and get my iron Iv...tomorrow I am hoping to go to the hospital to get some blood so that I don't feel like I am dying with no strength...

But on the plus side I thought I would tell you some fun things that happened recently...

On Monday I was getting ready to go to the hospital to get my blood drawn and I was scrapping the frost off my car with an American Eagle Rewards card because I don't have a scrapper...I know that's bad when you live in the mid-west...I lost mine somewhere...anywho I was doing that and all the sudden my friend Jon W appears to help me scrap my car off with a REAL scrapper...I sort of thought it was funny that he appeared out of what seemed like no where but he was probably dropping his kids off at school or something and then passed my house...so that was a blessing...

And then when I was at the hospital I was walking in behind this guy and I thought I think that's my Uncle...well really he'd be like my great uncle because he's my grandma's brother...but I knew it was him after he spelled out his name for the receptionist lady...and then I sat down so that my back was facing him because I didn't know if he knew me...but I could hear him making friends with some guy sitting by him which is so like my grandma's family...then he got his blood drawn and he came out and asked if I was me and I said yeah and he told me his name which I thought was adorable...I told dad later I should have gotten up and hugged him and said I know who you are...so then he caught up a little on what was going on with the family and well I loved it...

Also I am like a step away from completing my Master's application...I just have to find the energy to do it...and then send it all in...and well I'm not really nervous about it anymore...I have had a lot of people tell me I will get in and I will do great so that feels good but I'm sort of at a place where I figure I'm not really going to do anything that will change if I get in or not...and I feel like this is what I should be doing so that makes me feel good too...

And well even though I am super worn out and cranky and I just want to sleep all day I am looking forward to heading to a friends open house this weekend with my mom and my best friend...I'm excited about the things that are happening in his life...I always love to see my friends doing well...and I know they would say the same about me...cause I can tell they hate it when I'm not feeling good and they can't do anything about it...sorry you all have to deal with that...and thank you for loving me through it

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
