It would appear I need to clear something up

And that something would be that I really am not a sad sack all the freakin time...I know on here I can be negative and I sometimes talk about how I hate my life...but that is not my all the time attitude...sure I am unhappy that I don't have a donor match yet...and unhappy about other things...but that doesn't mean I'm sitting in my bed all day crying...so get that imagine out of your head...

More often than not I am laughing...you know how there is always that one person who obnoxiously laughs at everything...yeah that's me...the other day when I was watching TV with my parents I was laughing so much they started making fun of me for it...the thing is I don't know how to write that in my blog because usually I am laughing at stupid, lame things that most people just ignore or roll their eyes at...me I figure why not laugh...so I've been laughing with friends...laughing when I read things on twitter...laughing when I see a funny picture on pinterest...laughing at ridiculous commercials...laughing at myself because I think I am soooo funny...

Recently I have been laughing at myself about how much I love beards...seriously I love a man with facial hair...my brothers grow their facial hair out just for me sometimes...though I think they like it too because then I scratch their scruffy faces...to clarify not all girls love beards...I just happen to love them a lot...I probably love them too much...like if I ever get married my husband better be able to grow a beard or we might have problems...that's how much I love them...also I like short neatly trimmed beards...I don't care if you have an under beard growing...I just don't want like a long mess of a beard on a man...that to me is how a mountain man wears his beard...and/or an old man...this is just an example of why I laugh at myself...who puts this much thought into a beard...

Also I make myself laugh because I get distracted so easily...

Anyway I have been enjoying life in other ways...like having mini dance parties...or singing crazy songs at the top of my lungs...reading books that I want to read...

The thing that I have learned is that it's ok to be emotional and dump out all those emotions...if you get it out of your system you feel so much better and can get on with the fun things in life...I may get upset with my life sometimes but life is still so fun and so full of such potential for so many things...I want to take in as much of life as I can...that means the good and the bad...

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
