Not much to report

So I don't really know what I want to post today...

Mom went to Peoria this week to meet some more people and have some more tests done but we won't know anything until sometime next week maybe...the results of this one will determine if we really get the ball rolling on transplant or not...mom also has a cold now too so that's no fun...

I am finally starting to feel better...which is nice...after a couple weeks of feeling super sick and not being able to get out of bed much...I have energy again...my doctor had to change around my meds again...it would appear my body doesn't like large doses of anything even if it is good for me...like the iron IV I had to do...I felt like I was dying...one time the morning after I had the IV I felt like I couldn't move my legs...weird and painful...but now I am off it again and my blood count is up so I think maybe we will be ok for a while...

Besides that it seems like not much is going on...my friends are coming home from college and I am excited to see them and get to spend some time with them...since I read the Harry Potter books without my best friend knowing we are now watching the movies together...and well I have been making fun of them...we've only watched the first two but I can't stop making remarks about everything and everyone...during the first movie I am pretty sure I laughed at "Baby Daniel" twenty plus times...and during the second movie I said that the giant snake reminded me of the lizard from "Rescuers Down Under"...you know the cartoon movie with the mice...if you haven't seen those movies you really should...they are classics...also during the second one my brother Garrett was there and he was making fun of me for how often I said I loved Snape/Alan Rickman...seriously though he's great...it's possible I said that more than twenty times too...I'm a nerd girl though so it happens...

I just have been trying to chill so far this summer...no summer classes which is weird because when I did online through GCU I felt like I was doing those classes non-stop and did take some summer class so I could get all the classes I wanted...so without that this summer has been slow so far...but transplant is coming up...along with Mountain of Praise and Camp...so right now it's sort of like the quiet before the storm and I think I am ok with that...

Ask me how I am doing in like a month though and I might be freakin out...transplant time feels like it is getting so close...so get your BB shirts ready so you can send me pictures that day...can't wait to see the support from all of 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
