Today was a good day

First I should say I keep having different problems...like not being able to stay awake after taking my morning meds (I'm not making this up...when I stay awake I start to feel like I am going to pass out...the other day I almost fell into my desk at home...can we say over medicated)...I've also been having some other problems that I have been bringing up to my nurses and doctors...but I am feeling like no one is listening to me...so that's always loads of fun...I am going to call them again tomorrow to talk to them...so pray for me that I would know what to say to get them to listen and that they would listen...I am kind of dreading calling because I am so frustrated already...and I don't want to be a moody jerk with them...I just want to be heard and fixed...because this is not normal...I'm pretty sure I only went into two days of work this week because the rest of the time I was either at the hospital for blood tests or a zombie who couldn't function...I seem to be sleeping more now then before my transplant...and it's not from needing to heal more...

Besides that the things I have to share from this week came from today...like this...







My brother Graham got these for me and I love how my friends know I love weird things...I also love how I was told that it's unfair how good I look in these...let me just say I embrace my crazy so that helps...I also love facial hair...which means things like this make me happy and well I'm going to smile and be silly when I am happy...which I tend to think always makes people look better...I can not think of one person that look better frowning then they do smiling...crazy faces are even better...

The other thing from today that is so great is that my brother Garrett got baptized...I talk about him on here a lot...and I may have tired to convince people in the past that we are twins...but that's what happens when you are friends with me...I try to convince people that we are really related and see how far I can go with it...I would say Garrett is one of my closest friends...and well he makes this sister proud a lot...like today...I love watching my friends grow in their faith and being able to witness mile stones like being baptized...watching people declare their faith is pretty dang powerful...and when my friends do that I love it...makes it so that I can't stop smiling...so if you want to here are some videos of that to watch...


The first one is Garrett sharing his testimony and the second one is everyone that was their to get baptized getting baptized...my brother is the one in orange...aka the one I scream really loud after...

So yeah that's all I've got for today...hopefully that puts you in as good of a mood as it does me...

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
