Just Some Ridiculous Things

Just so you know I am posting this while E! Live from the Red Carpet is on commercial for the Grammy's. I love awards shows. Well watching them. I don't really think I would ever want to actually go. I 'm a bit of a hermit.

I had a doctor's appointment this week and it was so good to laugh with my doctor about how good I am doing. It feels good to to hear him say I am the healthiest he has ever seen me. That put me in such a good mood.

This week I have been sending videos to my brother Kenny. At least I hope they have been getting trough. My Skype doesn't always like to send messages or videos. It's annoying. But I send Kenny videos about silly things, sad things, really anything. Mostly I just hope he gets them and laughs because I am ridiculous.

Speaking of ridiculous. I love ridiculous things such as books, movies, or TV shows. You know what I am talking about. The things you watch and think "what is the point of this." I just love laughing at those types of silly things. There have been many TV shows that I have watched that haven't even lasted a whole season and I have probably been one of very few people watching it. I say this in part because I watched one of those shows with my parents the other night. After it was over mom said, "I'm sorry BB but I don't see this show lasting very long." And I watch the show knowing full well that is the truth.

I have been thinking about this even more recently because more and more people have been asking me to read some of the other things I write. When people ask me that I think not just that I am nervous about that but also that the type of genre I write is not really what they normal read or would want to read. See I write what I love and as I just stated I love silly ridiculous things. That means that other than my life story I write stories that wouldn't ever be considered the next great novel. They are the types of books you would find in the young adults sections of books stores and libraries. I like to think they are more like Meg Cabot books. Books that I read that keep making me laugh over and over with these strong female characters who often find themselves in all kinds of blunders.

So when I think about that and what my friends and family mostly read I can't help but think that my books would never normally be on their bookshelves if they didn't know me. Which makes me even more nervous to share what I have been working on with them. I don't want them to feel like they have to read something they don't enjoy just because my name is on it.

Don't worry, that doesn't stop me from writing. It just makes me more nervous to share it.

Hope you are having as good of a week as 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
