Here's an update

Last night and today when I have pooped it's been black which means there is dried blood in my stool. I am assuming that blood is coming from my polyps and that they are now bleeding worst since this hasn't been a problem so far.

I haven't eaten much of anything today because when I try to eat my stomach hurts more than it already does.

I called the GI doc's office first thing this morning and was waiting all day to hear back from him. Around 4 pm I called them back because I had received a call. Evidently my message got sent to the wrong person and this time around I got sent right to a nurse who sounded a little nervous. She had me do a blood test tonight at KSB to check my blood levels and I have appointment to see my GI tomorrow in Peoria.

She is not sure what will happen. Sounds like they might admit me. But if I am being honest she sounded pretty unsure about what to do. The surgery I am having is usually only done once or twice a month on pre-set days. But I am assuming if it is an emergency they will do it earlier. I really have no clue though.

The only thing I am sure of is that I am bleeding internally. It is something to be concerned about as is the pain I am having.

We are heading to Peoria tomorrow for an appointment. I do not know if I will be staying but mom and I are packing bags just in case. Frankly the not knowing is the most stressful part for me.

Even though this might sound weird I am kind of hoping that I will be admitted and we can get all this taken care of sooner. And maybe get my arm fixed while we are at 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

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
