Just Little Updates

I guess I should start with a few little updates. I had a last minute Doctor's appointment with my GI this week because I have been having some nausea and discomfort after eating. Though it started as an everyday thing it has become less frequent which is nice but it is still no fun. I went in and my doctor is not really worried. He thinks it might be some sort of stomach bug that is going around but as a precaution he did have me do a gallbladder ultrasound.

I am now thinking it could also be stress related since stress can cause a lot of stomach issues and I have been having some weird dreams that also point to me being stressed.

Other than that it has been mostly a good week. I got to see some friends that I love spending time with. And we did get some work done on the house.

I finished my quilt this week as well. I feel good about that since I said I wanted to have it done by BOND and I have it done before then. I cut most of the t-shirts for the quilt up around 4 years ago so finally getting that done feels like a great accomplishment.

Most of this week was spent trying to relax. I can feel myself tensing up about things - like finding a job and using my time effectively - and so I have to tell myself to chill out. Chilling out this week often lead to sleeping since my stomach being a diva makes me tried.

That's all I've really got this week ya'll - have a wonderful day!

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
