Another Punt

I'm gonna be honest. I have felt like my last few blog post have been punts.

Sort of like a I have to write something but I have no idea to write - so I post the first thing that comes to mind.

And I don't like that - but yet again this week I find myself clueless as what to post here.

Which means I have to remind myself that it's ok to not have a lot to say. To not have any wise words or exciting adventures going on in life right now.

Because I enjoy carrying on a quiet existence. Sure that doesn't always leave me with a lot to write about but I am at peace in my life.

And that to me is more important than fancy words or crazy adventures.

Now - though things have been pretty quiet around here, I also have not been feeling the best. Which means I have been keeping to myself more than normal. When I say that I have not been feeling the best this time around I mean I have been having a lot of headaches, nauseous every now and then, and have been dizzy usually at night. I am not concerned about it so there is no reason for anyone else to worry. This all just makes me not want to do much. I have to be ok with that sometimes because I need to know how to listen to my body to get better.

My hope for you this week is that you find moments of peace in your lives and time to rest.

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
