Easter

Let's get these health updates out of the way - I have not seen my GI yet. He has been out of town on vacation but I should get a call in the next few days to set an appointment time up. I am hoping I can schedule it the same day that I have an appointment with my kidney doctor since we will already be in Peoria that day. In other news I also need to call my gynecologist because I have been having some gynecological problems which is really no surprise seen there is a history of that in my family. Though it is normal in my family it is still annoying to have to deal with.

I will say it ended up being for the best that I ended up not being able to go see my GI for an endoscope because I came down with a cold. Often times when you are sick they will reschedule you. It is possible that my mom and dad are now coming down with a cold while I think I am mostly over it. But then again this cold keeps tricking me by making me feel like I am getting better then hammering me with another wave of sickness.

For those wondering - I have not heard anything about the job or any of the other jobs I have applied for. That's a bit nerve wracking but I am trying to trust that God will come through as he always does. Not to say this all isn't a bit discouraging at the moment but he knows me and he knows what I need and I have to continue to try to rest in that.

Since I have been sick this week has mostly consisted of staying in and watching movies.

Today however I did get to spend time with my family which I always love doing. Since mom and dad have been looking for house for the past few years we have heard for the past few years at holidays things like "Next Christmas we will be in a new house" or other similar things. It was nice to hear that this time and know that that is true since they actually have a house this time. We even stopped by the house today and Mikey and Spencer moved the new stove to the new house. Overall it was a pretty chill day a lot of which was spent outside playing with the boys.

It was a pretty perfect way to celebrate that the tomb is empty and Jesus is alive.

Hope you all had wonderful days as well.

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
