Another Good Week

It was another great week at work. The head librarian and my supervisor - both of whom I am becoming friends with - have been giving me more work because they know that I can handle it and will get it done. It's nice to know that they trust me. It's also nice to like being around them so much. We giggle so much some days. It's an added bonus and is something else that makes me want to go into work. I don't know if I mentioned that everyone at CSC is so nice. A lot of people that work at CSC make me laugh and make me so glad that I work there. It's also nice that some of the other people that are in the library or have offices in the library (like some of the tech help) appreciate me and like that I am organized and accountable. It's nice that they see these things about me and tell them too me too. Getting this job has been a confidence booster in so many ways.

This is my first weekend not heading back to mom and dad's for the weekend. I still didn't really go out and explore the town. I just went to the grocery store. It has been nice to not have to travel this weekend or have appointments to get to. I did clean out and organize my garage which didn't take me long since I haven't worked here long. I am OCD though so it was something that has been bugging me for a while - that there was no order to how things were put in the garage while unpacking.

Today I tried out a new church. After being so disheartened at the other church I was nervous to go to church today. But it ended up being great. I am so thankful I went and I am already looking forward to going again next weekend. I don't know what else to say since I don't really want to - on here - to go into what upset me so much at the other church. But I will say about this church that I liked the pastor. I thought he was funny. I liked that people were friendly at this church and seemed so excited to see each other and talk to each other. I liked the worship. The band did a good job at getting people engaged in worship without it being a concert. And just like the other church it is super close to my house. A positive experience at church was needed today because after my bad one I was feeling a little hopeless on that front. So I am thankful for that today.

I hope you all had a great Sunday as well and that you enjoy the rest of this labor day weekend.

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
