Proud Moments

First - Sorry this is later in the day than normal. I was binge watching Fuller House and completely forgot about writing a blog post.

Second - Sorry about my freak out last week. Sometimes life is rough and everything gets out of focus for me.

This week has been a little crazy at work. I finished the archives project I was working on! That feels really dang good since I have been working on it since before Christmas. I also did a display for archives that I am very proud of. Also our librarian has been giving me some on the job training to try to get me ready for more work and to help build up some confidence in me about my abilities. It feels really good that she and our boss trust me with so much and want to help me learn and succeed. That has been amazing.

I went out with my boss and a friend of hers Saturday morning to walk around the downtown here. It was nice to spend some time outside of my house and explore this town a little more. Then my brother and nephews came by. Seeing them cheered me up quite a bit and I am so thankful for a family that loves me and wants to see where I live and what I am up too.

Coming up I have an appointment for a Doctor to look at the shingles on my tongue on Wednesday. I don't know that they will be able to prescribe anything or tell me anything that I don't already know. But it will be nice to have someone else look at it to be aware of what is going on and to make sure no underlying harm is being done. It was a little frustrating to hear about the appointment less than a week before it and then having to try to figure out work schedules. But I am thankful for a boss who is understanding and who frankly was calmer than me about the whole thing.

This week I have been feeling like I have gone back to stress relief 101. A lot of deep breathing and acknowledging every little good thing accomplished. I don't know why that is so tough for me but it really is. But in the spirit of acknowledging the good and not dwelling on the bad - I am feeling proud of myself for being outgoing yesterday. Proud of myself for everything I got done at work this week. Proud that my bosses know they can trust me. And well loved.

So really not a bad week at all.

May you be proud of yourself and feel the love that is around you.

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
