Positives

Hey there,

So yesterday around 6:00 am, or right before I woke up and my legs were in a lot of pain. Cramping and spazzing and no good. And then when they calmed down a little the rest of my body felt so sick. OS then I took it easy all day. And then forgot about posting until late and by that time thought "Forget it, I have tomorrow."

I would say one of the hard parts for me about this house is not always getting to work as long or as hard as I want to. I mean I have been doing better at listening to my body and trying to relax. But as per usual I do feel a bit limited by my body. That is always frustrating to me no matter the situation.

But I did get the main thing done I wanted to do this weekend. And I even spent some time in the pool.

And so even when I am frustrated with my body I have to remind myself to look at those positives.

And really there were a lot of positives this week.

I have a sort of half bath in my basement and no longer have to walk up the stairs first thing after waking up. (Also I say sort of because it is not currently it's own room.)

I got to see Annette this week and show her my house and a bit of my town.

I got a lot done this weekend.

And oh my gosh I own a house and it has a pool that I also own! What!

Sometimes when I am sitting in my house or out in my pool I get overwhelmed with how good God is and how his plans and dreams for me far outweigh mine.

I would say his goodness is always a positive.

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
