Easter Sunday

Let's talk health first so I can get that out of the way...I have been feeling a little weird lately...the past two days when I stand up I feel dizzy and a little like I am going to black out...so that's no fun...I don't want what that's all about...mom is wondering if my hemoglobin is low since my eyes look dark....and I have dark circles around my eyes...so we will see how that all pans out I guess...I have to do a hemoglobin check this week so we will find out if it is that or not...I will not be happy if it is that because we thought we finally had this hemoglobin thing solved and I am on a higher dose of epo...I would be very frustrated and confused if it was my hemoglobin dropping rapidly...

Even with that going on today I had a good day...people kept telling me how good I looked in my new dress which is always nice...and I had so much fun at my aunt and uncle's flying kites...I told my parents I should be a professional kite flyer...I'm not really that good at it...it just like it...I find kite flying to be very relaxing...I did win a prize today though for kite flying...mom had four prizes...one went to my sister in law for getting her kite out of the trees the most times...one went to my sister and her boyfriend for being analytical in their kite flying...one went to my cousin's wife for getting her kite tangled the fastest...and the other went to me for being the first with with my full first line out and part of a second line started with it and for laying down while kite flying...I told you it's relaxing...my nephew Jeremiah did at one point tell me that when it came to kite flying he "was the bestest" and I was a "dork"...which made me laugh for sure...he may have still been mad at me that we couldn't find that last egg hidden in the yard...my bad...

I was glad today was a fun day even if I was having those weird "I'mma pass out" spells...because I love today...I love what today stands for...I love the hope in this day...the reminder that death has been overcome...it's a day that reminds me that I have a bit of a sneak peak at the ending of my own story...and what a great ending it is...a day that fills me with joy and peace thinking about how he endured all that he did for the love of his children...for all of us...

But that also speaks directly to my soul...as Pastor Jim said in church today...Jesus made it personal...he came for me...to give me hope...to show me how much he loves me and values me...to prove his love...to reform the broken bond...to give me rest and peace...to give me joy...and to give me a beautiful happy ending despite the torments of this life...

That to me is something worth celebrating...

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

A few quick notes before I get into what I really want to talk about

1st - I know I have said it before but gosh I love living in a small town...this week so many people did cool things for us...like some anonymous person paying for the repair work we had done on mom's car which included new tires...or Venier's fixing dad's pocket watch for free...that's like the fourth free thing they have done for us...ya'll are too good to us... 2nd - My iron IV on Wednesday went ok I felt a little sickish afterwards but they did give it to me kind of fast...and Thursday I was sick part of the day too...but no big deal...and my hemoglobin went up...when it was drawn on Monday it was 6.6 then when it was drawn on Wednesday it was 7.3...so that was pretty great...also on a health note a have a few people who are trying to get tested right now as possible donors so we will see where that goes... 3rd - I had a great time on Thursday watching the rain fall and people pass the house while I was sitting on the front porch with my dad first and then m

A little way in advance preview

I am not sure why I am doing this but my cousin Lisa tagged me in hers. Usually I ignore these things but I figure maybe if I talk about it and put part of it out there it will motivate me to work on it some more.  What is the working title of your book or project? Well hopefully it will be a book about my life. And the title would be the same as my blog probably Stories of a Real Life Wonder Woman Where did the idea come from for your book or project? People keep telling me to write a book about my life...they have been all my life. And I want to publish a book so I am slowly working on this. What genre does it fall under, if any? It would be an autobiography. If applicable, whom would you choose to play your characters in a movie? Um well it would be people playing me and my family and friends. But I have always said Keira Knightly would be me in a movie. What is a one-sentence synopsis of your manuscript or project? I am not sure how to answer this. It's my life
