Tired

I guess maybe I should say something about my doctor appointment before I get to far into this...there isn't much to tell though...he lowered my dry weight again because my blood pressure is still high and I am at the max on some of my blood pressure meds...and then he gave me a higher dose on my shot because my blood count has been low-ish recently...but the shot makes my bp go up...so that all doesn't make sense to me...and I am still on hold on the transplant list...maybe by the end of this month I'll be back active...that's frustrating...have I mentioned that I am horrible at waiting...right now I feel like I am waiting to wait...anyway I also told my doctor I have been feeling sick but they had no explanation for it...didn't know what to have me do besides call the GI doctor...I keep forgetting to do that...so that's my fault...but I just sort of feel like I am just going to have to deal with being sick...I should have that figured out by now...that a fact of my life is that I am going to feel gross more often than I want to...but then that attitude also makes me not want to call my GI doctor cause I feel like whats the point...as a result I have been dealing with an upset stomach...everyday...for the past few weeks...this is my life...

So that all frustrated me and led me to be in tears...and to feel like an idiot for crying over nothing...I was glad that my nurse had my back at the appointment because my doctor sort of started to act like he was going to have me do an iron IV again...but my nurse pointed out to him how good my iron is and how I don't need one of those right now...so that was nice...I don't really need anything else to make me feel sick...

I'm not really sure what else to say today about this week...during the week I thought of a few things but didn't write them down because I didn't like them that much...

A lot of good things have happened this week...I have gotten to spend a lot of time with friends that are dear to me...they think I am special and worthy of love even when I am a hot mess and they make me feel like I can do something right...

But that doesn't change the fact that I am having some of those unhappy days that come so often...I hate to be a downer but I also hate to not be truthful...and I am tired...I'm tired of trying to be positive with all this negative in my life...and I am tired of fighting everyday with my shitty jacked up body...

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
