6 wks post op..

I can't even believe it has been six weeks.. I feel awesome today.. The last few days I have actually felt 99.9%... My iron was a little low today when i went to donate blood, so i didn't get to donate..I am having no pain.. The incision is a little tight on the inside.. My back is much better.. I am also getting out of my funk that I've been in too.. The funk was pretty crazy, I just feel blah.. Laying around.. Being tired.. Not going out as much.. This isn't only from my surgery.. I feel it is from only working one job.. The surgery...along with a few other things..overall it's getting better:-) I am still in love with life.. I started a 21 day creating abundance meditation challenge this morning... It will be interesting to see what this journey brings..
I have heard that Milton is doing really good.. There are no signs of FSGS so that is great news!

Where has the time gone?

I can't even believe it has been a month already... Today I feel awesome!!! Since my surgery the pain has never been extreme... Hardest days have been day 2 and day 21(first day back to work) they were not unbearable, just a little rough.. My incisions didn't hurt till going back to work.. I think sitting in the chair for the majority of the day put a little too much pressure on my abdomen and my back. Since going back to work I tend to have dinner and lay down for the evening as soon as i get home.. It has helped with building up my strength level. The scar is looking amazing also!!! My eating is getting back to normal. LifeChurch has been amazing also... I received a phone call on monday that they wanted to provide a week of dinner for me.. it started today.. and man was it delicious.. spaghetti, brownies and dinner rolls.. what a blessing... I'm also trying to drink my 2 liters of fluids a day(sometimes it's hard)... Yesterday was a long day.. I drove to Tulsa for the Justin Bieber concert.. It was amazing!!! We actually got to meet and take a picture with him! Although, it was only for about 30 seconds... I was still able to talk to him about helping me raise awareness for being an organ donor.... Chelbi and I wrote JB a letter and in the letter I added my blog address... So I'm sending out some prayers that those letters will reach him...:-) He was such a sweet young man.. Made my long day worth it.. Today I still felt great just a little tired.. But overall I'm still feeling fabulous!!!

I really hope this blog is helping people that are curious about being a living donor and takes the scariness out of it. I said before that I would do it again in a heartbeat... And I am sticking to that... What a great process! Thank you all for reading my blog...
