More updates...

While I am sitting in between appointments I thought I would recap last week.

Thursday I met with general surgery doctors.  My doctor was a kid, maybe 18 years old.   He told me he was a PA student so that explained the age, but when he went to examine me I thought, is this even legal?  I felt like it just wasn't right for him to see my stomach and chest...LOL.

Anyways after doogie howser left the doctor came in and said 2 to 3 weeks for an appointment for the tube to be placed.  I told him my story of being so close to the transplant so he assured me he would try and drag his feet so we can avoid the tube.

Then Friday I had both girls A honor roll awards.  Jordan's was fine and I even left a bit early because I was not feeling well.  By the time Alexa's had come around I was full blown sick.  I have about 1 to 2 bad days a week and Friday happened to be my day.  I feel weak and light headed and like I have the flu.  So as I am sitting trying to pay attention and act normal all I can think about it 1.  Am I going to faint.  2.  Should I go to the ER for dialysis  3.  My feet are so swollen they look like miss piggy!!  Everytime I get sick I need to decide if it is bad enough to start dialysis or if I think it will pass.  It was so hard to sit there and try to be myself when I was dying inside.

So...after school we went shopping and then to dinner with the besties (that is what the girls call ava, rumi and izzy)  by the time we got home I could not walk and was so sick with my stomach.  It feels like you have the flu extremely bad without ever throwing up.

I went to bed thinking this is it...I am going on dialysis tomorrow.  Well what do you know???....I woke up Saturday feeling great!  By 9am I had already been shopping and by 10am we were laying at the pool with good friends.  Stayed all day long and then went out at night until 130am.  I was so thankful to have passed that phase again without dialysis.

Let's just see how my bad day is this week.....

Ignore my bad grammar...on my cell phone and trying to type fast before the nurse calls my name!!
