Women's State Tournament 2011

Aghhhhhhh!!!! I bowled like shit all weekend. The best part of the trip to Canton, MI was my spending time with my hubby. The lanes were awful and the hotel was small. We went with 2 teams of great women and had fun. We went to the MGM Grand Casino in Detroit together and bowled like crap as a team! Go Muskegon!!! We stopped at a knitting shop that I loved! I went to Ann Arbor to see Dr. McLaughlin my PH doctor. I did fantastic on my 6 minute walk. I did 543 meters! We are going to switch me to Veletri from the Flolan. It's basically the same medication just doesn't need ice and I can mix up to 5 days at once. I am excited after 9 years of mixing my Flolan every single day! I am sooo sick of it! I am ready for spring!!! My mom and I are walking a few times a week and the snow is melting! Life is good!

     I know that I have not posted in more than a year.  My life has been wonderful and full of living.  I have been enjoying my family, bowling, knitting and riding our motorcycle with the hubby.  I decided to post today because it is my 12 year anniversary of going on my IV medication, Flolan and then Veletri for my PH.  It has saved my life.        I had my Hickman central line placed on January 22, 2002. I started Flolan in the hospital at the  University Of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI. I was admitted in the hospital for 5 days as my doctor increased the Flolan to a therapeutic dose.  It was the most frightening experience ever.       I was 23 years old, I had a 19 month old daughter and a boyfriend of a year.  I was told to get my affairs with my daughter and my life in order because my PH was so severe.  I was so sick that I was blue all the time, I couldn't walk around with out getting dizz...

Feeling great!

The next month is sooooo busy. I am bowling in the Michigan State tournament in Canton, Mi and the weekend following that tournament I am bowling the Muskegon Tournament. I am excited. I am also doing fantastic at my weight loss goals. I am down a few more pounds this week after being back on plan 100%. I got the PICC line out and my new Hickman cath put in. It's weird having it in the right side but I am adjusting. Right now life is fantastic!!!

A Life Worth Living

Image
     Even though I have lived my entire life with a chronic disease I have a life worth living.  Growing up I was "the sick girl" or the "girl who can't do anything".  I felt like I was nothing but a girl that was sick and going to die without anyone remembering anything else about me.  I was tubes, pills, doctors, bills. I had a poor prognosis.  I felt like a lab rat.  I was depressed and scared all the time.  I thought about dying all the time.  I felt alone. That is all in the past.      I am more self confident than ever now.  I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister.  I am a knitter, a scrap-booker, a bowler, a sports fan.  I am strong and stubborn.  I am happy, loving and spontaneous.  I have won trophies and awards.  I am in love and loved.  I am beautiful and amazing.  Everyday I amaze myself even if I never get out of my pj's.  Although I am still sick, I am AL...
