Let’s LIVE

Hey, Y’all! I’m here in the hospital, day eight and so ready to go home. In all honesty, every time that I go home I get a little nervous. For instance, last week when I got sent home I was only out for one day because they just got tired of taking care of me and I ended up going home when nothing had been helped. My kidney numbers jumped up, my liver was still trying to recover, and I have shingles yet again. So, am I excited to go home? Yes. But I also get so nervous every time. Kidneys are so weird my nephrologist came in today and asked why I hadn’t been eating much other than bags of chips. I told him that I am pretty positive that my kidney is trying to reject soon. My food is bland, everything that I loved a month ago now tastes like dirty water, I’m tired, my kidney is sore to touch, life is just getting pretty hard pretty quickly. Am I ready to go through this all over again? Yes, and no. I’m so blessed to have had this kidney for as long as I have but going through another I am just so stressed out about. They say it could be another year until it’s really time but man, feels like I’m just constantly waiting and expecting the worst every single day. SO, I have decided to live life to the fullest! I’m 22! I want to have a home with the love of my life, I want to go to work every day and go grocery shopping and just live! I want to go on vacations and just be 22 for a little bit! So everyone say a prayer and take a toast for me! I am getting out of the hospital and living life for once! We got this! So if you see me being lazy not living my life, be sure to kick me in the butt and tell me to get popping! God’s got this and he’s taking care of me. I know sometimes I get on the debby downer side but Jesus will always know where I’m gonna be next. So anyway, thanks for my little rant on this fine “Buckle Up” segment with Allie. GO out and live your life. Life is way too short to be sad and not doing what you want. I love each and every one of you! Buckle up, y’all! ~Allie 🙂
