So I'm a really, really horrible blogger....

Here is a little update on what is going on in my world...It has been a really busy and crazy year.

Just after the first of the year my best friend passed away from a long time struggle with some auto immune health issues and that has been really hard to deal with. I miss her more than words can convey.



She was my rock. She was the one person that I could talk to about all of my health problems and just be able to vent without getting the pity that you see from most people. I still can't believe that she is gone.

I ended up taking a break from classes during the winter since I just could not focus on it.

In february I had my 8th knee surgery, but it was a super easy recovery. I also got a major procedure done on my back that once again failed. I was then pretty much kicked out of my pain clinic because they were unable to come up with any way to treat my pain. :(

In March my mom had surgery on her hip and then we spent the next couple months in and out of the hospital with her due to a bunch of complications. So, needless to say it has been hectic.

Mom just had surgery again a week or so ago, and that did not go as planned and she will be having partial knee replacements done in a few months.

In terms of my health I am now waiting to head to Cleveland Clinic. I was originally supposed to go the end of June, but I was rescheduled for the end of July, so it is coming up next week.

I don't really have very high expectation for the visit, but then again, I never have high expectations when it comes to doctors. :) I know that I am sick to death of feeling like crap and I need some type of change soon. I can't continue to live like this.

On a good and exciting note, my sister is Prego and about to pop any day now. I am so excited to be an Aunt. I look forward to having the little one to play with. We also don't know the gender of the baby, so I'm looking forward to finding out what it is.

Since I had baby stuff to make, I have gotten a ton of knitting and crocheting done. The baby is going to be incredibly spoiled. :)

I have also gotten a couple things done for me lately and that has been nice.




I am hopefully going to get better and keeping this thing updated. :) Wish me luck.
