rugrat?

Hey guys! Sorry about me not posting. I'm in a new house and my schedule is coming back to normal, I know another excuse but very sorry. This week what a week it has been. My work is going alright. I say alright because I am not that busy and I feel like I could be doing something more important. Sometimes it gets really awkward to and I'm not that great at awkward moments and I feel like they don't really need me there. Any ways I am hoping this week will be better.
Alright, so I got my blood check on the 10th and my prograf level was way low. My docs called and we played a little phone tag, but I finally got a hold of them. I think I already told ya this. So I'm going to get my blood re-checked on the 18th.
Heres some good news, so I can't carry my own kids. Steve and I have talked about adoption and surrogacy casually, but now we have someone that has offered and I mean there has been a few people that we know and some are in our family. This person is none of those. She used to do my hair and still does my moms. She wants to give someone the joy and happiness that she received from being a mother. My mom and her have been talking about this ever since Gus. She thought she was too old, but I did my research and she is not!! So I am going to discuss this with my docs and how are my eggs because I am on all my anti-rejection drugs and all that stuff. I am really excited and a little bit nervous cause it costs an arm and a leg, maybe two legs? When I see my friend's babies I get so  jealous, I am extremely happy for them and their family don't get me wrong. I just want a rugrat of my own. From my experience and what I have learned I want to share that with my child and teach them to always believe, to keep fighting as hard as they can and stand up for who you are.
My in-laws were here this weekend, so great to see my father in-law such a caring man and funny. Last time he saw me was when I was on life support, pretty shocking. Truly, oh so very blessed.
I wrote my donor's father again. I said happy holidays and just said how cool I thought it was for him to share where her organs went. She helped and saved so many grateful people. Can't wait to meet her someday!
I am on an women's indoor team. I am getting better. How grateful I am to be back out on the field playing the sport I lived for. Last game we lost and on my way home, I started to tell myself that I could of probably gave more and then all of a sudden I said what are you saying Paige (my middle name) you are back out there be blessed. This past week I have been lazy, only worked out 3 days. I feel so bad when I don't be active everyday except Sunday. Being active to me is going for a run, hike, or playing soccer. It is so hard when it is so frigid out, but when I am out running its not bad at all.

  1. Hi - I've commented before - my daughter Molly had a heart transplant at age 3 (one year ago now!) Her not being able to carry her own children was one of the hardest things for me to accept and deal with. I have no idea how or when I'll tell her but it was interesting to read what you wrote about it, thank you. I hope she too can adopt or use a surrogate. Good luck!

quarantine = self reflection

I was talking with my lovely mother on Facetime this morning and she suggested to post on my blog. I look at my blog and noticed I haven't posted since November! So here you go, during this crazy time I am no longer working and my day to day tasks have shifted drastically. I am sure all of you know what is going on all over the world. I hope all of you are staying safe and healthy. I have been in this situation before. I was taken out of the game due to my heart, my life was soccer. Now my life was going to work and heading off to soccer practice, but COVID-19 has taken that away. I am reflecting on my response when my heart wasn't doing that well. At first I was frustrated and asking why? Now I am doing the same thing. WHY? Because I am HUMAN I know!!! This time I caught myself and decided to choose another route.  My alternate route has been getting outside every darn day, no matter the weather and enjoying the beauties of this earth, sun, clouds, rain, breeze, nature, the ...

boise

This past week was a wake up for our Wrigley. We had a dog trainer come over to our house and teach us how to break his habits of aggression towards other dogs and people. We learned how Wrigley communicates and when to give affections and praise and when not to. Now that we have the proper tools rather than the wrong ones. We are excited to help train Wrigley's behaviors into more friendly ones. This process is going to be long, but just like our surrogate process we are going to dive in and handle whatever is to come. With the surrogacy I have spoken to my parent's neighbor about being our attorney and she agreed to represent us.  This weekend we headed up to Boise. Steve and I have always liked the idea of Boise, so we went to go and checked out some places. We got these bikes at the hotel we were staying at for FREE and rode around downtown Boise. We had a blast riding around to all the places. On the way home, we stopped to see Idaho State women's soccer play. They be...

New Day, New Chapter, New....????

After the other days SHOCKing experience, I had to go into the clinic today to have my device interrogated.   Basically find out why I got shocked…. Was it warranted?? My device is set to SHOCK me if my heart gets beating too fast, like 180bpm or higher. Which I guess I excreted myself too much yesterday. This is a little bit upsetting, I was hardly up the trail and I got shocked. How am I supposed to do anything physical and not get shocked? Think about trying to exercise but also having to worry about a horse kicking you in the chest at any time.   Leaving the clinic I was pretty bummed… Is my heart just getting worse? Anyway, I went to work at straws and about an hour into work the clinic was calling me. I didn’t want to answer because I had a feeling my INR would be too low again and I would have to be admitted to the hospital. Anyway, I answered and Dr. Kia was on the line. He said “I heard you left upset from the clinic today?” I figured he was about to give me a pe...
