be kind...alright!

This week started out not good and ended much better. I changed my mindset. I thought how Christ treats people with kindness, never judging, caring, and with love. Over the month I have started to go to work only for the patients rather than me going to work really excited about everything. At the beginning of this week I did not want to go in, but I did anyways. I noticed how I started to treat people at my work differently. A couple of Sundays ago I remembered one of the lessons was on how we treat everyone we come in counter with on a day to day basis. That day I thought of a moment when I was going to get some pills at the pharmacy, the woman who I interacted with wasn't nice at all. After I walked off and said some words that I shouldn't have said. We are all humans and we forget things and I'm a lost cause because I can't even remember if I took my pills or not, but anyways. We don't even know why people treat you the way they do, but we can change our attitudes on how we treat them back. I encounter my co-workers every day of the week and my attitude about everything was totally wrong, so I decided I was going to try to act like Christ and try to treat people as He does. It was tough, but at the end of my day I was happier. Happiness is the best thing.
Saturday was the best ever. My dad, mom, Steve and I went up to Snowbird and skied all day. I fell a few times, didn't freeze, wasn't tired, and had a whole lot of fun. It is amazing what new heart can do. I wouldn't have been able to enjoy myself that much if it wasn't for my donor. She is the best thing that anyone could ever give me. For my birthday this coming Monday, tomorrow I got a bracelet with the date I received my gift of life. This gift is definitely exactly what it says it is. I am a changed woman who is so thankful for all her trials thus far in her life. I would change lives with anyone because I know that each and every one of us on this earth has a plan and I am sticking with my plan.

On last Monday I had to check my prograf levels because silly me I already took it. It came back a little low, but they didn't change anything so they are planning on checking it the next time I'm in which is Feb. 4th, right before my half marathon.

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...
