My Leah

My leah will always have a special place in my heart.



She is so beautiful and full of life. I'm glad I know her.





I don't know what I would do without her.














Thanks for visiting, my pet.

the adorables

i love lucy

theres a cold front movin' in..

that's what i was told by multiple patients as I was working last night and as they were watching the news.
I was all excited until I looked at the weather report myself. Do you know what constitutes a "cold front" in st george?...take a look...

Tues. Sep 7

high 92 low 67


Wed. Sep 8

high 90 low 59


Thurs. Sep 9

high 83 low 54


Fri. Sep 10

high 85 low 59


Apparently, mid 80's to low 90's is a cold front.



**don't get me wrong, I welcome the cooler weather with open arms (arms that will probably have sleeves now), but i just think it is funny that a cold front in st george could be considered a heat wave back home..
I miss oregon. :)

Nursing school is good by the way. Work is good. I'm surviving so far..

Back 2 School

good bye summer. i'll miss you










and really, Dr. Laura? I've never been a fan but i could tolerate you. But its not even just that you said to n-word (a lot). its all the other stupid mess you said.

3 yearzzzzzz

I am grateful for my liver. We are getting along just fine.
Three years ago...

Just chillin' about 2 or 3 weeks after surgery. I look so happy considering I have that feeding tube still in my nose. Ugh. And that central line in my IJ. double ugh.
(This is one of the only pictures I have of me in the hospital.)


How do other people celebrate their liver's birthdays? I have no idea. But this year I spent it with people I love and who love livers.

First, Grace and Fauf came to visit. And we ate and watched youtube videos and swam and loved each other.


The next weekend I went camping at Sand Hollow. (Beware of Swimmers Itch.)


Sisters


Dennis and Marge made me a liver cake!
It turns out liver cakes are delicious.



And I enjoyed the earth.


The next few days I spent in Las Vegas with my AmberLee. But we were having too much fun to take pictures.


My transplant kept me alive. And it introduced me to the medical world.

And left me with a pretty cool battle wound: My scar!


Thank you, liver. Thank you, liver donor. Thank you doctors and nurses and hospitals and families and friends and everyone.
