I miss thinking I knew who I was.

There is a lot of freedom to hitting rock bottom and reidentifying with yourself, and how you interact with the world around you. My days look so different today than they did a year ago. I made room for so many different things and this new Emma, who is unbothered by others opinions and freely pursues what she wants, is so new.

I don’t know. I spent the day with Matt as usual and worked my first day back at my brewery. Established I still know how to fix the grain mill. Did my drug tests, and passed the background check for my big girl job. Enjoyed the Christmas lights at the zoo, then went to my brewery to hit the food truck, and went to a new restaurant for cheesecake and coffee. It should feel like it was a really great day, because it was, so why am I still so sad?

Today we're taking about Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis 🫁 and organ donation.

27 years ago today, we (Admins 1 & 2) lost our father. He needed a double lung transplant, as he was suffering from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, a rare disease at the time. Research has come a long way since then, but still his only option was a transplant.

Thoughts on Thirty-Five

So. I’m 35. This is another day, since I have been so very lucky to have had many, that I could have never imagined. My 35th birthday. 35 years of fighting the symptoms of the same disease and it’s many, many side effects. 35 years of living like tomorrow may never come. 35 times I thought it would be my last birthday because I was so extremely sick or my prognosis was not so good. 35…

I know it's a gimmick, but if these dice help people through organ donation, then it's worth it. Healing Dice from Donate Life America. Shame I can't just buy them, and it's exclusive to America.

Every life has a story

Every life has a plan

And some of us chase the glory

Some just do the best we can

I choose not to follow

I choose not to lead

I choose simply to allow myself to be

I'm free

I'm human but I'm comfortable with me

I'm capable got everything I need

I'm focused and I'm living out my dreams💚🪄🌻👩🏾‍⚕️

Should organ donation be mandatory?

In the United States, 169 million people are registered donors.

While only fifty-eight percent are registered, the majority of Americans are in favor of organ donation.

“Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby's face, or love in the eyes of a woman. Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain. Give my blood to the teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play. Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week. Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk. If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses, and all prejudice against my fellow man. If, by chance, you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you. If you do all I have asked, I will live forever..” ~ Robert N. Test

National Donate Life Month

Each April, Donate Life America (DLA) leads National Donate Life Month (NDLM), an observance focusing national attention on the need and importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation. National Donate Life Month is about the importance of registering your decision to be a donor, honoring deceased and living donors, and celebrating the lives they saved. It is the generosity of donors and donor…

Ahmed Saad, a Palestinian man who had to jump through an insane amount of loops to get the funds necessary for escaping Gaza, is asking us all to donate to his friend’s family fund.

Mohamed is a hemophilia patient who needs access to medicine and to do surgery on his knees, his 11-year-old daughter also needs thigh surgery (she was supposed to do it outside Gaza in November but couldn't travel due to the border issues). Mohammed’s condition is worsening rapidly and, with Israel destroying the last functional hospital in Gaza, things are looking dire.

Please donate generously!

#Ahmed has truly an incredibly empathetic soul #and Israel is so ludicrously and inconceivably evil #there were 36 hospitals in the Gaza Strip four months ago and now there are none #these fucking monsters deserve nothing #so please feel for the Palestinians desperate to leave and get help #you can make a difference in a persons life today #please donate generously #palestine #free Palestine #call to action #from the river to the sea #free gaza #free West Bank

Lots of kitties today. Spent the whole day walking around the zoo and I didn’t get tired once — just slightly nauseous from my pulse being high. I’m almost home with my fur kids. I get to see my friends from the salon tomorrow and fix my hair so I don’t feel so not like myself physically. I ate really well. I helped a young man at Quest today, I could see he was a transplant patient and likely pre transplant and he looked upset. I wanted to talk to him, to see if I could help him, so I did. He started crying on the spot. He was afraid of bloodwork, he said he had a low pain tolerance, he hated needles, he was terrified of getting a transplant and didn’t have family in the area. I couldn’t lie to him, but I could reassure him. I told him the pain would not be so bad eventually, which is true. The needles are nothing. And the really bad pain, the post operative pain, is all worth it. That he had a wonderful life on the other side of surgery. That all of the pain that he’s already living with having liver disease will be gone. That as long as he remembers that he wants to be alive and see that other side, the pain will be manageable. It’s all true. I gave him my phone number and told him I would visit him in the hospital whenever he wanted, to just call me. My friend Joel who just had his transplant in April, who I was supposed to visit with today but that’s okay — I’ll see him when he’s feeling better, said that young man probably needed to meet me. I let him go in with me for my lab work so he could see that it isn’t that bad.

I hope I helped him today.

I went by Southern and saw some of my friends, it made me smile — to go to my old stomping ground on my 100th day of sobriety and not crave alcohol at all. Not even for a second. I’m still testing what I am comfortable with, and I surprise myself everyday. 100 days sober. 44 of them in the hospital. Driving back to my brother’s house, a police officer turned his lights on behind me and my heart didn’t stop. My anxiety is manageable now. I pulled over, knowing the worst thing that could happen to me is a speeding ticket. He kept driving. I smiled. I live authentically now. I’m not hiding anything. I like myself, I stand up for myself, I think I am someone pretty cool and loving and generous and loyal and funny. And I am happy with being me, someone who goes out of their way to help other people. I mean, UNOS is featuring me in the national news, for the love of god. Me? I never thought I could do something this remarkable, that I was capable of it — mostly because I had so many hateful things spewed at me. But now I see what other people see in me, good people. I am a miracle. I am a fighter. I have a bursting heart that has been dying to help others. I truly am a warrior in my honesty and vulnerability. I am proud of who I am.

A Different Direction

If you’ve been reading my recent blogs you might have noticed that they are a little different than they were a couple years ago. I recently began working harder on my book in the past couple of months than ever after taking 2 years completely away from it. Taking care to dig in and add deeper insight into my feelings and emotions throughout my life, the unfolding of events. To hopefully make it…

Hot take but canes are not a limited resource. Most mobility aids aren’t but canes especially. Canes are $20 at a lot of stores like CVS, Walmart, etc. You aren’t taking that resource away from “real” disabled people (hint: you ARE a real disabled person) in fact buying more canes creates more demand and works to make more stores carry them for better prices. You aren’t faking being disabled or hurting disabled people, you’re working to make canes more accessible which is helping disabled people.

Get the cane.

#I'm endlessly advocating for ppl to get canes #they can be so helpful #and what's the worst thing that could happen? you try it and it doesn't help? #ok sure you wasted $20 but you could donate it to someone who needs it and can't afford it! #what's the downside. #just get a cane. #it improved my life tenfold #just do it #disabled #disability #physical disability #cane user #mobility aid #mobility aids #disabled pride #disabled joy #10k #15k #my ramblings
