Almost 30
I have decided that I am going to start blogging on a regular basis. I want to share my first year in my 30th with everyone. But first I must go back and share the past year. This time last year wasn't all that great for me. It all started with the Ducks losing, then the Saints and the Patriots. I know that it seems small but I was feeling like my luck had run out. I was the person that you went shopping with so that we could have a close parking spot. But for some reason I felt like my life wasn't going that well. My relationship was on the rocks and headed for failure. I was getting these bruises on my legs and arms. I wasn't too concerned because I have always bruised easily. Finally, my co-workers told me to call my doctor and then doctor told me that I needed to go to ER. At this point in my life I was just recently diagnosed with anxiety and hoping that the pain in my neck and back would go away soon. Little did I know what was going to happen to me. For my 29th birthday I wanted to do two things, get a tattoo and get my ears pierced. The tattoo went fine but when I got my ear pierced they wouldn't stop bleeding. At the time I wasn't sure why, but what was happening was my blood wasn't clotting. There were all these signs that you don't realize until way after something has happened. So back to where I was. I was at Good Sam in the ER but it wasn't the regular ER it was like a doctors office. I don't think that they realized what was going to take place for the 4 hours. I thought it was going to be nothing. Then all the doctors kept coming in. There was my mom, Ross, Jayme, nurses and doctors all in one room. They said that they are going to admit me. I didn't think anything of it until they took me up to the cancer floor. Like really? Are you serious, you aren't going to tell me anything but you are going to put me on the cancer floor. They had a specialist come in to tell me that I have acute lymphocytic leukemia and that I need to go to OHSU. Just like that my life changed forever. Most of the story you already know but from Ross' perspective. So I will start my journey by blogging. All my feelings for everyone to see.
