Happy Birthday To Me

At about this time nineteen years ago, my Mom was in the middle labour with her first baby, me. Ten something pounds, yes it was I who mutilated her stomach, those stretch marks, and scars from the cesarean. Thanks mom for everything you have went through for me! I guess I am still her baby, she still does a lot for me.

Man, nineteen years, how does time fly so fast?! One last year as a teenager, and then twenty. It seems so old. Even though this year has seen my life being tipped upside down, or go in reverse for a while, things are still moving. One year is not a lot if you really look at it, I am sure I have spent over five years of my life eating if you add it all up.

Gas... I am not a good person to be around for the nose. My stomach has been acting up, well basically since I got out of the hospital. Could be the drugs, and the combination of me being somewhat of a pig when I eat, and/or my digestion getting back on track after the intense chemo. But do I stink. At least its not painful gas, just that kind that rumbles in your stomach until it finds it way out. But bloating is not so fun regardless if I doesn't "hurt". Something that does hurt.... Bladder pain, the kind when urinating. I did a urine sample today at the hospital, its a little concerning to me, because it hurts. The doctor will let me know if it is infection, hopefully not, but who knows, I am in good hands. Ditropan will hopefully help with the flow,and pain. But isn't that a great Birthday present? I always wanted that!

Anyway, big celebration tomorrow! Not extremely excited, but its my Birthday, so I can demand and do what ever I want...As long as it does not involve public places, dirt, dust, sawdust, mould, increased sun exposure, swimming...blah blah blah. It will be a regular day, but my Birthday as well, but they have never been a big deal to me anyways. Everyday is just another day, another crossing of the sun across that big blue sky...

I did get a good present yesterday, a short little note from my donor, anonymous of course, but it was something I wasn't really expecting, but great to know the person is out there. Somewhere, if only I could crack the code....hmmm
