Life goes on

Life if like a roller coaster some time it is up and sometime it is down. I hope and will try to make the rest of this year on the up. School is almost over, and as I sit in class right now...haha, we will only have 3 more weeks and then I will have my BSN.

Just so this doesn't have the be the elephant in the room I will just let everyone know I lost my right tube due to a cyst when I was 14. I have one tube and it is blocked. My only options now are IVF or surgery. Many doctors have told me to skip surgery because of the risk of more scar tissue, tubal pregnancy, and of course possible damage to the other reproductive organs. However my tube is blocked on the outside and not on the inside, which means that I have a great chance of pregnancy. My thought is my tube right now doesn't work, so if it gets damaged and it won't work then I am in the same boat that I am in right now. I could be that special person where everything goes well and I can have multiple pregnancies, and never have to do IVF, or surgery again. I will be having surgery June 6 after I graduate, and after Timmy gets done, so he can take care of me.

As most of you know I have had 3 grandpas pass away in 8 months. It has been mostly hard for my family losing my grandpa that lives here in town. We have been close to them, and we would see them often. My heart goes out to my grandma. I know how much she is hurting, and no one knows just how she feels. I think the one thing about his death that has been good is that I feel much closer to my grandma, almost like I need to protect her. I spent the first night of his loss with her and it was particullarly hard for me to see he hurt in her face and the pain that she went through. Just so my life doesn't look so depressing here are some pictures from the past few months.
