Hey everyone, I know I have been pretty inactive as of recently. A lot of this is due to health, since I have been in and out of doctors. I thought I'd give you guys a brief overview of what is going on. I care about you people, and I want you to be informed.
So basically the reason I had to take a break in the first place was because they found out that I have severe anemia, and little to no iron in my blood. I nearly had to have a blood transfusion, but they put me on iron supplements and my levels are slowly creeping back to more normal. Unfortunately this meant they had to find the cause. I've gone through extensive blood testing recently, and I had to get two digestive system tests done at the hospital (I just finished one today actually). Most of my system is okay, but they found polyps in my stomach, erosion, and atypical cells. So that's pretty much where I am at right now. They don't know the cause for anything yet, but they said that it could potentially be cancerous but it most likely is not. However with my stomach cells being what they are right now, I am pretty much primed for severe health issues developing. As a result I've had to quit smoking, which has been hell on my emotions. I have more tests coming up, but nothing nearly as bad as what I've gone through already.
So yeah, that's what's going on. I am playing the waiting game right now. Thoughts, prayers, etc. are immensely appreciated. I have started to get back into posting a bit, but all of this is going to be a slow process because I am also starting a new job soon and will be going to school fulltime come the end of August. Life is just up in the air right now.
I love you all, and miss you immensely. I really hate not being able to be active, but hopefully everything will settle down soon.
Lots of love,
Meghan
