Breathing a sigh of relief

So, today I had my chest X Ray and Doctors appointment with my pulmonary specialist. My X Ray showed that there are no more signs of Sarcoidosis in my lungs and my lymph nodes are no longer swollen. I am so happy to get this news because one of the last things I needed was another weird disease. 

I don't need to go back and see my doctor for another year and if I stay healthy hopefully I will never have any lung issues again.

Hemophilia and bleeds is something I am use to but lung problems are terrible I must say. Not being able to take  deep breath in and having a tight and sore chest is such a terrible feeling. 

I think staying happy and stress free is an important part of staying healthy and one thing I find that is good for relieveing stress is cooking.

Today I made a giant pot of soup. I like making soup because you can jut throw everything in a pot and it creates this delicious mix! Its also big and good for sharing incase you are lucky enough to have family or friends visit. 

May ramblings

So, Ive started to go to the gym 3 times a week. Ive been doing it for the past 4 weeks and I must say I feel a lot better. To my dismay I haven't lost any weight but I must say I am feeling better and I am excited to see how long I can go without a bleed.
I know that the stronger and fitter I get the healthier I will be but it seems like ive been on a diet my whole life and ive always been unhappy with the way I look but if I can get the amount of bleeds Im having down that will take care of one of my worries!
Ive also started gardening which I love a lot. I can't do a lot of it as I find it hard crouching over and lifting soil and I can't say I am particularly good at it but it is fun.
In other news, I am going to see my lung specialist tomorrow for my 6 month check up. Last April I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis so these appointments are to keep a eye on things. My last appointment showed that it was almost completely gone so I am praying tomorrows x ray shows the same thing.g
I hope everyone is having a great spring and hopefully I will continue to get stronger!

April showers bring May flowers

So, I haven't written in a long time. I feel like I haven't done a much of anything lately.
My mom has gone in for her hip replacement and has been in the hospital for the last 5 weeks. When I am in pain or hurting I can complain and move on but when my family is hurting I find it paralyzing. I don't feel like talking or writing or socializing.
Ive started a part time job which I love so much. The people are great and it is a wonderful distraction.
Lately my mom has been feeling a lot better and I suspect she will get out of the hospital within the next 2 weeks.
I guess I need to let go and stop worrying about me just like she had to do with me when I grew up and moved away.
It is for sure easier said than done!
When I am not worrying about my momma I've been gardening and I must say it is such a lovely hobby. I highly recommend it.
