So I slightly missed my Tumorversary!!! 5 years and 3 days ago, the Peapod left the building!!!
I guess I should brush off my Blog - it's been ages since I posted anything, how boring am I? I just got tired of talking about Acromegaly for a little bit there.
Since my pituitary surgery, I have had so many surgeries to fix everything that Acromegaly has destroyed in my body... some surgeries I have posted about, some maybe not... who knows, this AcroFog definitely hinders memory sometimes (ok, well, all the time)! I did get my right knee replaced June 2018, my right hip replaced in July 2018 and then my left hip replaced November 2018... just a little SLICIN' N DICIN in 2018!! I was surgery-free until December 22, 2020 when I got a new, stronger and better right shoulder!!! I mean, I am still not 100%, but it is much easier to kayak now - at least on the right side! Next up... left should hopefully November 2021.
With all that being said, it has been a long journey thus far, but as many of us know it was the best day ever to get answers, and to know that really it WAS all in our head.
I'm sure everybody thinks I'm so strong and positive, but there are days where it wears me down mostly because of the pain and swelling. I used to talk about it a lot more than I do now, because it has become such a part of me and who I am that it is what it is, and this will always be with me for the rest of my life. I'm also super thankful that I have met such amazing people that love and support me and understand the trials and tribulations that I go through. I have an amazing #acrofamily who will always be there for me. I love and cherish you, you know who you are, and I'm so thankful to have you in my life.
