Hi Everyone!
I hope that you are all doing well. I have not done an update post in quite a while and there has been so many things that have happened to me or are going to happen to me that I thought you all should know about. I am not only doing this to benefit myself as this is kind of a journal for me but for also with people who are struggling and simply need to know that soon, everything will be okay. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
So the first major news I have to tell you all is that I am getting surgery! What? Why? Is that really necessary? Well, for your information, I have been very sick basically since January with my Endometriosis pain. I have been in excruciating pain and have been also bleeding a lot. I know....TMI but its important to know. As some of you may know, when you have Endometriosis, your not supposed to bleed or have your period at all because it spreads the disease. Well I would be going a month and 1/2 straight having my period. So my doctor and I decided that it is time to get another laparoscopy. Now, I am not going to lie, I am freaking out. When I found out I had to get another surgery, I was crying and I was shaking and I was absolutely and still am terrified. Not only does this mean that the disease has spread, but it also means, well in my mind it means that I am at a closer risk for not being able to have kids. Now, I have absolutely no idea if that is true or not but that is literally all I can think about. I know it is normal to worry but something you should know about me is that I worry...a lot. I got it from my abuela. So I have been worrying non stop for the past two months. So that is the biggest thing that has happened to me.
The next thing I want to address is weight. Oh my goodness, such a scandalous topic....no not really. I do not care about talking about my weight because I have done it from the beginning when I first started making blog posts. So unfortunately, I have gained weight. And a lot of it. Some of it is my fault because it is so so so hard to eat healthy at my school, no matter how hard you try. And even though I would go to the gym, every single day and work my butt off, it would do nothing. So I have started to gain weight. Now I am not surprised or disappointed. I am just ready to go home and go back to being able to eat good clean food and being able to make smoothies and juices all I want. So I am not worried about not being able to lose the weight. It is a little annoying that I am having surgery, right in the beginning of my summer so I have to take it easy for a few weeks and not go crazy exercising like I normally do in the summer. So I will be doing blog posts on my weight loss journey like I usually do. Unfortunately, I will not be doing pictures like before and after ones because honestly, I hate those. I hate those to absolute death. So I will not be doing them. But you will definitely see like pictures from now to pictures probably at the end of the summer to see the progression. To me, I find that a lot more valuable. Just saying.
And the last and final thing that I feel like I should address is college. I am literally a week away from being done with my first year of college. Now I am planning on doing maybe a mini series of stuff I learned at college and like what to bring and what things you really didn't need to bring and making friends and classes and all that stuff. So that is coming up but I just wanted to address that my experience has been a very interesting one. My experience is probably so much more different than most college students because of my Endometriosis but honestly, I do not know. But I will share most of what has happened, not all for like personal reasons.
Oh and the last thing that I thought I would pop in is that in the beginning of last semester, I was asked to speak at Boston Children's Hospital about my story and coping with pain and everything and I ended up with a mentor award. Well, I am so happy to announce that I was asked to come speak again. I am super duper excited and happy that I am able to inspire others and share my story to help others in the same or similar position as me.
That is all that is going on with me! How are you all doing? Hows work or school or whatever you do? I hope it is going well. Summer is in the air so hopefully that makes everyone even happier! Well I hope you all enjoyed this little update from me. I love doing these, they are so much fun for me and they are super easy for me to write. Have a wonderful day/night!
Carpe Diem,
Sophia
