5 Weeks Post-Op and...

so I’m 5 weeks post-op, 50 pounds down, and my life is suddenly taking a turn for the great side. My nephrologist (kidney Dr) dropped my dialysis from 5 days a week to 4 days a week, I got accepted into college, and me and @paxeirene joined this awesome gym. All around i’d have to say i’m doing better and feeling much much much better. I can’t believe the difference 50 pounds has made. Anywho....thats all for now kiddies.

Where is your happy place?

My happy place is on the beach, near the ocean. Something about the water that has a calming effect on me, I just love it.

August Happiness Challenge Day 25

Something that helps you calm down when you’re stressed out.

For me, if i need to calm down i usually sit down and either write or play a video game.
