ITP and More

Anyone ever heard of ITP? Well I haven't and supposedly I have it. I guess I have a low platelet count ( blood cells that allow your blood to clot and help you to heal faster) My count is around 11,000 and normally they should be anywhere from 150,000 to 400,000 so yeah mine suck!That's why I've been getting mysterious bruises and red spots all up and down my legs...way weird and super annoying. But I will be seeing a doctor regularly now to try and regulate the number and get it higher. The only thing is I'm on this medication that is famous for making people gain weight and look chubby (like I don't already have that problem) I promise when the doc told me about the medicine I said these exact words "But I'm already chubby" ha ha I'm such a loser. But I couldn't ask for a better place to put on some extra pounds...Texas has no shame...I mean none. People never stop amazing me with their disgusting bikinis and short short shorts. So what the heck I might as well embrace it if I have to. I'm trying to be as positive as I can but this situation is pretty sucky. I'm moving around and seeing different doctors with the first name Shriham and Rishad...not so comforting. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

I'm not going to lie I'm pretty done with this whole summer thing. I got to come home and spend time with my family and Utah was like a dream come true. The weather, the 4th of July extravaganzas, seeing my fam was just what I needed but now I miss it more. I want nothing more than to be home right now. I just have to be patient...Only six more weeks!!!!

here's a couple pics from the 4th in Utah

gosh I love my family!
