Hi Peeps!

It’s been a while since I’ve been here and I wanted to check in. What’s been happening? Oh gosh. Where do I start?

Kids are great. Growing up so fast (sad face). I was looking to be a living donor (May as well do something big while I’m on earth, right?). Gotta be in great health to be a living donor and I passed with flying colors...except I had to get a cyst checked out on a certain part of my body. Then was told must have cyst removed so I’m down an organ and a half. However, 2 weeks after that surgery I develop this hacking cough. No fever and since I’ve never even had strep I’m not sure what to think. Go to doctor 3 times and they say I have a bug. Finally, I tell ex Mr. GB’s mom (who was helping me during recovery) I need to go to ER. I have a collapsed lung and am admitted for 12 days. Oh. And btw, GB, you also have MRSA in your lungs! Go big or go home. I’m an overachiever. Anyhow, I’m recovering and while it was a bit rough, I’m certainly swimsuit ready. Seriously. I look freaking fab in a bikini right now except for all of my new scars And I’ve been approved to be a living donor but I just can’t go there right now.

Ex Mr GB is getting married in a couple of months so he’s certainly had more success than I in the dating department. I dated someone for a couple of months earlier this year and thought this could be a fit. But he “ghosted” mid text. However, he showed back up the night before my first surgery. He said he was falling for me and was nervous. I don’t really believe that , however I was happy to hear him out. He asked if we could meet when I felt better. He was calling and texting while I was in the hospital after the 2nd surgery. However, now that I’m recovered, crickets. Hard pass on this:-) Nearly dying made me realize in addition to not being able to do crazy anymore, I also can’t handle flaky. I just don’t have the fortitude. I would like to find someone. Not willing to put in the effort to OLD right now. So, I’ll just do me.

I love catching up on everyone’s threads. Sounds like peeps are doing awesome and I’m glad to hear that. Hugs to you al!
