Its been awhile now since my last blog post and since the surgery. Dave and I are both doing well. Our schedule has been a little over packed lately, possibly because we are making up for all the things we couldn't do a year ago, due to him being on Dialysis.
I still get dehydrated faster and keep trying to drink lots of water, but I do forget sometimes. I also on occasion get a slight pain where my kidney used to be. I am assuming this is still from scar tissue around my muscles and over use of that area at times. There is also still hardly any sign I had a surgery, people are amazed at the incision site being my belly button and looking so nicely healed. I haven't forgotten about before and after pics, I have just been busy as mentioned above. I am going to try and challenge myself to do it by the end of this week, so if you are interested keep an eye out.
Onto other fun things, Dave and I brought home a puppy, something we definitely did not have time for when he was on dialysis. She is a Brittany and we have named her Echo. She has a lot of energy and is keeping us both active which is great for the both of us.

Lastly, last year I ran In the Cupid's Undie Run and am planning on doing so again this year. The run takes place on Valentine's Day and is a mile run around Baltimore City in my Underwear. The run raises money for The Children's Tumor Foundation to help end neurofirbomatosis(NF). NF is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on various nerves. This disorder can cause lots of difficulties for people who have it. Knowing how bad tumors (B-9 or not) can effect the human body and having personally been effected by someone who has had a different type of genetic tumor causing disorder I feel like this is a great cause to support. This is why I am passionate about raising money this year to help find a cure for NF. By running this race I committed to help raise money for the cause. If you are interested in helping me do that you can donate to my page http://my.cupids.org/AmberWoo . All donations go to The Children's Tumor Foundation.
