I went to the doctor yesterday for my three month check up. Things did not go quite as well as I had hoped. I have been having a little bit of pain on my right hand side that has progressively gotten worse. However, since my last post, I have ran my first 5K and performed with the dance team for the last 4 games (last night was our last game). Apparently I have pushed myself a little too hard with all the dancing and extra activity I have been doing. So, I was told to not dance for awhile and just stick with walking. My weight restriction has been lifted in terms of my incision, but because of the pain I am already having I have to watch the amount of weight I lift. So, I am not really off the restriction but atleast I can push a grocery cart. haha. Because of the pain I am still experiencing, they went ahead and drew my blood to make sure my liver is working properly, even though they feel it is just a pulled muscle from me pushing it just a little too much. My incision looks really good, it is completely closed up. So while my appointment did not go as well as I hoped, atleast there was some good news. I thought I would be released at yesterday's appointment but because of my pain, I wasn't. I have to go back in two months.
On a different note, I am currently trying to raise awareness about MALS so that other girls do not have to experience the pain I went through for years. I only hope that I can get people to listen and help me spread the word about this uncommon medical issue.
