551 Hours, MRI results, Piercings, Marianas Trench.

Hello guys!

I've been in Kingston all week for Reading Week. I had a great time and spent most of it with AJ.
I got the results of my MRI and it turns out I have Focal Nodular Hyperplasia, it sounds like a big scary, horrible thing, but it's not.
It is referred to as a tumour, but it isn't harmful. It is very unlikely that it will grow or cause any symptoms. My doctor said it is an anomaly and that my liver just grew that way.
I am going to have to have it monitored every 6 months to a year to make sure it doesn't cause any problems, I have another ultrasound on May 1st to have it checked again.
I also had more blood taken to test my Hypothyroidism and they were able to lower the dose of the pills I am taking for it, which is always good.

This week has gone by so quickly for me and I wish it could last a little bit longer. I am going back to Cornwall tonight, I'm not exactly super excited to leave home again, but I got classes to go to and work to get done.
Things seem to be getting better for me, I am happier than I've been in a really long time and I feel like I'm not being held back by myself anymore, I can finally achieve things I want to and put my all in everything I do.

I got my lip pierced again yesterday, I now have spiderbites! I used my Christmas money of course and it didn't hurt at all and it hasn't really swollen or anything, by far the best piercing I have gotten, it was so simple and quick.

I love how it looks and it doesn't feel like a new piercing at all, the new hole is the one closer to the corner of my mouth. (Ignore my dry, cracked lips).

I now have 8 piercings, my tongue, smiley, lip x2, both ears, industrial and my belly button. I plan to get second holes on both of my ears soon too, so I'll have 10, which sounds like a lot...but it really isn't.

I finally came up with a topic for my photo essay assignment in one of my classes, I am going to take photos of all of the things-most of the things I bought on eBay. If I took a picture of all of them I'd have way to many. It took me all week to come up with a theme and as soon as I stopped thinking so hard about it, that's when I figured out what to do my assignment on. I need to stop thinking so much, things are easier when I don't!

I am coming back to Kingston on March 26th, which is my parents anniversary. Then on the 28th I am going to the KRock centre to see Marianas Trench with Lexie who will also be coming to Kingston with me. I am beyond excited!

As AJ said, 551 hours until I am in Kingston again. That sounds like forever...

And on that note, I need to finish up some laundry, clean 3 hamster cages and make sure I have everything packed and don't forget anything.

Life Starts Now, am I ready?
