This year I get to celebrate my birthday on a bunch of different days. Last weekend I was down south with my family where my parents gave me a gift certificate for a massage (and it was great), and Liz and Ella gave me a beautiful “sisters” necklace Last night Sean and I celebrated by going to one of my favorite local restaurants

I also found out today that I have Von Willebrands. Some sort of bleeding disorder that my father also has. Apparently most people who have it never even know, and its not a major inconvenience. But I’ve been considering fixing my deviated septum, and facial surgeries (which bleed alot) are a little more risky with Von Willebrands. Next week I’ll be going in for a test to determine if a drug they commonly treat surgery patients with vWD to minimize bleeding issues will work for me. Yay, good birthday present to myself!
