Good VS. Bad

Hey Guys!
As I sit here on my couch with a blanket and my sweats on and some taylor swift going I can say life is good. Yes my life is overwhelming at time but there are too many good times to out rule all the bad.  Yesterday I got a call from my doctors saying that my protein output it really high and has doubled in a month which is bad. This means that my kidneys aren't functioning like they should. So for those of you who don't know much about me I am also I diabetic. Not controlling your diabetes can also lead to this problem. So of course my doctors are leaning toward it being diabetic related but I don't think it is. Being my age with diabetes and cancer is seriously terrible. I don't feel "normal". I don't feel like I can compare myself to my friends at all. I always feel like I don't fit in. I wish I could be fun and silly and crazy... but I can't. This is something I really struggle with. If I wasn't sick I would be involved in everything. So back on track first it is not normal for kids my age with diabetes to slack off with their diabetes during there teen years but my problem is its not just diabetes its cancer also. If I just had diabetes no problem. So the past couple of days have been hard to grasp. Because of this problem I could possibly be taken off this medicine which terrifying me. I have been on this for almost a year and a half but I am doing so well on it. I don't have any side effects except for this problem. So please pray pray pray this problem goes away on its own and that I can continue on this medicine.  The day before yesterday we were also visited by our friends from Canada! We love them so much! She taught my mom and sister how to braid in a pink piece of hair called a highlight for hope! So we did that and visited and had some chili! So as I am preparing for hope week and having make up homework and I am doing a St. Jude walk coming up and trying to fit in time for friends its all so overwhelming so if you facebook me, email me, or text me I am sorry if I take a little bit to get back to you! So please leave me a message here and let me know what you think!
