The Knee Situation

As a lot of you know I was born with a really weird knee condition so rare there isn't even a name for it. When I was born I guess I was born without a groove for my knee cap to go into so my knee cap just floated there and didn't protect my knee causing it to constantly dislocate the muscle also had no strength and my specialist has even called it mush. Long story short I went to therapy before discovering what was wrong they said I needed to see a surgeon and after a couple tries ended up at primary children's with one of the best specialists for knee and elbows in Utah Dr. Aoki and at twelve had my first knee surgery. Now ten years later it is time for my final one I have had five up to this point but this one is different. My knee is fractured the cartilage is destroyed and there is a tear in my meniscus. So surgery is a must I am showing signs of nerve damage and the road ahead is a crazy one. Sorry this is such a short one I just wanted to update everyone on why I will be in and out. I will try to blog everyday during the prep and recovery of the surgery but just know drugs may make me miss some days so here's too another adventure.




Trying my best to show you the scar and the massive swelling not sure you can see it all to well but I tried.

Another Sneak Peak

I don't have much to tell you about I've just been in so much pain that I can barely function through the day. I did however start a new book Deep Blue By Jennifer Donnely so far it is really good. I've also been so obsessed with booktube. I have been watching videos of booktubers all day.  So as promised her is a sneak peak of The Portals Series: The Rose. Alexandria woke when there was a shift on the mattress. Sitting in front of her was a gorgeous man. He had thick shoulder length black hair and ruby red eyes . He was nicely built and had the strongest jaw line. "Alexandria." He whispered in a deep perfect voice. She didn't know why but she reached for him, she craved his skin touching her's she needed it. He leaned forward grabbing her hand and pressing it against his cheek. She felt the slightest bit of stubble, and her heart started racing he was perfect to perfect to be real. "Don't be afraid I've got you." He then whi

My Thoughts On School

It is a new year of school and I am so happy for those who are using that time to better their lives. I do however want to take a bit of a different approach just to get you thinking so let's get started.  I am not a high school graduate I have had many problems keeping me from education, When I was in fourth grade I got a really bad case of hives so bad that they had to kill my immune system to make it go away and that's when the problems really started, It never came back right and even to this day at twenty years old I get sick at the drop of a hat. That would have been hard enough but then at age twelve my knee problems were discovered and I have spent every other year having surgery and a long six week recovery. I was so sick that I wasn't able to finish my junior year of high school I had missed so much. I got the chance to go to my senior year but I just couldn't catch up and had to have another surgery to remove my gallbladder. I now know I was also suffering

As I start this blog I am currently in the process of editing my very first book ahhh!!! Portals Series Book 1: The Rose. I feel humbled by the the trials and blessings that have lead me here. I have burnt out so many computers in my writing it isn't even funny. I have lost or ruined notebooks and my personal life has taken so many hits. So I'm just going to jump in and hope you can keep up. I'm Shikira ReNae Savage I am 21 years old I live with my family I'm the daughter of Tina and Todd Savage and younger sister to a 24 year old brother Jaireth, I was born in Orem and lived there and American Fork and now live in Manti UT. I have been writing for longer then I can remember and I always imagined to be married as soon as I got out of high school. Well that didn't work out and through all of the hard relationships and surgeries I was forced to endure with multiple knee surgeries and my apendix and gallbladder removed I turned to books to find my love. So now I writ
