Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

No, I’m not in the hospital, I use numbers and count the days when I’m in hospital. Since I have been out, I haven’t been feeling my best. I’m trying not to stress because hey we all know what stress can truly do to our bodies. It ain’t pretty sight! I’m more worry about my blood count then anything right now.  Its been long time since I haven’t had to get transfusion, my count wasn’t all that high. I’m use to leaving hospital with either high 8 or 9 and last month it was 10. It kept going up to even when I visit my primary doctor. When I did visit the hospital the first time it was sort of high 8, but it drop to low 7 since I was in so much pain and it was going up to it reach 7.8 then a little bit more. So you think I should be, NEGATIVE. So since I’m not feeling my best, I was told to make a doctor appointment with my Primary Doctor. I already knew that wasnt going to happen, since I can get to his office on time and still be in there for almost four hours if not exactly four hours. If you wonder what the heck he be doing, you truly not alone. So I made the appointment with  my hemoglobin doctor. If I have to get transfusion, I plan on going for the port ASAP, I can’t take no more sticking and poking.

 

I started my JOURNEY with sharing my illness with ya’ll because I wanted to spread more AWARENESS on my illness. I must say I haven’t done a good job at all. Seems either I’m sick or school or you know we had the lovely holidays last year. I know I still have to do a post to explain what exactly it does and you know all that good stuff. I know everyone doesn’t know what it is exactly. I believe before I continue sharing my illness, I should share a post about it, and do trust me its coming very soon. I’m still struggling with catching up with my studies and staying on top of it. I hate when I’m behind and it takes forever to catch up, seems like that all I’m doing to be honest and its showing in my grades. So not happy when I’m so close to been done with my associate degree. I plan on getting my bachelor once I graduate. Off the topic, but wanted to share that little bit info with you all. I do hope everyone is having a BLESS Day/Night! God Bless

    1. Hey Gabby,

      Thank You for your kind comment. Awww you have read on my illness, I’m so touch I must say. 🙂 Yea I know I don’t need to stress, but seem like I have been doing it little to much lately. So not good. I got to work on LETTING GO AND LETTING GOD HANDLE IT! Trying to get much rest as possible, it would help if my classes wasnt kicking my behind. But I have made up my mind, not to quit and to keep going. Sending love & hugs right back to you my good friend. God Bless 🙂

  3. Praying for a minimum of a blood count of “10” for you RIGHT NOW because you are definitely a “10+” in my book, journey. Wish I was near you to tutor you and fetch and tote and type, etc. to help you achieve your associate’s degree! Yes, getting that port sounds like it would relieve a great deal of the subconscious stress you carry inside you in constant dread of being stuck so much. GO FOR IT!
