Hey Everyone,

 

As you can see by the title I’m in hospital, been here every since Christmas Night. So glad I had the chance to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning with my love one’s. I was trying to make it to the end of the month. I was hoping it would pass.  I had to have transfusion today. Blood count had got low, I knew something was wrong since I been having headaches . Its a sign that your blood count can be low or I’m getting ready to go in a crisis. I do hope everyone of you all had a Lovely Christmas. Well better then mine:) I have some great nurses and doctors. So thankful for that to be honest. Last time I was sometime last month, and doctor wasn’t doing right by me. So I left the hospital, and lets just say I was in a lot of pain. I’m hoping to do right by myself dis time around. I’m hoping to go home tomorrow if everything come back looking normal. I’m still in some pain right now. Hoping the blood did some good for me. I try not to get blood, because one day when I’ll need it , it may not help me . Sighs. Well I had warm Christmas, seem the cold front is coming in. Guess its a good thing I’m in hospital now, to prevent all that. But its just cold in the evening time, so it shouldn’t be 2 bad. I’m going to wrap this post up, because I’m getting tired and restless. I haven’t been sleeping much for whatever reason. I always got some stuff on my mind. I know I have check up on the 4 to see how the meds is  doing. I hope good news, but I really haven’t been on them since I been in hospital. Only meds they giving me is my pain meds and not my every day meds.  I must say it truly means something  when you have  a great group of people taking care of you. I even have some nurses coming visit me since they always say I’m a good patient. Makes me feel good when they think that about me. I feel like I be getting on there nerves at times. But I have met some that have became friends.

Hello Everyone,

 

I hope everyone is well. I know its been awhile since I posted. I bn enjoying life and few hospital stays. But other then that all is well. Got heartbreaking news today, we lost a love one on my mother side right before the holidays. Always heartbreaking lose a love one, even more heartbreaking when its right before holidays. God doesn’t make any mistakes, that much I know.  I have decided to leave in a few months, I need get away. Part of me feel like I’m running away from certain things in my life, but part of me doesn’t. I need change in my life. I will come home and visit as much as possible. God work in mysterious ways. Im getting the opportunity to get my work publish, so Im excited about that. SO in the new year, I’ll be busy typing up old and new work and trying get everything that need be copyrighted.  I’ll try get back into blogging as much as possible. I have bn reading post and trying to like and comment. I have check up tomorrow with my sickle cell doctor. So I’m hoping for good news, since I haven’t been feeling my best lately. I pray everyone have a good Christmas and New Year. I shall post more or another post soon. God Bless:)

Hey All,

I know its been awhile since I posted. I hope all is well with each and everyone of you all. I have been in and out of hospital since last post. I have been writing poetry and starting some post and just stop them. I just haven’t had the energy to post and share with you all. I have been reading ya’ll work. I don’t like or comment all the time. I do miss each and everyone of you all. I’m not here to complain. I’m just here to check in. I was hoping to share a piece with you all but seem to have left my handy dandy notebook at home. I knew I was forgetting something once I step out the door dis morning. I should never leave home without my journal. I still try and write in my phone memo. But I love to write in a notebook/journal as much as possible. So I can have something to go back to as well. I have so many poems I haven’t even finish yet, that haven’t even made it to phone or even a pc or tablet. We seem to let technology take over, but we got to remember where we started when it come to writing. I love to see my thoughts on paper.. All my mistakes, my mark outs..  I have such a busy month, and worry about overdoing it. I have surprise bridal shower Friday coming up and I’m not feeling my best. Next weekend is the wedding reception and I have poem I’m going to read, and super excited about. And for the one’s that been with me from the beginning and know I’m a PK I have a few church events as well. My best friend from middle school is back in town since June and we been spending a lot of time together before she leaves next month for Cali. Fall has come and yes, I have a love and hate relationship with it.. OMG… right now here its beautiful, not to cold or to hot, its just right. First Friday in dis month I paid for the weather change on me and I was in for a few days. Shortest visit for me and must admit I was so excited to get out. I have been on the go a lot lately, trying to enjoy life.. I know a recent post I mention about was I truly living? and the answer was no.. I’m not talking about been crazy, I’m talking about stop making excuses due to my illness.  Right now with the weather going back and far… I’ll be marry to my home once more, just the way it should be :)…  Anyways going to end post here, I know I’m everywhere with dis post..

Thank for all the prayers, comments, likes, and joining my journey. I hope to be more active real soon. God Bless 🙂

I know it’s been awhile since I post. I bn going thru it dis summer.. some times I feel like I should give up, but my sense come back and reminds me. I’m here for a reason. God has last so even when we begging to be taking away. I got out Sunday and I’m pain again . I feel like my cold dawn got worse. Voice almost gone. I know when I left counts wasn’t the best, but I was ready.. if I known I wasn’t ready probably stay little longer.  Almost sickle cell awareness month, we have the bold lips for awareness.. wear your boldest lipstick and take pic and use hash tags. A few weeks when i got out,  had get my scripts . The woman behind counter ask me what sickle cell is, hate say I don’t like talking about it. I got get out of that mind frame n spread word. We lost another warrior a few nights ago. One day it’s going be me. I want to touch so many lives and do so much before I leave. I ask myself am I really living, part of me says I’m not. I’m hurting myself. I bn battling with my faith, illness.. I know God got me, no matter what. It just get so tiring when all u go thru is repeating itself.. hope that make sense, half asleep.. I pray all is well with each and everyone. God bless

Thank for riding with me…

Nope don’t get shot, haven’t had it since I was teen got shot n was bless with flu. When I’m out,  I carry Sanitizer n other stuff to help not catch nasty germs. That hospital said they didn’t keep flu patients, I was throwed by that. I had be tough n get shots,  so wasn’t please.  I was bless with port for a reason. I been in bed all weekend,  at doctor office. I start classes again, last year. When will it end, must say not happy See my doctor since didn’t catch it. Sighs. I hope to come back with another update soon, pain taking over,  hope I made sense. I pray you all is well n Ty for joining my journey. God Bless
