Surgery Update

Posted on 20 Oct 201320 Oct 2013 by poeticjourney

Hello Everyone,

So thankful for all the prayers and comments truly touch my heart! I’m home, actually came home yesterday! It wasn’t as bad as I thought, my God knew I could handle it all! I read the comments but couldn’t respond and.still can’t! Everyone saying I’m doing good on the walking! It maybe with walker for now! But to hear nurses say how good I am when other people are struggling that been using them longer then me. I had a good team working with me. I had a little rough time! Fever after surgery, they couldn’t find out where it was coming from. My blood count held its own before and after surgery! Then well it fell and came back up and did it all over again. I had a great group of nurses on my team as well! Some I felt probably in wrong career because she just forgot a lot of stuff! Lol Talk about that another time! Time for me to crash, hope.share more soon.God Bless

A person who hasn’t had transfusion since April, but last two times I was hospitalized and got low as 5, couldn’t have transfusion no matter what do to having to many! Oh yea I was disappointed I couldn’t use my port to have the exchange! You all know how much I love and thankful to have it! Had take a class to prepare me for the outcome on the 14!

Reality

Posted on 21 Sep 201330 Sep 2013 by poeticjourney

I done cried my last cry
I often wonder how often you think of me
Do i cross your mind Anytime?
I’m having my shoulda, coulda, woulda moment
But i’m taking u turn
Back at one
And seen just how much i wasn’t appreciated
I shoulda protected my heart ,
I woulda be the one for you,
I coulda been your backbone when you was down and out
I cant take this craziness
Im torn because every time i thought i was through door
Im slap with the reality
That love have no chance here
I had that crazy love
And all i wanted was you to Let me Love you
The way you deserved
I use Find Myself In You
The way you made me feel
Every time you call you brought joy to me
You used to be my number one man
Where did we go wrong?

Dedicated to love journey! So do enjoy and let me know what you all think.

Not sure if title just yet! So do bare with me! Also believe its not quite done!

I love me some Brian Mcknight, and so do the other person who inspired me to write the finally chapter of us.. some things just can’t be left unsaid, my heart wouldn’t let me. To move on with the new person, I need to let my past be done and to close the chapter for good. I’m pretty sure I got more poems to add, but this is the ending of something that wasn’t meant to be, and move on to something and someone amazing.

Update (Good Report)

Posted on 4 Sep 20134 Sep 2013 by poeticjourney

Good Morning, I pray everyone is having a Bless Day. I got the call yesterday that I been waiting for. My labs came back good from last Thursday. I’m so happy and not surprise, because i already know. I love how God works things out for me. I have to stay on the meds for twenty more days before I can actually stop taking, not happy about that, but happy the doses drop. My headaches have got worse since taking the meds. Once I’m off, I can start getting ready and plan for my surgery. Hopefully end of the month are beginning of next month. I do have another doctor appointment tomorrow, with blood doctor. Praying that one goes well as well. I want to hear your blood count is high 7 or 8! Okay maybe not 8, but I can hope right? Well wanted to share that little news with you all. God is good and able all the time. God Bless 🙂

So thankful for all the prayers from each and everyone of you. Many Blessings

My heart has been unlock

Posted on 29 Aug 201330 Sep 2013 by poeticjourney

You amaze me, in more ways then one, i was broken and the way you showed me compassion i haven’t seen in long time. I tried so many times to not have feelings, your smart mouth pull me and won me over…
You was gentlemen, you made me smile and help me to heal and move on. I love the fact you have a relationship with God, such a beautiful thing for a loving soul. Don’t get it twisted we will have our moments and trash talk one another. But long as you know my heart and how im feeling
I can chill with keeping it to myself. I usually just let it pass me, but i believe you are one of a kind and hate to miss my opportunity,
To such a loving soul. When God made you he truly design you to do wonders. I believe im digging you more then i want to admit.

Update ( doctor appointment)

Posted on 29 Aug 201329 Aug 2013 by poeticjourney

I’m still not feeling my best, but as of right now waiting on my blood work, so we can get things moving. My doctor appointment with primary doctor went very well to extent, I was glad to get off some medicine. And also got new poison to help me as we’ll. My headaches are getting worse, so we had to do something to help the process. I have been putting off doing update post for awhile, but with my hectic school schedule and days I’m not at my best, I wanted to share what I can. I know last year was worse then this year, the last two sickle cell episode took me back when I was younger and wouldn’t go to hospital. I haven’t had pain like that in long time, bring tears to my eyes, and no matter what they medicate me with me it wouldn’t work. I know I shared a post awhile back, I’m not been able to get transfuse, cause of warm antibiotics. I pray if it got lower then 5, they would transfuse even if it didn’t do much. Yes, I really had no reason to share post last time i was hospitalize since I know its a give or take, but I know God got me even when the doctors wanting to give me blood and I kept denied it. My blood count came up fast this time in the 8″s. I’m praying when I see my blood doctor next week it still be decent enough. I’m not going give up, I do get discourage at times, but im Bless with so many loving souls. God truly knew what he was doing when he created me , and when he place me here on WordPress to share my story. Thank you all for joining me and praying. I hope to have more share next week. God Bless 😉

No matter what you going through, never give up! Continue to fight and hold on to God hands!

Day 4-5 Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

Posted on 9 Aug 2013 by poeticjourney

Hey and Welcome to my World, I’m still in hospital and hopefully I get to come home tomorrow. I should know something in due time. I still can’t have transfusions, but it seem the meds they have me on is finally working and that makes me happy! I have been on some new meds since May, and ready to get off it. I’m actually on a lot of new meds, but this meds I really ready to get off because it’s interfering with some of my other meds, that I need on everything basic. Sighs. It feels good to finally get some sleep, I believe I’m still tired, but I’m actually on my last week of studies, and I need to try to catch up before the week is over with. So much to do in so little time. I have had some great nurses, had one rude nurse name Mary. Makes me wonder how she got a job to be Nurse Assistant, if all she does is complain, I would hate for her to be nurse, and she says she going back to school for it. Well, I hope peeps run the other way and don’t look back, I’m just saying. My bestie mom finally came home from the hospital the other day, and she is doing much better, but got heartbroken phone call, that she is not her self, she lost some of her memory. I spoke with her a few days ago, she knows who I am. It breaks my heart when strong woman a God is struggling the way she is. It’s truly breaking her daughter heart, because she want to take care of her mom and not rehab place. Doctor just told me not to long ago that my retic count has come up, I’m hoping to hear my blood count has come up as well. I’m praying for some good news. Looks like my head is everywhere with this post, please do forgive me. I have a lot going on with me at this time. Thank you all for the prayers, truly means a lot to me. I pray all is well with each and every one of you. God Bless 🙂
