Doctor Appoitnment (Update)

Posted on by poeticjourney

Good Morning,

 

 

I know I was supposed to do this a few days ago, I have been busy trying to get the last-minute studying in, and have to be honest I had my head in a good novel, that I couldn’t put down! 🙂 So I’m a book-worm, feels good to be able to read some more like I use 2. It actually went well, it was basically a check up since I got out the hospital. I really havent been feeling my best, so that was another reason to go as well. My blood count is still in the 7’s, I must admit it’s not the best but I’m so thankful it’s not a 6. I probably would be back in the hospital, which I must say it feels like my home away from home lately. Thats sad to say, I know. But if you new on my JOURNEY, YOu don’t know I have been in the hospital every month since September, I believe I have had a transfusion, ever since then as well. I have to say trying not to worry since I haven’t been feeling my best. I have to put it all on GOD hand.  Oh yea I do have new primary doctor, I know I mention that back awhile. If you wondering if my old doctor gave the okay and sent my referral heck no, he even call me while I was in the hospital to ask if it was true that I wanted to change primary doctor. I said yes.  It was actually his wife and she had the nerves to have attitude. Even the doctor I have now, even call him to get it and still nothing, or you surprise? You know it took a long time to get him to fax the information over to see the sickle-cell specialist. But last month I took the time to call my insurance to change the doctor, so it kicks in next month.

My Love Journey P. 14

Hello and Welcome to My Love Journey, if you new make sure to check the other post out with the same title just different number.

 

I know its been awhile since I posted in My Love Journey, but have been inspired to do a few post, so let’s get started. Before I got sick last month, I spent an evening with the ladies. We had a good time, but I truly knew I would’ve been home getting some rest. Anyways, so had talk with a close friend about can we have 2 much standard when it comes to dating? Some of you probably think, PJ that’s not possible. But sometimes we have high standards and when that person come close to been that Mr/Mrs.. Right, that one flaw just throw us all off and change our mind about them. I’m not saying we should settle for less, because that’s just not right in my book and it shouldn’t be right in your book either. I know no one who  is perfect, but only GOD! I have flaws, and heck I love my flaws. So Back to the question at hand, do you believe we can  have 2 much standards when it come to dating? And if so or not, do feel me in on your thoughts.

I love to hear from my fellow followers, so do share your opinion/thoughts on this situation. I surely can’t wait to hear from ya’ll. If I have forgotten something, I make sure to comment to your question

Day 8, Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

Posted on by poeticjourney

I believe I start this post with some good news before I start it with negative news for my dear followers. I got the good news to come home today. I find out just how sick I truly was. I knew I was sick when I find out about my blood count was 6.9 then drop to 6 the same night. I find out had fluid in my lungs and that I had touch of pneumonia. I’m still not happy about my blood count, not as high as I would like it to be, but I’m praying it be just fine before my check ups in a few weeks. I think its in a few weeks. So much on my mind. Everythingelse look good, so it was good for me to go home. Blood count was going up, it was 7.8, and I was praying and hoping it would be 8. something, but it ended up dropping to 7.6. My doctor had the weekend off, but find out Monday that he was looking over my chart and x-ray from home. Now that a man that’s dedicated to his job and patients. I wasn’t crazy about the doctor that step in for him over the weekend, he didn’t say much like my doctor does. He explains everything.  I don’t want to make this post long.  I wonder since I got so sick so soon, that much mean the month of MAY is going to be good month. I say good month because its my BIRTHDAY! A few years I be tapping 30! WOW! Is all I can say.I’m so touch and thankful for all my followers that have been with me for the long run and the new one’s I have met on the way. I haven’t forgotten about you all, it’s just my health and school has been keeping me busy and haven’t got the chance to visit and comment like I would love.  You all have been a BLESSING to me on MY JOURNEY! I do hope all is well with each and every one of you! Sending many BLESSINGS TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU! God Bless 🙂

 

GOD HAS TRULY BEEN GOOD TO ME, HE NEVER LEFT MY SIDE, EVEN WHEN I WANTED TO THROW IN THE TOWEL! THANK GOD FOR HIS LOVE & MERCY

 

I have slip on been more of ADVOCATE for my illness, I hope soon as I get done with this semester I be better at bringing more awareness to Sickle Cell Anemia!

Day 4-7, Living With Sickle Cell Disease

Posted on by poeticjourney

I do hope everyone had a good weekend and Easter. JESUS IS THE REASON. I’m still in the hospital, I haven’t got the okay to go home, so hoping to get it in the morning. Thank You all for the prayers and kind words of encouragement. The last time I posted about the hospital I receive 1 unit of blood, it was touch and go for a while because my count didnt wont to go up. I was so happy to hear it went up, but still low. I’m hoping it be 8 by the morning. I guess when they come around in the morning and wake me out my sleep I shall find out. Everything still not top-notch, but I’m alive and that all that matter. I was really shock that I got sick so soon and had to get transfusion when I just got one a few weeks ago. I was at the point of throwing in the towel, because I was just tired of hearing my blood count was low and like it wasn’t going to go anywhere. I must say I actually enjoying all the rest I’m getting, gave me time to catch up on homework when I had the strength to go there. 🙂 I have had some good nurses while I’m here so that always a plus. Have met some new one’s as well, and met some ole one’s I met long time ago. I’m not in much pain as I was when I came in, just a little every now and then.  I hope I didn’t leave anything out. I must say Im so thankful to have my port, because I know I wouldnt be able to handle getting poke and stuck when it came to getting blood work done! God Bless Each & Everyone Of You 🙂

I have being in hospital ever since Monday, I haven’t been feeling my best since the weekend and the pain got worse. I actually had doctor appointment Tuesday and was going to wait it out, but since I couldn’t get in touch with my ole primary doctor so I can get referral to go to my new one. I decided to cancel and go to E.R. Lets just say my lab came back fast because it was consider critical low. I’m not feeling my best still. I have to get transfusion. It actually was 6.9 when I arrive then that night it drop. Its taking longer this time for my blood, as you all know its hard to find my blood type. I haven’t been feeling my best, but decided to go head and share with each and every one of you. I’m so touch by all your comments and prayers. I do have some great nurses and doctors, that taking good care of me. I’ll try to keep you all updated from here on out. I do hope everyone is doing good. God Bless 🙂

Living With Sickle Cell Anemia(Update)

Posted on by poeticjourney

I don’t plan on making this long post, since I’m still not feeling my best. I know while I was in hospital I left off at Day 4. Lets just say things weren’t looking good for a while, but I was BLESS with a good doctor while I was int here. I know I had left off with telling you all I had bronchitis, but he was worry about  me getting acute chest syndrome, which I got back in 06 and lets just say it wasn’t looking good for me back then. It’s safe to say I didn’t get it. 🙂 My blood count went up to to 10 but it actually was 9.6 since for some odd reason I was dehydrated so it gave a false reading the first time. I can honestly say it still is 9.5. I actually got 2 units of blood my hospital stay.

 

 

 

Oh yea, they actually did fax my paperwork over to sickle-cell clinic finally but only prove me for 3 visits. Hmm, what can they find out in only 3 visits? So I’m just waiting for call from the sickle-cell clinic so we can get that rolling. Wow, took long enough right? I actually have change my primary doctor since I been home as well. I need one that can actually come see me when I’m actually in the hospital. Once again I’m so thankful, touch, for the prayers you all been sending my way. Your kind comments kept my spirits uplifted. I Pray All Is Well! God Bless 🙂

Hello, and welcome to day 4. I’m still in the hospital, yesterday was actually a long day. I ended up gettng my tranfusion lastnight and didnt get finish to about two somethng this morning. As of right now my blood count is looking good, but its showing I’m dehydrated still so thats probably why  I’m still hurting some. Had to get some x-rays this morning, seem I have touch of bronchitis, I don’t know how I got it.  The doctor believe its the reason why I’m in the hospital because of it. I don’t know why its so hard for people to cover up there mouth when they cough. I’m so thankful for all the prayers, kind words you all have left me. God has truly BLESS me with some kind nurses and doctors. I’m not much with words tonight. I shall keep you all updated and make the next post longer. Till next time.. God Bless 🙂

I’m so touch and thankful for all of y’all kind words and prayers, it does mean a lot to me. I shall keep you all updated as much as possible, I’ll be getting two units of blood for sure now.

Day 2, Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

Posted on by poeticjourney

I like to thank everyone for there kind words and prayers, I haven’t got to all my comments just yet, but have read them all. Truly touch my heart to hear you all praying for me. Early this morning got news I need to have tranfusion, my blood count has drop to 7.0! I’m not happy about it dropping because I believe it could’ve been prevented ahead of time. Before I came to hospital yesterday I receive some upsetting news, that my paperwork hasn’t been fax so I can see sickle cell doctor. Everytime I call and my blood doctor call they said they was faxing it over right then. We shall see how that goes. Its going to take awhile before they find my blood, so I have been told and I have been through this so many times in the past. Hopefully so many peeps done went out to donate blood 🙂 I do have a nice nurse today, the other nurse went home before she wasn’t feeling her best. Just waiting to see the doctor to see what he have to say. Thats all I have to share with you all for now. I shall keep you posted.
