Living With Sickle Cell Anemia
It have been awhile since I mention my illness,to it surprise me last week and broke my spirit at same time. But I know God is all I need.It started with me getting nasty cold, which turn out be bronchitis with lil pneumonia! Im like serious on bronchitis, just went through it the month before.I couldn’t hardly move,so that was my notice to make my way to evil place! God Bless me with some good nurses and doctor while in ER! I did have a long wait, which my poor body hated, and germs spread! You would think peep would cover mouth,but nope! As you all know, im finally home since MondAy afternoon! Lets just say,my body is in for a fight of my life again. I rather not go into detail. If I refuse to take my meds, im killing myself!But come on, all meds have bad sides of them! I almost went back to hospital Tuesday, I was in so much pain! Hurt move,talk, think, cry! God gave me strength to fight without the hospital! Im still in some pain, but not as bad as early in the week! Good weather, and I cant enjoy it:( I have update doctor appointment next week, plus to get recheck on labs and xray really? Labs understabdable, but umm u sent me home saying things look better! No smart comment at the moment! Turn out I needed antiobodies, which wasn’t mention to me before you discharge me! Thinking I need a new primary doctor! Im lil lazy to do the searching right now, but dont feed me bs and then have to eat your words later 🙂 All the prayers,comments touch my heart in so many ways. I cant have transfusions, to everything is cleared. I left hospital at 7.2! Another rough journey, im praying ill make it through once again. Makes you wonder how some people become doctors when you educationing them. I did have two big idiots as doctors.

Hello World, thank you for prayers and comments. Meant so much to me. I had rough weekend, idiot doctor who didnt know crap. Bless with many wonderful nurses, who showed me so much compassion. My count came up and then drop. I did come home, but I shouldn’t have as today im in more pain today then before. Im trying stay strong and not move around much, it makes me hurt even more. I cant have transfusions, im back on steroids! Told my doctor I wasn’t going take them, but im doom even more if I dont. Ooo lucky me stuck with more poison to take. Idk how to deal, when my body wants best of me and im getting discouraged! I know God have last say so! Idk how much fight I have in me. I pray all is well with each and everyone of you! God Bless
Day 1-3, Living With Sickle Cell Anemia
Hey and welcome to my world. I have been in pain for a few days. Im In hospital, and hoping to go home soon. I know it won’t be with good news. Its been awhile since I been In hospital, and transfusions. Right now my test came back to hurt my heart. I have a good doctor and some good nurses, had a problem with her lastnight. I have port for a reason and I don’t like when people try and bs me, talking about they can’t draw from it. So I gave the tech one chance and she didn’t want to do it, cause she knew the nurse was lying. Blood count has drop, its in the 7s, but still good for men but would love to be in the 8s. I hope everyone is well. I do have a feeling I’m forgetting so something, but I do update when it comes to me. God Bless
Living With Sickle Cell Anemia
Today wasn’t a good day! My pain has got worse since last post. I went to primary doctor, honestly didn’t do me no good! He treated me either kidney problems or either I got ulcer. I can’t sleep at night as it is. My sickle cell nurse told me if it get worse to go to hospital and get admitted! My primary wasn’t getting my sickle cell problem, I wasn’t worry about the problems he talking about! If I stress it kick my illness in worse 10 time worser! I can’t move or use both my arms to extent! My left side still bugging me. My second week of new term started today. So as you all know that been with me. This isn’t looking to good with stress. I have appointment with blood doctor tomorrow and I’m not even feeling him right now cause of all the pain I’m in. You can’t stick me! Nor check my blood pressure at this point in time. Now if they can get blood from my port that’s what’s up! But I ain’t having the abuse right now. To the next post. God Bless 🙂

Living With Sickle Cell Anemia
Today isn’t a good day. I’m so not enjoying the weather. Taking one day at a time, is easy said then done, when your body is screaming pain every which way. The E.R did call and check up on me yesterday, asking if I was feeling better then then day before, I told them no. I’m trying hold out to Tuesday, since I see my blood doctor. I don’t know if I can do that right now. My labs may have came back good, but my body is telling me another story, I don’t know what more to say. I was glad I didn’t have a long wait Friday, only thing I didn’t like is the medicine they gave me. Seems my headaches are getting worse, migraine medicine not working anymore and I don’t want to up my doses to 100. Me and hospital seem to be at Whits in st the time been. My whole left back is either sore. I can’t lay on it, or touch it. I have pain shooting up. And my left arm is doing the most. Sighs… IMA love it when I have a day or even a week with of no pain. I’m on break to Wednesday, so thankful for that Blessing….
Physical therapy
Week three since of Monday just pass. Yay! As you all may know for the ones who read my late post last week, of my accident! Doesn’t look like I damage anything, which I’m very thankful of! I was very worry… thank you all for the prayers. I so don’t like this season or the next. I’m more concern with my sickle cell while recoverying. Having trouble doing squats. You never realize the lil things to you can’t do them anymore. I know its temporary thing for now. I’m pushing myself every week! And trust I crash out everytime I get home. Me and bed have such good relationship during the day then night. We working on bending my knee while walking, I think in back of my mind I’m scared ima fall. I still be happy with X-ray in a month. I have truly learn lesson to not do much and even tho not crazy about walker its not the enemy, it can prevent harm while recoverying… God Blessed till next time

I’m praying for a smooth rest of the year with my health! The X-ray came out good, and showed everything going smoothly 🙂 God is Good!
