Fighting 2 Live

Fighting to live!
Today I could’ve died on operating table!
Its suppose to be joyous day
Getting older and wiser!
Fighting to Live!
My body is in for a fight!
I’m praying I make it
To it’s truly my time to leave this world!
Fighting to Live!
Today I turn 29!
And I could’ve took my last breath
I’m not complaining
I’m just going to take back my life and give it to God!
Happy Birthday 2 Me!
Fighting 2 Live

Living With Sickle Cell Anemia…

thumbnailSCDI’m so thankful for all the prayers and comments and even the likes, truly touch my heart. I had been sick for over a month,and trying to stay strong while in school, but got to the point I just couldn’t take it anymore. Ended up at the E.R Monday afternoon,let me tell you, that was the longest time I ever had to wait to be seen. If I was in the mood to  write a story on E.R, that would be one of them, with so many lovely and not so lovely stories to share with you all around the world. Lets just say, I didn’t get seen to about 7:30 that night, yep you read correctly and yes I type correctly. I was not a happy person, let me tell you. I got admitted but didn’t get put on the floor to the next morning. I was blessed with kind doctor and lovely nurses, and some cute male nurses if I do say so myself 🙂 I had transfusion, only one unit, which I’m thankful for. My doctor is smart now, he starts ahead of time to look for my blood. Whew, because you know I be still in their waiting, so im home, with the love one’s. I really wasn’t in the mood to post from hospital. I basically just got some rest, because I havent been sleeping since I havent been feeling good. I was my first hospital stay since the new year, so that’s truly a Blessings. If you was with me last year, you know how much that means to me and where I’m coming from. Right now, I’m doing some catch up with my studies, so hopefully soon as I’m caught up or when the term is over I can give blogging some more of my attention. I have read all the comments, just haven’t had time to approve them. I can honestly say my hemoglobin was good before I got put in but my retic count wasn’t because I was in so much pain, it end up dropping and he though I would need 2 units of blood. I know I’m everywhere with this post, sorry about that. I try to do another one real soon to keep you all updated. I do have doctor appointed in a few days, to see how everything going on. I pray all is well with each and every one of you. God Bless 🙂

Day 2, Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

Hello Everyone,

 

I actually got my transfusion late lastnight, I was surprise my blood pop up that fast to be honest. My doctor and nurses was surprise as well.  I haven’t heard from my doctor today, waiting to hear from him, so I can know when I get to go home. They move me to the second floor, and I’m so not happy about it. 😦 I like been on the bottom floor to be honest. The nurses don’t take as long to get to you. I had to get some x-rays done, was suppose to get them done lastnight before I got my transfusion, but lets just say I fell asleep twice and they was no show. So we move on to the blood and got it started. I have to get meds before I can get blood. I had some great nurses lastnight and this morning, and now I have new nurses and I don’t know how I feel about it all since Im not on the floor I have come use to. I have a feeling I be home before Christmas. I’m still in some pain, I hope to be feeling no pain, real soon. I hope to enjoy my little break from school while on it recovering. Thanks for all the prayers and comments, truly means a lot to me. I don’t know whats going on with my phone, I been trying to post from my phone and can’t do it. I actually receive some more heartbreaking news while in the hospital. My family have lost anther love one, its sad to hear someone lose another child, but I know they in a better place. Please do keep them in your prayers over the holidays. God Bless 🙂

Day 1, Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

Hello Everyone,

 

I’m in the hospital, I have been here since yesterday afternoon. I started feeling bad Tuesday. I felt my legs going out on me while I was out grocery shopping, but I just shook it off. SO yesterday, I started feeling bad and decided to come to E.R. Honestly  I didn’t think I would get put in the hospital, I was trying to hold out to January  to be honest. I’m in need of transfusion, I have to get 2 units as of right now. I never been in hospital over Christmas Holidays, so if I’m still here, this be the first time. I done had some great nurse, who I done had before. Well really don’t have much to say as of right now, hope to have more to say in next post. I hope everyone have a good Christmas, and Happy Holidays! God Bless 🙂

Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

Hello Everyone, I bn trying to post from my cell for awhile and bn having problems. Glad to see I can finally post from it today. I end’d up had to get a transfusion today, but I was out-patient this time around. I havent bn feeling my best, so he didn’t like that my blood count was in the 7’s, this coming from my blood doctor. I have so many doctors to keep up with. I’m on a break from my studies to Wednesday, with new classes, which of course I’m so glad about. I was so tired of the math it was kicking my butt.  I’m glad it’s not hot anymore, and thankful for the cooler weather, just not the cold weather. I do hope everyone else is doing good. I pray everyone is recovering from Sandy, and my heart goes out to you all. I hope and pray you all make it through the other storm which is a cold one coming your way. I hope to make it back to blogging soon, right now I’m taking a break to im fully 100%, I do miss blogging and reading your posts. Well I do read, I just don’t get to comment or like. I haven’t forgotten you all. I’m thankful for all the likes and prayers and comments and followers, thank you very much. Hope you enjoy my journey. God Bless Each & Everyone Of You:)

 

Forgot to really mention how the transfusion went, I only had to get unit. That all I got for now.

Will be short post, haven’t bn feeling my best for three weeks now! Trying to stay on top of my studies, and praying not to get sick. I truly hate this time of the year, not good for my body. Actually made doctor appointment today for my headaches, they have got worse making it hard to focus. I’m in crisis as of now, but blood count is holding its own. Honestly if I tend to be in pain I may have to do some hospital time. Its taking a lot out if me to do the post, so ill end it here and pray all is well! God Bless:)

Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

Its been awhile since I have blog about my illness, I have actually being doing good since  last week, I was in pain and was trying to handle it so I could take my finals, but ended up going to the E.R Monday. Something told me I wasn’t going to be able to hold out that long, but I was planning on trying and almost made it. The trip to the E.R went good, everything came back good, so I didn’t have to get put in the hospital and that’s always good news to hear 🙂  I actually had made doctor appointment for thursday and had to cancel that appointment since my finals got reschedule for that date.  I ended up seen my doctor the next day and of course put on more meds, I must say I’m starting to hate taking pills. Pills to prevent me from getting sick, pills to help with the pain, so I don’t have to go in the hospital or doctor. I must say I have being to E.R since June so thats good, haven’t being put in the hospital since June as well. I’m praying this good year for me. I need a good year, when it comes to school and my health. I know a lot of you all have been with me through all this, so you all understand where I’m coming from. I have a few days off, I start my new classes next week, and I must say I think I’m ready!  This month is SICKLE CELL AWARENESS MONTH. I actually had good experience this time around, I wonder did I have a good experience with the nurses and doctors, because I haven’t being in for a while. It does makes me wonder. One of the nurses I’m use to was letting me know she’ll be leaving the hospital and taking on another career, something she be doing for over 20 years. She is pretty much the main nurses that know how to access my port, because some nurses just don’t know what they doing. All the good one’s have to leave. WHY? If you know someone, or you yourself have trait or the disease, go out and support the cause. ITS TIME TO GET MORE AWARENESS FOR SICKLE CELL DISEASE.

Doctor Appointment (update)

I had doctor appointment on Wednesday since I got since I got some lab work done!  I must say that I’m thankful for the prayers because I receive some good news back! Only one thing was low,but so what long as it wasn’t a 21, that’s when they and I have to worry! I believe I do the most worrying! I actually did some Tuesday when the nurse took to long! Makes you wonder what I have port for if they move slow as tropical Issac that’s coming my way may be! I provably should had said coming to U. S right? I can’t tell you what’s more stressful doctor visits or math problems?  I hate math as much as the doctor office!  Lol! Oh yea back to the nurse taking her time, you would think hospitals have ton of them that know how to access port right?  NO! WELL enough on my update, be on the lookout in a few weeks! I so wish I had twin to step in my place, I hate needles, any takers? Just playing I’m just thankful for who all go out and give blood for me and so many others in need! God Bless & Goodnight!
