I have being home for some hours, trying to get comfy. You know I had to eat some real food! No place like home, that saying is so true. I have one of my major headaches I been trying to shake since I got home. Laying in dark dont work, or trying sleep it off. Had to take it up a notch with the big guns (medication). Im praying for days I dont have to take so much medication, and days of less pain. Some days I hate to move because hurts that much.

I cant thank ya’ll enough for the prayers. It was rough. So many wonderful peoples praying I didnt need 2 units of blood,no side effect from the blood I receive. I use to have 3 antibodies,now I have more,so its harder to find my blood! God Bless Each And Everyone Of You

Pain

Posted on by poeticjourney

In my body
Here & there
From head & toe
One minute its
Gone & Hello
Its back
Tears of pain
Needles, doctors
Nurses
So much pain
Someone dying in the
Room next door
A young lady giving birth
On the second floor
Tears of joy
So much pain
Around me

I.V

Posted on by poeticjourney

IV has become
My friend
Right along with
Fluids, pain medication
While
Getting stuck every
So often!
The
Beeping from I.V
Wakes me from
Deep sleep!
Nurses coming and going
I.V
Stuck to me like Chuck
Where I go, it follows
