I had to have exchange to bring my blood count up so I’ve good to go pretty much! I believe 7.7 was good enough for me! 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! I’m hoping to get my term done this week and much needed rest. If I’m quiet you all know why! So do bare with me, and hope all is well with each and everyone of you! God Bless

Oh yea I got 5 units of blood, which brought my count 10! Hmm that special IV in my groin just bring my count upto 10! Yes, I’m feeling a little sarcastic about the matter! I did.have a good surgeon! So yeah

Update (Good Report)

Posted on 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

Day 4-5 Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

Posted on by poeticjourney

thumbnailSCDHey 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 🙂

Living With Sickle Cell Anemia…

Posted on by poeticjourney

thumbnailSCDHey Everyone, And welcome to my world, basically a update from my two checkups. Not good updates, but hey I’m still alive, so I can’t complain. Right now Im waiting on phone call, on my blood work, lets just say I wasn’t happy about gettting stuck by a person who didnt know what they was doing. Bad enough my doctor was on vocation and I had lady who didnt know what she was talking about, so ummm she didnt order all the blood work I need’d. So I got a feeling when I do get a call, Its not going to be a good one. Makes you wonder why give me a appointment when the person I need to see when they on vocation? I don’t believe she like my attitude much, if you come in talking like you know everything I had while I was in hospital.. You already on my bad side. Sighs…

 

Primary doctor update didn’t go so well either, I had to wait awhile just to be seen… Add’d more poison to the list, for me to take. Since everything I eat, makes me feel uneasy, now I have ear infection on top of that. Im debating on taking more meds. My headaches have gotten worser, and trying to go to school with them is no joke. I dont want my meds up, because I would sleep all day,and I do enough sleeping as it is due to my health. So I believe I didn’t forget anything, if so I share in another post when I have another doctor appointment next month.

Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

Posted on by poeticjourney

thumbnailSCDHello Everyone,  I’m finally home, been home for a few days now, spending time with my love one’s. Getting much rest as possible. I must admit I’m so glad to be home, so can’t wait to be feeling my best. I usually would have this post up already, but still not 100 percent. I’m hoping sometime this week to know if my blood count has went up some more. Before I left it was still in the 5’s and we all know that’s not good. I must be honest with you all. Only Lauren knows whats going on with me. Right now I’m not doing good. I was supposed to have surgery on my birthday to have hip replacement, due to my illness. But that’s when I find out I had warm antibodies in me, because I done had so many transfusions, that’s why I can’t have anymore right now. I have been on the meds for over a month,and there not doing anything for me. I’m getting a lil discouraged, I must admit that to you all. I have been at my lowest last week and wanted to throw in the towel. I don’t know if it’s because I was just tired because of my health, and everything just wasn’t going my way or just cause the devil was just trying to get the bet of me. I believe it was a little of both. I’m not thinking that anymore. I know God isn’t finish with me yet, I’m here for a reason, so I need to continue to hold on and continue to fight to he calls me home to be with him. I’m so touch and feel so much love by all of your comments and prayers, it truly meant so much to me. I got to many visits from family and love one’s and calls from my best friend and TN, y’all thank you for praying for her mom her who had a stroke, she is doing so good. She has been there for me and so has her brother. They  have been keeping me laughing and if I couldn’t sleep staying up with me, and just praying for me. I couldn’t ask for two great group of lovely souls than them two. God knew what he was doing, he knew I couldn’t have that surgery for a reason on 5.21.13, I had to overcome this obstacle last week, and I can’t wait to im fully over it. I can’t wait to I can share more with you all. I need my rest and to stay on top of my studies, you all know how much I hate to be behind on my studies. God is truly good. I want to say thank you again. Thank you for joining my JOURNEY, and been part of my blogging family. I pray all is well with each and every one of you. God Bless. Sending love and hugs to each and every one of you. God Bless 🙂

Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

Posted on by poeticjourney

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.

Doctor Appointment (update)

Posted on by poeticjourney

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!
