Hey and welcome to my world. I must say I’m not home yet, which I had got my hopes up on going home. I’m praying for tomorrow.  Still in some  pain, but not as bad as when I got admitted. So thankful for all the comments and prayers, truly touch my heart:) blood count came back up on its own, and guess what dropping slowly but surely. I have to be put back on steroids,  and nope not happy about it. If I don’t take them it could do more harm then anything,  but honestly I believe it make me sick at same time. I hope I can get some rest in a few.  I believe I shall wrap it up and try get comfortable.  I  have had some good nurses dis time around,  which is a plus. I hope all is well with each and everyone of you all.  God Bless

Hey Welcome to my World!  I Had to make a trip to hospital. Monday I came and got fluids and meds,  find out I was dehydrated.  I take it Tuesday must got the best out of me. Rain isn’t good for me. I woke up Wednesday morning in pain from head to toe. You can only imagine how I was feeling at the time. I hate coming to E.R you always got to wait forever and a day. Doesn’t matter how early you come in. I had bad experience Monday when I came in. The guy half did his job, and four people that got here after I did. I’m wondering wdh going on.

My count is dropping slowly.I’m still in pain, but not as bad as it was when I came in Wednesday. Be a lovely thing if I had no pain whatsoever.  What dis cruel world coming to. 8 year ole find dead in ditch with nothing on. So many people trying come to terms with such heartbreaking news.  Praying for the family. Well believe I cut it short, pain and sleep. I pray all is well with you all. God Bless

Its been awhile since I been able to post and just enjoy blogging.  So since September come in, I have been loving the fact its my month to bring awareness about sickle cell. I’m on Facebook a lot and in many groups dealing with my illness. Seems so many our the warriors have died. I had got to the point of why am I fighting when we get treated so poorly when we go to er. That be another post for another time. I hope to share some stuff through the month about some of the things  and so many other go through.  My doctor appoint on Tuesday went very well, my blood count is highest it ever been. I haven’t been transfuse since early June. Don’t even get me started on that hospital stay and how many times it took before they took me serious about my pain. Even though counts r good, can’t say the same about my headaches, they have got worse. Lets just say I’m taking more meds to get them in check. I’m trying to stay on top of them and not get ct scan. It could mean many things. Another post later down the road. I had eye appoint  last month, it went so so. they have to stay on top of them. I’m on eye drops  and have to wear glasses. I’m nearsighted big time Sorry to make the post so long, but its been awhile since I posted and wanted to do mini update.

 

 

I’m hoping to visit many blogs over the weekend.

blogHey Everyone, and welcome to my world.  I haven’t been feeling my best but been trying to do what I can, as of right now. I have made some visit to e.r since my doctor have been on vocation. lets just say them visits’ didn’t go so well. I got sent home every time feeling worse then before. First time I went, had rude nurse practiner… It took God him self for me to hold my peace and not lose it.  Next time to had cool doctor, he explain everything to me on dis visit. Since my blood count looks fine, didn’t see a reason to keep me. He also told me that I know ya’ll can have pain even if blood count looks fine and retic. He tried to do everything he could, but since obamacare everything seems to be difficult to do. Hmm always something. Must admit its getting crazy for me as a person with chronic pain, if meds at home not doing its job. Taking meds and drinking  plenty fluids (water). I guess it a roll into E.R on my death bed then I get treated the proper way. Other then that my plumbing problem is almost taking care of that’s why I’m posting from home. I’m dealing with my nagging headaches, so it’s making it harder for me to post and read like I want 2. So do bare with me. I hope everyone is enjoying there summer, I hate the summer, its hella hot.. And not good for me. Who wants to stay in the house all the time? Looks around not me…  I do pray all is well with each and everyone of you all. So thankful for all who have join my journey. I now I have been slipping big time. So do bare with me, I have been writing, I just need to type it all up so I can share it with  you all.

 

 

I haven’t did update on the lil one’s in awhile. They getting so big and tall. Lil lady is 6 now and Mr. Man is 4. School will be starting soon for lil lady and of course Mr. Man will be going back to Daycare. I must say so glad to be home to enjoy peace and quiet. Maybe my headache will stop. I’m praying it does.. They grow up so fast right? Lil lady have become so freaking sassy its driving me crazy. Nast lil attitude for someone so young. Ha, I think I maybe rubbing off on her with attitude part. Ha. Mr. Man have one as well, and his tantrum is grr… That’s all I’m saying. Nope I’m not missing them whatsoever on this point. On flip side, the MOM who had them finally came home from prison. I must say I haven’t change my mind about her. I need proof that she done change and want to be in her kids life. One visit from my lil lady, she done got worse. Attitude … I already not liking it, but hey I’m not finna stress myself about it.. Another quick way to put in hospital looking crazy… Believe that’s enough update for now…

Hey and Welcome to my world! I been here since Saturday night. I did get a chance to party with my lil lady. A few pictures was taking, but since I wasn’t at my best. I just wanted my love to enjoy herself. I did have a check up a week ago, it was just the results from labs and x ray! My count had drop and came back up on its own, so happy about it 🙂 One more day here and if everything still good, I’m going home on my b-day! I have some good nurses, doctors on my team. I’m counting down the day I wont have take meds every day. My chest x ray came back good, labs in a way they came back good, but still on the evil steroids.

thumbnailSCDHello and Welcome to my World. I done had two different check ups since I been home. I have one more towards the end of the month. I’m still working on changing primary doctors. I can’t say I’m surprise that the hospital I been going to don’t do business with some doctors here. I must say I met a lot of nurses that work with the hospital I used to go to and know my doctor very well. Like I told him since you wouldn’t admit me the first time, I had to go to another hospital. I refuse to be in pain, and you suppose to be my primary doctor. I’m still waiting  on my labs from last week and to see how my chest x-ray looks. Umm I did all this last Thursday, and still haven’t heard crap. I haven’t had my steroids since I got out of hospital last week. You would think he would let me know something. I done call office a few times. I saw my blood doctor today, and got good report. My blood count is good, still holding its on. I couldn’t be more happy. I’m dealing with headaches once again, seems like there getting worse every since I got sick last time. I’m praying I don’t see inside hospital for nothing, but I know that’s not going to happen. I went last week to get xray and stuck. I believe nurses hate to see me coming. I give them one chance to stick me, hello I have port, put it to use. But the last two different people from both check ups, did good.
