Another day in the hospital, I’m hoping to hear some good news tomorrow about going home. My blood count is still the same as yesterday. Hasn’t gone back up or down. I’m still a little concern that it drop so quickly. I still have some pain but not as bad as the pain I had when I came here. I’m hoping to receive some good news later tonight or early morning when they come do some lab work on me. I don’t really have much to post about. I have been in bed most of the bed. Little homesick, suppose you can say I miss the little one’s. I wasn’t there when my little lady went to daycare for the first time. I hope it went good for her, guess I find out tomorrow when I go home. I’m so thankful for all the prayers & encouraging words, truly means a lot to me. I see the shift is changing, with more new nurses tonight. I actually got to know the young lady last night, she is a few years younger than me who recently just move from here. I thought she didn’t talk.but she was just worry about bothering me and making sure I got plenty of rest.

Day 6, Living With Sickle Cell Anemia
Good Morning, Another Lovely Day and still stuck in the hospital. As of right now, I don’t know when I’m going home. I haven’t seen the doctor today or yesterday. I thought I would have a doctor that would be on call for the doctor I had during the week. I suppose I was wrong. I had to change rooms yesterday. I have a bigger room, which I’m loving I must admit. I had some more old nurses. I find out this morning, little lady doesn’t want to talk to me she wants to come and see me. I hope that explains why she hasn’t been taking my calls. Oh yea I was regretting moving to the room I have because of the person next door. I believe she is older woman. She keeps crying out help her help her. I didn’t know what was going on with her. I do have some nice nurses, so thats good. I do hope to receive some good news tomorrow when I do see my doctor. I hope my blood count be still on point since the last time it got check was two days ago. This time around I haven’t really have the strength to post or comment. I know once I’m out the hospital I have a lot of reading to catch up on. Well just saw the doctor, will be getting some blood work done to see how my blood looking. I hope to share some good news on the next post with you all. For some odd reason, my blood pressure isn’t looking good for me. It has been very low . I’m still having some pain, so still have to ask for pain medicine so I can get some sleep. If you wondering how long I been working on this post, let me tell you all freaking day! lol! I just got some sad news 😦 my count his drop some and I hope it doesn’t drop any tonight. It hasn’t drop enough to get enough unit but its not 9 anymore. I don’t know how I feel about all this. I believe I’ll get me some rest, since I’m not feeling my best. I do hope each and everyone of you is having a Bless Sunday! God Bless 🙂
P.S Thank you all for your prayers and kind words, truly means a lot to me! God Bless 🙂
Day 5,Living With Sickle Cell Anemia
Good Afternoon, Had rough night! I’m getting use to the port, actually started using it yesterday. So happy that I don’t have to get stuck anymore! YAY! Had accident with one of the nurses last night, I thought I had lost my pc. She knock my poor baby off the table and hit the hard floor. So happy she didn’t break because she not even two months ole yet. The nurse was like I’m not worry about buying you another one, I can do that. I just don’t want you losing your school work. So I receive a unit of blood last night, because they were worry about it dropping some more. I don’t know when I’m going home just yet. I’m still having some pain, which isn’t a good thing. 🙂 I did receive good news my count went up with the one unit. I was worry that it wouldn’t go up much since last time it didn’t move much. Sad to say little lady still not taking my calls. I don’t know how I feel about that. I don’t know if she think I turn my back on her and not coming back or she just holding a grudge on me. I can’t wait to get home so I can have a serious talking with her. I enjoyed hearing my little man try to talk while on the phone. More like whine because his uncle took his fork from him. I can’t believe I’m missing them this much. 😦 I know I say I’m thankful all the time for all the encouraging words and prayers from you all. It truly does mean a lot to me. I shall keep you all updated on when I go home and whatnot. I know I’m off to the end of the month with school. I must admit I’m excited about that. God Bless 🙂

I’m still here in the hospital 😦 I had a rough night last night, and my blood count drop. Sighs! It was 6.9 this morning, they want to make sure its one thing or another before they give me transfusion. I wasn’t happy to hear it drop again. I was hoping to have more good news to share with y’all today. I guess I will try to tempt some make up homework and get it in sometime today. I have been putting it off long enough. I’m ready to go home so I can have some real food. as you can see I don’t have much to talk about today. I do have some wonderful nurses today. 🙂 YAY! I hope each and every one of you have a Bless Friday! God Bless 🙂

I haven’t had the chance to make it to my comments so do bare with me. I’m not ignoring you. I have a nice nurse tonight, his name is Alex. His a funny guy 🙂 I was so glad to have something to drink, I can’t even tell you what all I had to drink. Of course I was excited about eating as well. I finish my subway sandwich it was good. I’m so thankful for all your prayers and comments. They truly mean a lot to me. Oh yea a little good news is I find out a few hours ago my blood count is going back up! YAY! still low but not low as it was the other day. Something tells me I’m forgetting something, if that the case I make sure to mention it tomorrow lord will.

I got to meet the doctor earlier today before it came down to have the surgery, such a nice man. And plenty of nice nurses as well. 🙂
Day 2,Living With Sickle Cell Anemia
Good Morning, I had rough night last night dealing with my I.V, had to get a new one. I would get a rude nurse this morning to put it in. I told her to take it out and she ask a stupid question WHY? or you freaking kidding me. Obviously it hurt. I had to but my tongue and let me tell you I had some words to say to be honest. Today I have a lovely nurse I done had before. She is so nice. She heard about the rude nurse, and I don’t know how she heard about her because I didn’t say nothing to anyone. I was in too much pain, to let the nurse I had known last night. I didn’t get the nurse name who came and put my I.V in, my nurse says she don’t play that. See what I mean a good nurse I have. Okay to the bad news, my count drop to 7.3, so you all know what that mean right? I need transfusion. sighs. I know another one. I’m still hurting today, not feeling my best, but wanted to share some of my good and bad news with you today, since last night was sort of short because of the pain. I’m so thankful for all your prayers and encouraging words. Truly touch my heart and head me all teary eyes. I shall keep you all posted, so until next time. You all have a Bless & Glorious Day!
p.s Almost forgot about the doctor, I do have a nice one this time around as well. Someone I never had before! Actually saw him when I got on the floor lastnight and that was around 11 soemthing. I told him I’m use to seen the doctor in the morning, he said he had nothing better to do. I had to laugh at them, sounds like a man thats about his business! We shall see how it goes throughout my stay here.
Living With Sickle Cell Anemia
No, I’m not in the hospital, I use numbers and count the days when I’m in hospital. Since I have been out, I haven’t been feeling my best. I’m trying not to stress because hey we all know what stress can truly do to our bodies. It ain’t pretty sight! I’m more worry about my blood count then anything right now. Its been long time since I haven’t had to get transfusion, my count wasn’t all that high. I’m use to leaving hospital with either high 8 or 9 and last month it was 10. It kept going up to even when I visit my primary doctor. When I did visit the hospital the first time it was sort of high 8, but it drop to low 7 since I was in so much pain and it was going up to it reach 7.8 then a little bit more. So you think I should be, NEGATIVE. So since I’m not feeling my best, I was told to make a doctor appointment with my Primary Doctor. I already knew that wasnt going to happen, since I can get to his office on time and still be in there for almost four hours if not exactly four hours. If you wonder what the heck he be doing, you truly not alone. So I made the appointment with my hemoglobin doctor. If I have to get transfusion, I plan on going for the port ASAP, I can’t take no more sticking and poking.
I started my JOURNEY with sharing my illness with ya’ll because I wanted to spread more AWARENESS on my illness. I must say I haven’t done a good job at all. Seems either I’m sick or school or you know we had the lovely holidays last year. I know I still have to do a post to explain what exactly it does and you know all that good stuff. I know everyone doesn’t know what it is exactly. I believe before I continue sharing my illness, I should share a post about it, and do trust me its coming very soon. I’m still struggling with catching up with my studies and staying on top of it. I hate when I’m behind and it takes forever to catch up, seems like that all I’m doing to be honest and its showing in my grades. So not happy when I’m so close to been done with my associate degree. I plan on getting my bachelor once I graduate. Off the topic, but wanted to share that little bit info with you all. I do hope everyone is having a BLESS Day/Night! God Bless
