Day 2, Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

Posted on by poeticjourney

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 2, Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

I like to thank everyone for there kind words and prayers, I haven’t got to all my comments just yet, but have read them all. Truly touch my heart to hear you all praying for me. Early this morning got news I need to have tranfusion, my blood count has drop to 7.0! I’m not happy about it dropping because I believe it could’ve been prevented ahead of time. Before I came to hospital yesterday I receive some upsetting news, that my paperwork hasn’t been fax so I can see sickle cell doctor. Everytime I call and my blood doctor call they said they was faxing it over right then. We shall see how that goes. Its going to take awhile before they find my blood, so I have been told and I have been through this so many times in the past. Hopefully so many peeps done went out to donate blood 🙂 I do have a nice nurse today, the other nurse went home before she wasn’t feeling her best. Just waiting to see the doctor to see what he have to say. Thats all I have to share with you all for now. I shall keep you posted.

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 🙂

Hello Everyone,

Time to share some news with ya’ll. As of last night I received new my count is going up. It’s not all that good, long as it’s not 7 something, I can totally dig it! lol! So I was told I could go home tomorrow! YAY! Its Morning, I have had my cup of coffee & bacon on the side! lol If you wondering if I had anything else on my tray, surely did. It was muffin, I didn’t touch it! Finally seen the doctor this morning, he ask me if I wanted to go home. UMMMMMM…… What kind of question is that? I said yes, if you wondering if I’m feeling my best. The question is NO, but I’m ready to be home. I know I’ll do what I need to do to prevent my immune system from getting attack again. The weather is no joke here. SPRING I NEED YOU! I’m just saying! 🙂 I can’t even tell you the last time I was in hospital that I didn’t have to get transfusion. So thank to everyone who has been praying for a speedy recovery. I have had so many great nurses, since I have been here. Can’t say the same for what they been trying to feed me. Not even going to go there right now!

 

 

HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A BLESS MONDAY!

Hello Everyone,

Time to share some of my day with you. Still in the hospital, have seen the doctor. I have finally saw the doctor and right now at 5 I’ll be getting my blood check and praying It still good or even better. I’ll let you all know how that goes. I’m ready to start feeling better so I can go home and enjoy the craziness of my family. Trying to do my homework but its hard with only one hand to use. I can’t use my right hand because of the I.V been in an uncomfortable spot for me. And I’m not trying to get stuck again. If things don’t go well with my blood count, then maybe I’ll have to get another I.V thats for another post! I have great nurse who I met years ago. It’s good to see a familiar face when you in unpleasant place. I actually miss doing some poetry, I have been thinking of a few pieces to write but havent had the strength to type, I wouldn’t dare write since I wouldn’t be able to understand.

before I end the post I would love TO THANK EACH & EVERYONE OF YOU FOR PRAYING, KEEPING ME IN YOUR THOUGHTS, AS WELL ENCOURAGEMENT! GOD BLESS EACH & EVERYONE OF YOU 🙂

GOD TRULY BLESS ME WITH EACH & EVERYONE OF YOU
