Day 1, Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

Posted on by poeticjourney

Hello and welcome to another day with me as I lay in bed in this evil place 🙂 I have been in pain all day, so as I posted last night I would be going to hospital. I’m not even going to tell you how long I been here and I just recently got admitted about hour ago. Yes, they are slow and so they say have been hella hectic. I know I’ll  fill you in some more in the morning. I just wanted to let you all know whats going on with me since I haven’t posted or commenting anytime today. I’m not ignoring you, just pretty much been hurting and being here pretty much today. I do hope each and everyone of you or Bless Night.

 

 

p.s Thabk for all the kind comments, prayers truly touch my headt.

Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

Where should I begin, I haven’t been feeling good ever since last week. I had a little trip to E.R they didn’t keep me because well my count wasn’t low enough! Go figure right? Shrugs!  I started feeling better, but you know the saying calm before the storm right? Early Sunday Morning, it hit me hard and like a ton of bricks. I felt it in my legs,arms,back,etc. I smile when I wanted to cry, took plenty hot showers and bath just to feel a little relief. I had forgotten about bengay, it came to me in dream last night. I’m trying to hold out going back to hospital because of school, semester ends tomorrow. I have to be honest, I haven’t done any homework, every time I tried the pain go bad, sounds bad or like I have excuse not to finish my homework. I’m so ashamed, but if you ever felt bad you know exactly what I’m talking about. I’m so thankful for all the prayers and encouraging words, truly have touch me. I have one of the worse headaches, i don’t know how long I done had it. I’m just glad my back isn’t hurting, because it was painful to move or get up once I did sit down. I could go on and on with this post, but I do have to tempt to get some more homework done, but I do know for a fact if I’m not feeling better in the morning, I’ll be at the hospital dreading it all!  I must admit this is the worst I have felt since going into crisis and sharing with you all lovely people. I believe when I got introduce to the ideal of blogging about my illness,I was just starting out really to blogging here. It was bad then, and it’s not pretty now. So on that note, I hope everyone is having a lovely and bless night! God Bless 🙂

This strong little lady has touch so many hearts, I’m just now hearing about her story. If you wondering I don’t really watch the news!  Even thought she was the one going through the ordeal. The amazing three-year old told her parents JUST TRUST! Here is the video, I actually read her updates on Facebook, she is talking a little bit. Just imagine a little child having this much TRUST in GOD and we grown people crumble. JUST TRUST, no matter what you going through in your life. God Bless. This story is so close to home, she is truly a FIGHTER!

DO KEEP THE FAMILY IN YOUR PRAYERS, AS THEY OVERCOME ALL ODDS WITH CANCER. YOU ALL HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ME WHEN I WAS IN NEED OF MY ILLNESS, JUST BE THERE FOR THE FAMILY AS THEY GO THROUGH THIS. THANK N GOD BLESS TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU

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

Laying In Bed

Posted on by poeticjourney

Laying In bed

tossing & turning

Trying to get right

Laying quietly in

my room

I heard babies crying,

while some are playing.

Poor littles one in pain

Pain so intense

I couldn’t sleep.

Praying just to get

some Zzzz’s

I.V in  sore spot

driving me crazy

As my pain intense

so does the I.V

Laying in bed

Tossing & Turning

Thanking

GOD

 for never leaving me!

Morning came

new nurses arrived

he showed me to never

lose FAITH

Laying in bed

oxygen on point

blood pressure

not looking so good

Tossing & Turning

praying to be able to

go home soon and

be pain-free

Look into my Eyes

Posted on by poeticjourney

They tell a story of what

 I been through

shows my pain,frustration

They hide so many things,

but not the intensity of

my pain, that sends me away

from my love ones

Look Into My Eye’s

What do you see?

Do you see inside my soul?

Do you see my heart crying out?

Make sure you don’t stare,

just be honest and let me

know when they change.

Look Into My Eye’s

They betrays me at times

So many time’s

I had to cover up and push on

Look Into My Eye’s

Tell me what you see?

The poem is inspired by my illness.  With Sickle Cell Anemia, my eye’s or normally yellow, but when I’m feeling bad there turns a little more yellow.  That is when I have to worry, and drink my liquid. Let me tell you feels like I’m drinking too much water. lol
