I know I mention I receive good news yesterday 🙂 The good news was I went home, so I spent the rest of the day with my family. I was so glad to see my little lady , her little face lit up. She was so upset about leaving school that she was crying, she stop when she saw me. It truly made my day coming home, I must admit. I told the doctor I was ready to go home either way if I was hurting or not. Let me tell I meant it. A week in the hospital was long enough for me. I must admit I did have cute doctor, the man I saw the first night I was put in. I was excited to hear my blood count went up a little bit more. Thank God. It didn’t get check the night before, and I was off the fluid the day before for four hours, so who knows it might have made a difference. I must admit I did have a good Valentine, going home and being with the one’s I love. Nothing is better than that. In my book that the perfect Valentine. 🙂 For the first time since I have been in hospital I haven’t really been in the mood to post or comment through my ordeal. I must admit it has been one of my not so good experience in a long time. That truly says a lot. I’m not going to bore you with long story, I know you all getting tired of reading about my experience in the hospital. SO I leave it as that. Thank you all for your encouraging words and prayers, truly meant/means a lot to me. Kept me going! God Bless 🙂

Day 7,Living With Sickle Cell Anemia
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 🙂
Day 4, Living With Sickle Cell Anemia
Good Morning,Finally decided to make it over to posting and reading comments. I’m so touch by every single one of you. 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 🙂
Day 3,Living With Sickle Cell Anemia
Good Morning, Another Day here in the evil place. I might make two post today. I’m not happy to be honest. I can’t eat or drink to I get my port. YAY for the port, boo that I can’t have anything to eat or drink. We have subway here at the hospital so it’s not like I would eat the hospital food. I would love a cup of coffee right now. I had another lovely nurse last night she went and go my sub for me last night. 🙂 I’m still waiting to get my transfusion, I need two units instead of one. I believe they have one right now, but not the other one. Sighs! I’m a little nerves about the port, but I need it, because I don’t know how much more I can take getting stick. I saw my little lady yesterday, she didn’t want to leave me. I was so happy to see her. I told her I would call her and check on her, but I feel bad since I was in so much pain yesterday. I had forgotten to call my little lady. She didn’t want to talk to me today. I can’t blame her. I saw my doctor yesterday. I seem to have to start seen a sickle-cell doctor since I’m having more crisis then every before. Oh yea lucky me I have to add another pill to my collection. Sighs! If you all don’t know I hate taking medication. I can understand take them every now and then when you have pain, but to take them so you wont have pain is another story. Well that all for now, I do hope each and every one of you is having a lovely day.
P.s I’m so thankful for all the prayers and lovely comments, they truly help my day go by. God Bless:)
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.
Day 1, Living With Sickle Cell Anemia
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 🙂
Doctor Appointment
Good Afternoon,
and welcome to my JOURNEY, I know I mention in my Word to the Wise, that had doctor appointment. I’m here to let you know how it went. It went sort of good! YAY! I mention to him, that I’m ready to go for port, because hey your girl is getting tired of getting stick when it comes to things like that. So they or checking into information before I go in for it. I’m little nervous but it’s good I won’t feel it when the time comes, and its a lot easy on my body. I have so many scars on my arms when it comes to sticking me. I actually have a poem call Scars,that talks about it. http://poeticjourney251.com/2011/12/14/scars/ Make sure you click the link to read it. The doctor ask me do I believe I need transfusion, since it was still low. Tell me how come my doctor thinks its low when its 8,but the fools at the E.R don’t. That be another story for another time. Well been home for a while actually waking up from a much needed nap. I got a call saying I need transfusion, its starting to drop once again. I must say I’m hoping that since I’m getting transfusion now, that I wont have to see inside hospital month coming up. I have to pray about it and wouldn’t mind if you all prayed as well. 🙂 So I have to go in later today so they can stick me once again. Sighs, I do pray and hope they have good luck finding a vein. Since I was in the hospital a few weeks ago, someone stuck me in not so good place and have knot to show for it. If you new to joining my JOURNEY, I have Sickle Cell Anemia. They want to me to get the transfusion tomorrow, but I know for a fact that I’m not going to enjoy this. I have to go through a lot before I can actually get the transfusion, that my only main problem right now. Sighs, moving on time to throw all my worries in my school work. I’ll shall keep you all posted on what happen when it happen. 🙂
I’m so thankful for all the prayers from each and every one of you! Truly means a lot to me. 🙂 I do hope each and every one of you having a Bless Day
