My Journey

Posted on 25 Oct 2011 by poeticjourney

My JOURNEY tells a story so does my name. I’m a POET at heart. Fell in love with it when I almost died when I was in 6^th grade. I knew I had a place to run to. On these JOURNEY I have learn a lot, I plan on bringing my poetry here that I have never shared with anyone. You will see where I come from and where I end. I may lose some on this JOURNEY, but as of right now. I don’t care. If you haven’t had the chance to read my ABOUT MEI do have SICKLE CELL ANEMIA, and these is my get away to express myself. I started my JOURNEY on love but it turns out to be more about ME! You will experience when I felt like I had to give up on love. How I came close to not believing in it anymore. Where would I be if GOD didn’t love me? HE died for us, so what if I ran into men that didn’t know what love was all about. I will share poems and question and stories through different times of my life. I can’t go a day without THANKING GOD, or writing about him. My friend told me the other day my blog looking more like Christian Blog. I’m not really worry about that. I’m happy even if I can touch just one person with my story. It’s a story of my life how I have overcome to many obstacles. How I lost my brother at young age, it takes a toll over you when you day and year apart. To the different time’s I almost died. God allowed me to love, he truly have a plan for me. I hope to fulfill it.

Today isnt a good day. Finally cold weather is setting in, and
feeling it in my body! I havent spoke much on my illness because I have being doing some serious research for my paper and learning more about it myself! A few more weeks of school and a little break. Headaches getting worse, so havent being able to focus on my assingment like I want. I know I still have the entry to explain it, sad say I lose a lot of my work on my pc. I want to be ADVOCATE for SCD. So much to do in so little time. Im battling with myself right now, because I want to do so much or should I say Im doing to much! God give me strength!

Sickle Cell Anemia

Doctor Appointment. (update)

Posted on 21 Sep 2011 by poeticjourney

Hey world,

Seem like everything looking good. Shoo it better be since I just got out yesterday right? Loll. I’m glad to be home. I was worry at first because I thought maybe I wasn’t ready since I was still having a little pain, but other than that I’m good. God Is Good all The Time. I had to wait awhile, to see the doctor because I went in earlier. I haven’t got my appetite back yet. I can say that’s a good thing. Means it’s time to get to work on my school work so I won’t be behind and struggling. Sounds like fun, but it’s not. I don’t have to see him to the New Year so I’m happy about that, but not too happy. It all depends how my illness does. Praying it does well and I have no problems.

I know yesterday I posted that I may post more on it on some days and some days I wouldn’t. It is like once a week post about it to inform the world or whoever wants to learn more on it for love one or just for them. Just never give up on yourself of that love one. I use to be in a group where a couple was pregnant and was thinking about abortion because they were worry about the baby having the disease. But you knew the cause before you decided to do what you did. But hey that’s just my opinion. I know everyone doesn’t think like I do.

Day 4, Living with Sickle Cell Anemia

Posted on 21 Sep 201111 Oct 2011 by poeticjourney

Today I got the news I get to go home. I receive my last unit of blood early this morning. Can you say I’m happy about being ready to get out this place and to be home in my own bed and to be able to eat real food? I have being starving myself because I haven’t being hungry or just because hey the food is nasty. I still have my headaches, but I believe I can deal with them. The doctor got me on some new medicine that supposes to help with the headaches, so I can’t wait to see how well they help. The headaches have being no picnic for me. Right now I’m writing from home, which I’m happy about so I can be able to do some serious spell check. I’m not feeling 100 percent better. But hey I’m home. I got work to work on but I believe I start all that tomorrow. I got to Friday to get it in, I hate to get to far behind on my school work. My goal is to stay on top of everything this semester. I have doctor appointment tomorrow. I’m praying for some good news. My blood count is 8.7. Some may be wondering wow that kind of low, but in my case its better then 6.4. I’ll never have 11 or 13 like a person that don’t have my illness. Felt good to see my niece and nephew today. I didn’t think I miss them as much as I thought, but they were so glad to see me. I got me some hugs and kisses. Just to feel them in my arms and to know they love me was enough to let me know I’m glad to be home.

I may be home from hospital so my post will not be days anymore since I’m not in hospital, but will post about sickle cell once a week. I hope to touch many lives and more ways than one. Any question doesn’t be afraid to ask me. I’m here to ask. My journey is here for everyone that’s willing to join it with me to learn more.

My Blessing 2 Each and Every One Of you. God Bless

Still in hospital, laying in bed hooked up to iv getting blood. Finally receiving my blood, its a shame because I being waiting since Saturday. If you wondering if my blood count been the same or have it drop from them bn slow. Yes yes yes it drop. Im starting to feel a little bit better. Hoping to go home tonight if that possible. Believe a nap will do me justices while receiving my tranfusion. This disease isnt a picnic. Its a fight every day of your life to not give up and to keep going. I hope yall learn as much from my journey as Im willing to share. Have another unit of blood to receive. God be with me and whoever going through the same ordeal Im going through and anyone else.
