No Jinx...No Jinx...
I'm excited for Thanksgiving and I have some energy back I think has been missing for awhile.
Family and Friends and good food, warm house and 4 days home from treatments with wonderful weather forecasted. All the animals are safe and my kids are covering me well on the homefront. I have good friends who call, send prayers, encouragement and lots of hugs. How can it be any better!?
Now, so I don't do the jinx. This stage of treatment is going very well and I will stay a little warmer and put aside all those need to do chores and save them for another day. I will try my best to stay the most positive and when I'm feeling sorry for myself, I always think of the young children I see going through treatment and realize, I'm not the only one experiencing this. The thing that breaks my heart are those young faces who are going through treatments. If I had the money and time, I'ld be helping those litttle faces that should have the best treatment and care offered. Of course everyone who faces a disease is needing help, but I have an image of a small child that I saw while I was entering a CAT scan years ago. She was scared and holding her blanket, she was brave but pretty worried and she definitely needed my hug. I will never forget that little look! Why would I ever feel sorry for myself again I told myself.
Again, how Nurses, Doctors and all medical field people can handle this daily amazes me.
I am a huge sap and would be a wreck.
Now for a positive note...one of my sons drives me the 2 1/2hrs every Monday to treatments and I stay in a Motel until Thursday night, heading home on Fridays. My son fortunately lives where I do, but he has driven to his job typically Tues through Fridays. He just needs to leave a day earlier now.
It works well, but we are eating out nightly and enjoy a few activities that fill in the evenings. I think we've eaten at couple dozen different restaurants and enjoyed some really nice meals. We could be food critics pretty soon. I've gotten to spend a little more time with one of my kids, who's been pretty busy in his own life with family, home moves, kids, events and life in the busy world of changes. Its been nice and gives me lots to remind me about.
My family is fantastic and everyone of them are there for me at any turn. My Grandkids give me wonderful smiles and enjoyment and always entertain me.
I have lots to be Thankful!
I extend my best wishes to all for a Wonderful Thanksgiving. Enjoy it with family, friends or even complete strangers.
Just be positive and look forward to another day! Its what its all about!

I had my TL a little more than a year ago when my third child was born via c-section. I was not told ANYTHING about the possible side effects of having this procedure. Since then I have experienced heavy bleeding lasting sometimes 3 weeks out of the month, weight gain, severe mood swings. Severe cramping, changes to my libido, severe depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts, headaches, migraines, many new symptoms & older issues are now exacerbated. The father of two of my children doesn't want me anymore. I've become too much of a pain in the ass I guess. We don't talk. We don't sleep in the same bed. I think he might really think I am crazy... & maybe I am. I feel crazy a lot of the time.
ReplyDeleteI'm unpredictable. I feel so angry about the whole thing & now what was once a mild fear of doctors has exploded into full on white coat syndrome that causes me to have a panic attack/hypertensive emergency (severe increase in blood pressure) whenever I have to deal with them. I'm not sure what to do... I fear the next time I have to see a doctor I'll have a stroke or a heart attack from the stress & anxiety of it... what do I do? I take my time and keep searching on internet looking for natural healing that how I came across Dr Itua herbal center website and I was so excited when Dr Itua told me to calm down that he will help me with his natural remedy I put my hope on him so I purchase his herbal medicines which was shipped to my address I used it as prescribed guess what? I'm totally healed my cramp pain is gone completely I also used his Anti Bacteria herbal medicines it's works for me very well I want anyone with health problem to contact Dr Itua herbal center for any kind diseases remedies such as Parkinson, Herpes, ALS, MS, Diabetes, Hepatitis, Hiv/Aids,Cancers, Men & Women Infertility, I got his email address drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com he has any kind of herbal remedies for women & men also for our babes. I really miss my Hunni...he's a fantastic father & a good man. He doesn't deserve this. I feel like an empty shell of who I used to be.
