Chronic Living

Originally posted 2022-02-24 09:00:45. Living with someone with Chronic Pain/Illness. Everyday is a struggle. You have to sit back and witness the person you love in pain, often with no solution, no answers, and no end in sight. It’s never ending doctor’s appointments. It’s watching them lose everything, including their hobbies, their happiness, and their joy. It’s waking up in pain, not knowing if it’s going to ease or get worse. It’s having to get…

Second Infusion

Had my second infusion this morning. I figured I would be ok to drive myself afterwards so I didn’t ask anyone for help. Wellllll…. maybe I should have. The infusion went without a hitch. Only issue was there was someone doing maintenance in the building and the guy was doing something to the bathroom ceiling and when he did he created sheetrock dust. That sheetrock dust went all over the toilet, toiletpaper, etc. I didn’t…

Tired for a reason?

Why the hell am I ALWAYS TIRED! Like seriously… I wake up tired… I am consistently tired throughout the day no matter what I do. Now, I did go get some blood work done and my iron storing ability is zilch… like almost non existent. So for now I am taking iron supplements but have to watch it because since I take pain meds the risk off over constipation is there. I say “over” because…

I am to remain at home. My biggest issue is my son. Normally the moment someone in our house gets sick it is a given he gets it. So fingers crossed this is just allergies or a cold or something minimal. I do not meet criteria…

Originally posted 2014-07-07 18:33:37. You know there are days when I just want to give it all up and others that I can’t get enough. The life I was given I sure has its meanings. I just for once would like not to struggle…just once. I realize there are so many people who have been dealt a bad hand and others don’t even use their own. Some that think mommy and daddy are they forever…

If I get dementia

● If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.● If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.● If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you…

Prayers Please

Originally posted 2020-12-07 15:20:11. Please keep us in your prayers. This morning we found out that we may have been exposed to someone who was COVID19 positive. We weren’t around this person but my niece and nephew were and they came to our home several times, like they always do. They came over on Saturday, back and forth like normal. They just didn’t know they were around someone who was positive just I guess not…
