He sees me crying, mad, frustrated, etc I can’t escape. All the while trying to repair hurricane florence damage. I have been going to my local massage envy every few weeks for a deep tissue massage. It has helped tremendously from a physical standpoint but not really helped mentally. I need an…
Originally posted 2019-04-15 16:33:56. I feel like this post should have Michael McDonald’s song I Keep Forgetting as my theme song. My husband kept bugging me about forgetting my meds. So… time to get serious. On a side note my A1C, from 5.5 to 6.1 – and the scale accompanied by 4. My diabetes doc still considers me as a controlled diabetic. Oh well… I have not been taking the prevagen like I should…
Originally posted 2021-12-16 13:25:26. My last post spoke about me being told I needed to have a fusion asap. After the MRI and nerve conduction study I went back to the the orthopedist for a follow up. Well… he left me so confused. He didn’t see the fusion as urgent anymore and then said I needed a carpal tunnel release surgery. I left there so freaking confused. I immediately contacted my pain management docs expressing…
Originally posted 2020-05-02 09:23:36. I was the skeptic when it came to CBD products. I have seen and heard it just like everyone else. People would swear by it. But, I just didn’t think it worked like that. That was until my best friend used the cbd massage melt by Pure Romance. She used it on her wrists, hands, shoulder, arms after driving 15 plus hours bringing a load of their belongings from Missouri. After…
Originally posted 2021-11-07 08:27:32. PUREROMANCE BY AMY MARIE I had another lumbar steroid injection this week to hopefully ease some of my chronic pain. I have had numerous injections and never had a problem with the procedure or anything related to it. This time though it was a bit different. You see because of my previous surgeries and the overgrowth of bonegraft and build up of scar tissue it has made the doc’s ability to…
Originally posted 2021-10-16 07:53:04. Welp… It’s scheduled. I finally found an oculoplastic surgeon. His practice is about an hour away, so not that bad of a drive at all. He needed to test and see if my tear duct was blocked and if so, how bad. He did attempt to flush (or try to) my tear duct to see how bad it was blocked. He pushed the fluid filled syringe through my tear duct while…
Originally posted 2018-06-12 13:09:01. I need your prayers, miracles. My heart hurts and I just can’t do life without my momma. She is in the fight for life and I will likely not be on social media much. Her kidneys took a hit and need to heal in order for them to do any chemo or radiation. Cancer is in her liver and lungs and they need to see if it is in her brain…
Originally posted 2021-10-06 19:46:51. Yesterday morning I woke up in extreme pain. The pain was in the right part of my upper back that seemed to radiate thru to the front of my chest. It also went all the way down my arm into my fingers. I couldn’t lay down and get comfortable. The pain seemed to increase in intensity after 30 to 60 seconds. I tried to describe it to my husband as well…
Originally posted 2018-06-06 11:13:07. As I sit here looking of inspiration for each keystroke I hold back tears. The normal daily routine of getting my son up to take his medications doesn’t stop for anything. Hearing the words in my head over and over… CANCER… My mother has beaten colorectal cancer just a few years ago. Her body still trying to recover from the chemo and radiation. Then having to have her arteries bypassed…
You know the times you run low on your meds, and you just call the pharmacy and get more? Yeah, well, that’s now how it worked this time… 🤦♂️ Dusty told us he had one of his meds… “One pill mom” 😳😳😳 Yeah, ummmm… majority of the time, it’s no big deal. Even though we have been trying to get him to understand that he needs to tell us a lot sooner. I keep his…
