This so hard

Originally posted 2018-06-17 22:22:17. Please continue to pray for strength and healing. This is by far one of the hardest things I think I have dealt with in my life. It literally feels like my heart is being ripped out of my chest. Her kidneys just aren’t recovering from the kidney stones and they need to start chemotherapy now. I am watching my mother fight so much but did say if for some reason something…

Am I just grieving?

Originally posted 2023-09-01 08:45:05. A few nights ago I had a weird dream. For some reason I dreamt that my mother was murdered. I am not sure if it was because I had been watching some of those shows where they talk about someone was murdered and they were trying to resolve it years later or not. In my dream I went to my mothers house. I will add that I have not been to…

My heart is breaking

Originally posted 2018-06-15 14:38:27. This will be the hardest thing I have ever done. I have to somehow suppress the expression on my face because Dusty is watching me like a hawk. He knows something is up. This hurts so much. I don’t know how to let go of my mother. I don’t know how to live my life without her. I don’t know how I will ever explain it to Dusty. I pray to…

DCR Scheduled

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…

I’m so tired of being tired

Originally posted 2021-10-12 07:37:20. My arm, shoulder, and shoulder blade area is beyond killing me. For over a week now it has been constantly spasmming (is this even a word? I don’t know at this point and don’t care). It makes it so hard to sleep. I normally am a side sleeper because of my sciatica and the pain of it affecting my sleep. So I have to sleep on my right side. Well this…

Saorise’s Turn

Originally posted 2023-08-11 10:00:51. It’s official! Saorise completely tore her ACL in her right hind leg. So it is her turn to get the same surgery Chewy got. We are waiting on an official date for surgery as the veterinary surgeon was called up for jury duty. Hopefully the case she has jury duty on isn’t one that is long and drawn out and will be quick. But if it is then it what it…

Need some relief

Originally posted 2021-10-08 09:37:04. I pulled or did something to a muscle in my back/shoulder blade area. The muscle runs down my arm to my fingers. It has made it hard to do anything. We had a pain management appointment Monday morning and the doc said it was swollen so she put on one of these patches. The muscle spasms are relentless. Over and over again It’s like it’s putting pressure on the tendons, muscles,…

The Big C

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…

My middle name is UTI

Originally posted 2023-07-06 12:58:20. I have reached the 4 week post op mark from the latest surgery. I go to my follow-up appointment an hour and some change away. This time my bff goes with me. I wanted to stop by Pottery Barn after the appointment to look at a recliner. Anyway… I’m at the appointment. They were pretty busy, backed up from one of their employees being absent due to her mom passing away.…
