Sunday, February 27, 2011- Day 72

-
Prayers needed please! As you know from my little tantrum on Thursday I have been having a rough time. For the past ten days or so I have not been feeling great. I have had a sore throat, headache , extremely tired ( more than normal), and a touch of lockjaw. Every morning I can only drink coffee or some other beverage because my mouth cannot open wide enough to get a spoon in my mouth. It has been popping and my whole face has been hurting. I took another three house nap today and when I woke up I just felt horrible. I thought about trying to get in to see a doctor tomorrow. The more I thought about it I thought I probably should go today. So I went to a local walk in clinic that we usually go to when we do not want to wait to get into our doctor. I get to the clinic and the sky is turning black and a tornado warning is being issued for our county and the county I am in at the doctor. I am terrified of storms so it was a antsy time at the doctors office. Jeremy and the kids got in the closet until to storm passed by. It was not a surprise that my blood pressure was high when I got to the doctor. They did a strep test but it came back negative. He diagnosed me with a bacterial infection that looks and feels like strep. It also causes the problems with the jaw, but I probably should get it checked to rule out TMJ. He then took some blood because he said my symptoms also sounded like mono! They took some blood and the results came back to show a slight risk for mono. He told me to get plenty of rest and drink plenty of liquids and that I would need to watch for any more mono symptoms. He gave me some medicine and I was supposed to take it easy this week. OK, that sounds great but this is probably the busiest week of my life. I am swamped with stuff to do. So please pray that I will find the time to rest and the things I need to get done will be accomplished quicker than I am expecting. Well with that said I am going to bed. We are expecting severe weather throughout the night so I am not sure how much sleep I will get. I almost made a bed in the closet for the kids but Jeremy thought that was silly:)

 Oh, hey. Just dropping in to unload the million thoughts going on in my head. I know it's been awhile and once again I am writing this from my phone, so please excuse any mistakes. I am wearing my reading glasses since the last time I posted so maybe writing from my phone won't be as bad as it usually is.   I'm a little bit of a mess these days and I am entering the time of the year that is the hardest on me emotionally,  mentally,  and spiritually. These next few months are filled with dates that broke me. There are dates the next few months that take me back to the darkest days I have experienced.  I enter this fight with the demons that seemed to have attached themselves to me 22 years ago. Praise Jesus, He gave me victory from those demons, but this time of year they like to rear their ugly heads and I struggle. Cancer gave me so many wonderful people and experiences that would not be part of who I am now. But cancer and the trauma that  followed ...

  "I live with a difficult child. That is really hard to write, but the truth is that I have lived with a difficult child for about 14 years. The last few years have been unbearable at times."  I haven't written a post in a long time. The main reason is that I don't have a personal computer (my work computer will not let me log in with my personal email) and I absolutely hate writing from my phone, but here I am needing to write,so I write. When I logged on this evening I found that I had started to write a post on May 23, 2022, but never finished it. We had just come off one of the most difficult years with Chloe. I could be found most nights just crying in my bathroom or screaming, "I can't live in this house with her anymore!" Her treatment towards me had escalated so intensely that I didn't even speak to her for several days and I was a little afraid of her. She had been making so many poor choices at home and we just tried to keep them hidden. I...

Wednesday, October 26, 2011- You are cordially invited...to my pity party

Okay. So life has been hard these past few weeks. Well, maybe not life in general, but I have been having a rough time. So, I am choosing to have myself a little pity party. If you would like to join me, keep reading. I do not talk much about my fibromyalgia. One, I do not like to complain and I feel like I am just a big complainer when I do talk about it. Two, the truth is that if you do not have it you cannot fully wrap your mind or sympathy around the pain I feel every day of my life. Over the past two years I really have learned to live with it. My husband and kids would see a glimpse of my pain, but I even tried to hide it from them. I really struggle with letting people know my own hurt and pain. Almost a year ago I was finally diagnosed and was able to get a mild relief from the intense pain. Of course the first few medicines work for a few months but then I was changed to a more powerful medicine. Well, about a month ago my pain has returned at full force. I was scheduled to go...
