The Brighter side

Its Saturday night: Late Thursday night and Friday was a really tough time for me physically.

I thought that hospital was going to be my only option I was just so sick. I think I double dosed on my night meds (unsure) but I did have a change in Migraine medication (supposed to help) instead I was throwing up I broke out in a rash and had a blinding migraine that felt like my head had split wide open like a melon I couldn't open my eyes to see if I was even making the bucket I was in so much pain I left my bed to sneak to a quieter place as to not wake anyone up.
I didn’t think that I could physically be so sick so far along, nor did I consider how scared I would become. I did hold on in the midst of it all and made it through to the other side without leaving home (I hate hospitals with a passion and doctors also, exception granted to a few).
I stopped the pain meds and threw them away tried taking my usual that doesn’t really work but at least makes my physical being bearable it was too late but I'm settled now.
Tonight I feel much better (Thank God)
I really am appreciating being up and out of bed. I am so grateful for hanging in and not retreating to the starkness of a white walled sterile environment of the hospital.
I am off to the specialist Tuesday I know my white cell count is down as I have a slight chest infection but am avoiding antibiotics as I have no fever so we will see how I go. Just for the record I will go to the doctor or Hospital if absolutely necessary so no need to lay down the law with me in comments lol.
Emotionally I feel good I have laid a lot of baggage to rest and am being pro active in my thoughts for the future. I am looking forward to researching a new project that will have financial and emotional rewards for me and all of us (I will keep you posted)

So that’s it for me I need to rest (yes I said it REST) I am trying to take care of my self and I pray for good health for all of you.

Oh my Shaz my heart hurts for you and the difficult time you have/are having. I am glad you are so in tune with your body you are aware of what is going on----and also realize there might be a time you do need the care at the hospital if the darkness does not pass to the light.

I am glad the light is beginning to shine just please please take care of you.

I send you special thoughts of love. Take care of YOU.

Sweet Shaz; It's late in the day and I'm just now getting a minute to check out my dear friends. So so sorry to read of all the sickness you've been through. I know how you hate hospitals, and glad you were able to make it without going...but it you really need to, you will, right? In the meantime, my love and prayers!
Sleep my child, please sleep...!

You got to get one of those boxes that let you to split you meds in days and doses. You can't make mistakes with you meds.

I hope you get some rest soon and the headacks go away. You are almost at the end of this keep it in mind. Its almost over.

Take care

Hi Shaz, Well its Wednesday and I am anxiously waiting to find out what the doc had to say. Hopefully by the time you went you were feeling better and those elusive white cells were present and accounted for.

Thinking of you sweet girl.
