I Got COVID-19
The last month has been hard. As I got over one thing, I was hit with something else. Winter is generally harder on me... In all of it, I am thankful and have hope. Thanks be to God. My primary doctor went on vacation, which I am glad she was able to do, but I was...
Radical Acceptance
I am so thankful to Jesus! Radical acceptance tells me that I am not ready for what I want but He is always working on me and I always have what I need. I am a blessed woman. The easy way has never worked for me so struggle is not new to me. Luckily for me, I don’t...
Merry Christmas 2021
Merry Christmas from Karen and I! We had a wonderfully relaxing day. Xavier got us up by 9 am so I made Karen coffee (I am not drinking coffee right now but she loves it) and Karen found the Disney Christmas Parade. That was fun to watch. I did not have any episodes...
Trigeminal Neuralgia
I am being treated for Trigeminal Neuralgia. 7 days of meds should get me into remission. I will see a neurologist as soon as possible not just because of this but other issues I am having that are not as painful, just annoying. My episode today, started around 2 pm....
Keep Moving
I must keep moving! These pain experiences are happening more frequently and sometimes are much longer. Last night Karen said my episode may have been 2 minutes. I can’t make an episode happen so I don’t know what is causing it. Most of the time it seems to be nerves...
Self-Care is Important
Today is a good day! But last night was terrible ...you would think I would read ingredients on a new food...but I didn’t so I have been tired and in more pain all day. I decided today was a good day to rest from my workout because self-care is important and rest is...
Choose Positivity
Today has been a great day to choose positivity, following 2 other great days. Thursday I did most of my workout and made a huge pot of soup with onion, carrots, celery, cabbage, corn, pumpkin, ground turkey and plant based sausage. It turned out great. There are two...
Another Great Day
Today was a great day! I needed this. The last week has been a struggle. Especially Saturday, Sunday and Monday. My body has recovered from my procedure well but as my body gets used to balancing hormones it has been hard. I had my post op appointment today and the NP...
3 Days Post Surgery…
It has been 3 days post surgery. I am getting around fine, but I know I can't do what I was able to do before my surgery and that is hard on me. It is amazing how you can work hard to create a healthy habit, like working out every day and then something happens and...
Pray For Each Other
Surgery day. I never realized how much has to be done to prepare for surgery! I spent the last 2 days cleaning, doing laundry and removing jewelry. I did my workouts both days, just as I will do in a few minutes. I don’t care for the antibacterial soap I had to wash...
