Hi all, not really a whole lot to say as far as an update. I do have a lot of things going on right now with family stuff. So I would just ask that you all pray for me. That God may bless me with the strength to do the things that I need to do.
Holla!

Wow another ER visit..
Ok, now im a little mad. This is the second time I have typed this. I was all done, and my computer shut down. Now I dont' know if I feel like typing this long blog over again. I suppose since I am typing now, I guess I will. I don't have anything else to do right now.
Well, I had another minor, well I suppose this one was a major set back. I went to work feeling good with the exception of a headache. All and all, I was feeling good. My headache started to get worse and worse real fast. I remember telling Melissa that I didn't feel good. Michelle took my BP and it was in the 140's. D told me to just rest for a bit. I said I'm ok, it will pass. Long story short, I had a "minnie stroke". I remember the left side of my face feeling really numb and also my chin. My mom said by the time we got to Reasearch Hospital, my BP was in the 200's. Wow. I have to say, I have never been so scared in my life. I was kinda mad also, because I was having such a good night. I just did not want to go home...And well, I didn't..LOL...Ok not funny.
I am do much better and am back home. Thank you to Deanna, Michelle, and Debbie for quick thinking. Although I don't know what happened to them after that.....Thanks to all that were worried and praying for me. I needed that. And to all my friends that were concerned about my well being. I am no longer taking my meds PRN (MaryBeth and Michelle). But, BID.......Ohh sorry, for those of you that are not medically inclined. PRN is pretty much whenever you feel like it. BID, is twice a day......Ok, I'm done. Thanks again.
Holla.

Whew!! What a day
Well, here we are again rounding up another awesome work day. It is Monday morning and I am ready for bed. I don't really have much to blab about today. Other than my weekend went pretty good. We took the kids to the movies to see Soul Men. You know the one with Bernie Mac and Samuel L. Jackson. There is another guy, but for the life of me I can't remember his name. However, it was the last movie Bernie and the other guy made before they died. Two awesome performers and men. God rest their souls. I don't think there is anything else really to say. Ohh wait let me tell you. Most of you know that I have plethora of medical issues going on right now. One of which is my thyroid. I have a huge goiter in my throat and it kinda bothers me sometimes. Like, I have to clear my throat allot, I have to chew my food up in smaller pieces so that I can swallow. I don't lay flat on my back much because when I do, it presses up against my windpipe and it's hard to breathe. It affects my blood pressure, and it just plain hurts sometimes. This particular night, I think it was Thursday night, I broke out in this awful cough and could not stop. Which is another symptom. By the time I caught my breath, I started wheezing, and my heart was pounding. I knew that my blood pressure was up. I bought a blood pressure monitor for home so I checked it. It indeed was 144/100. So, I waited for a while and tried to calm myself down, and checked again. It was 145/99. So I just said if I check again and it is not really any better, then I will go to the ER. So I sat up concentrated on my breathing. I finally stopped wheezing, and checked it again, and it was 138/88. So that was better. I finally fell asleep. Most of you that know me, are aware that I have an issue taking my BP medicine. Not because I think its a PRN med. like some of my coworkers (MaryBeth and Michelle, Trisha etc.......)may think. But, because I really don't believe that I need them. My BP is fine with the exception of a few minor set backs sometimes. However, I do take my prosac faithfully.....Geeezzz! Can I get a little credit....LOL.......
Oh oh oh, wait, wait, wait. Oh my gosh!!! I went to my doctors appointment last Friday...and ohhhhhh man. I thought I was going to get a simple ultrasound, you know like what they do when they are peaking at your baby..Ohhh no, no, no, that is not what happened. People, let me tell you, they put something inside my body that should never go there. I was yelling so loud, I was heard out in the lobby. And, they did it twice. Whoooo!!!!! The nurse kept telling me to relax. What the ^&%$(^%(*^....Oh sorry, I got a little carried away. But, It was all for the good. They were looking for a tumor, but did not find one thank God. However, when they started poking around, my kidney started bleeding. OMGosh. What next. So I am waiting for test results. So pray for me you all...I still got my good drugs though.......And of course my prozac.....
Holla!!!!!

Dancing/Emergency Room
Hello all. I started off having a fabulous weekend. Saturday my 3 nieces came over and of course i had my Goddaughter. She's pretty much at my house all the time. I'm so excited because i am going to be a Godmother x2.....LOL....Her mom is pregnant, in case I confused anybody. So needless to say I had a house full of kids.
I didn't go to church Sunday because I had work that evening so i just slept most of the day.
On Monday's I have dance rehearsal from 6:30 to 8:30 or 9pm. Probably was not a good idea to do that. Oh wait let me backtrack.
For some of you that don't know. I have been to the doctor alot lately. They are looking at possible tumors in my bladder, which is causing me alot of back pain. I have been poked a prodded. X-ray'ed, and CT scanned. I'm getting pretty tired of it now. I'm getting very frustrated. I'm tired of going to work in pain, being sick, nauseous, and just plain irritated. Please pray for me.
Now back to what I was saying before. It probably was not a good idea to be rehearsing dance in my condition at that time. I was in so much pain afterward. I could barely walk. I made it through the rest of the evening. However, Tuesday morning I could not walk much at all. I took my kids to school, and headed straight for the ER. I'm telling you, it took me about 10 minutes to walk from my car to ER doors at St. Luke's. Fortunately they got me right in, primarily because my blood pressure was elevated. I'm a mess ya'll. So anyway, long story short. They said that it's due to the tumor may be pressing up against several nerves in my lower back and torso. I have another doctor's appointment on Friday, so they just gave me pain killers, and muscle relaxers to help with the pain.
I am sitting at my computer right now in some pain as we speak. I have to work tonight. I can't take any of the really good pain meds that they gave me because I can't work and be on them. So I will take my Ibuprofen and pray that it gets me through the night.
Well that's my sad long story and I'm stickin' to it....LOL...I'm going to get ready for evening at work. I work with some awesome nurses and CA's so they will help me out, and take it easy on me. I love my job...

OMG...I FLOATED....
Hi all. I would like to telll you everything that has happend to me since my last blog update. However, I am rounding 40 years old, and so I really can't remember back that far. But as for now. I'll just tell you what happened today. Well, yesterday.
I had a great day of sleeping. Slept till around 318. I was a little late picking up my daughter, being that she gets out of school at 320pm. Ooooopsssyyy.. I arrive back home and made a wonderful, fabulous dinner of back pork steaks (no i did not eat any, you know I don't eat pork),, smothered in a creamy cheese and potato bake. I also made some broccoli and cheese noodles. Can you tell I like cheese alot. Heck yeah!!!!. I can throw down in the kitchen im tellin' you. Especially some mac and cheese, or lasagne, or I can bake chicken about 30,000 different ways. Ok, ok, sorry I kinda got off the subject a little. Anyway, I had good day. So I came to work and found out I had to float. Wow!!!. I was not so prepared for that. However, it turned out to be a great night. The ladies on 3Henson were so welcoming and so fun to work with. Kudos to them. I would'nt mind going back down there. We did play scatigories (is that spelled right?), however, I must admit, it was not as much fun as it is with my girls on 6Henson.
Well it is Thursday morning about 630, and I'm rounding off my lovely night. I will go home, get my daughter off to school, come back grab a quick shower, and go to bed. I'm getting very, very sleepy........So good night..
Ooops!......Don't forget the prozaac..
