Life with being Sick all the time!

Mar 12 2010

As everyone knows I just been home two weeks today after nearly a two week hospital stay which I nearly died several times on them. It all started with headaches, and ear ache and congestion. That is enough to set my lungs which already have MRSA in them overboard. When I left my house the first time by ambulance I was stating in the upper 60's sick and throwing up but still knew everything. I got sent back home by a doctor after about 3 days still very ill told I have lung cancer because I have overly enlarged lymph nodes in them. I was much to sick to come home I ended up throwing up all the way home they got me into bed and I don't remember anything after that. Apparantely I called some of the people here at the site and told them something was wrong and I was scared and lost and couldnt find anyone. That was how far outta it I was gone. My aide came in called the ambulance and shipped me right back out. They IV'ed me here and I don't remember any of it. Took me back to the ER where my aunt met them I still did not know anything my oxygen was in the low 50's and carbon dioxide was poisioning me. I was placed on one of their bi-paps that sucks stronger than mine and stayed on it and was admitted again. WHen I came to they explained without a biopsy they really did not know if that was lung cancer or not. I told them NO! I don't want one what is the use of it when they still cannot cure you that makes little or no sense to me. Besides stick a big needle into the lungs and pull it out knowing there is MRSA in them. THen if it gets into the blood stream I would be sepsis and die in no time at all. So they gave me new antibotics and tried to build my system back up then let me return home. After of course they highly suggested rehab and I highly refused it.

 Being back home of course doesn't mean being well for me. It never will at this point it means being able to get into the wheelchair and roll around. Being able to transfer to the bed and back. Getting my shower with the help of an aide amd coming on here and talking to friends. When your sick all the time you know there is never a moment your gonna feel well but hey you pray for the moments God allows you to not feel as sick and you grab them and hold on and do the best you can and really try to enjoy the moment. Anyone of you guys that ever talk to me knows I laugh alot. Even in the worst storms of my life I can find laughter and for that I am blessed. I also love deeply and when I say it its not just a word to me I truely mean it from the bottom of my heart.

My body maybe wearing out slowly but surely but I fill my spirit is so strong right now. Oh I feel as if it shines brighter than it ever has before. THis illness will not beat me because I know when its time for me to go I am going to a beautiful home prepared just for me. So there is no losing this battle I will win and be victourious. Thank all of you guys for always loving me and letting me know that you do. Please always know how much I love each and everyone of you. And lets enjoy every moment we have together.

 Lord I thank you for all you have given me and for allowing me to return home one more time and to MDJ where I Love to be. Thank you Lord for allowing me to be able to understand how these people really hurt. Lord allow people to see how serious MRSA is and the doctors to realize it cannot be shoved under a table. Lord I praise you immenesly for all you have given me and done for me. In Jesus most precious name.AMEN!!!!!

Oh Vivian my darling, this brought tears to my eyes, and the lesson I got from it is what you have always told me, or tried to get through to me when I told you I was not ready to lose you. You know I truly love you, don't you? I have not met anyone so strong, wise, and sweet in all my life!!!!
If I could, I would be the angel on your shoulder....I love you so very much and it sorrows me greatly that you have been suffering so and it hurts that the doctors don't seem to know enough to save you from that suffering, I am so sorry you had to go through that horror. You are indeed a strong spirited lady, one I admire for your strength and your love for people, and for understanding that this is only a stepping stone to that beautiful place which has been created for you, No...I STILL am not ready to lose such a bright light in my world....do you realize how much you light up this place?!!! GOD BLESS YOU DARLING VIVIAN...may you continue to find times to still "enjoy the moment"....we sure appreciate your love which is so real...and sweet...it's so apparent in everything you say...you are such a special friend, and loved by so many. HUGS and KISSES...your little Mona Cherie~

My Dear Friend, Viv. Tears fill my eyes and soul as I read what you have been through, all that you have shared of yourself, your life, your challenges, and your strength and sorrows and laughter through it all. I love you more than anything. I can never forget how you found my heart, that one night here and how much love you have given to me always. I hope you know, even when I'm not here, my heart is here thinking of you always that you find comfort and peace. I know time is of the esscence and I only pray, you will find as much love as you have given to each of us. Hugging you with all I am, forever.

Viv, I just read this and was moved to tears. I'm so sorry for what you have been through. And yet you find a calm through the storm. I've only known you a short while and you are the strongest person I know. I have been blessed with your words and company. I thank you. I can't wait to get to know you more and live and grow with you all here at MDJ. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
*Hugs and Love*
