This week has been a roller coaster of emotions and at one point I finally reached emotional overload.
Monday was great, Rosanne and I went kayaking at Wrightsville Beach and it was a first for me, 2 hours of sunshine, cool sea breeze and taking in all that God offers yet we so often overlook. I can’t remember when I felt so alive or had such a good time and I hope to go again sometime soon. Wednesday I over did it and by the end of the day I had forgot what day it was and was in bed when Rosanne came to pick me up for church. Thursday I had an appointment at the doctor for my second round of injections, I picked my sister up and we spent the day together. After waiting 30 minutes I checked with the nurse only to find out that they had me down for all the wrong meds and I had to wait for them to straighten out everything. Once that was done I still had to kill a couple of hours before I could get the injections(they have to warm to room temperature) which meant that I had to rearrange the rest of my day. Add to that the a/c in my car isn’t blowing as cold as it should and I was starting to hurt more and more as the day went by. I finally got the shots around 3 and from there ran a few more errands finishing up at the eye-mart for new glasses, this is where I lost it. I was really hurting, nauseous and very tired and I was trying hard to keep my emotions in check but broke down when the lady apologized for the wait. By now it was nearing 5 o’clock and I still had to take my sister home and then get myself home as well, I would have given just about anything to have had someone else doing the driving. As always when I’m feeling overwhelmed I turn my thoughts to things I am thankful for and believe me, getting home safely was right up there. The hard part about these shots is that my pain increases for a few days and I am stiff and swollen at the injection sites. I have several things that I need to ask the doctor about when I see him in 2 weeks but until then I still have things that need to be done and God always gives me the ability to do what I have to do. Sometimes I feel really sad but don’t know why and I feel guilty about feeling sad because God has blessed me in so many ways and so often. There are so many things to work through but I have people everywhere praying for me and that makes it so much easier.
P.S- I’m looking for someone that can do some proof reading for me before I can put the past years blog into book form. If you know of anyone please let me know.
God Bless
