In just a few minutes April will end. Oh, how can I forget April? You can go through life with minimal setbacks and then suddenly everything comes crashing down. Honestly I'm sick and tiered of being sick and tiered. It will be a year soon since my sweet Mother passed away and the grief has been continuous.My body has fallen apart and I feel numb from head to toes. Have you experienced challenging times when you just want to give up?
Just this month alone I had to take antibiotics for a UTI, had a procedure done for my bladder issue and was under local anesthesia. When I woke up I felt so carefree and I enjoyed the attention from the nurses but soon I was told that I would need to leave the premises with a catheter and for three days I had to navigate with my daily activities dragging a catheter. Needles to say the procedure has a 70% success rate and I was part of the 30% that the procedure did not work out for. A couple days later I was part of the choir for an evening service. I wanted to wear my contact lenses. I put in my left contact lens and my eye was burning so bad that the contact lens popped out of my eye, fell onto the floor and I couldn't find it. The next day I wore my right contact lens all day.When it came time to take it out, I couldn't get it out of my right eye. After thirty attempts I called a local eye clinic after hours and the ophthalmologist advised me to use eye drops to lubricate my eye. After a handful of tries, my right contact lens finally came out. I have keratoconus, thinning of the corneas so my eyesight isn't always the best. I've had digestive issues too and have had to eliminate all kinds of food from my diet to have good gut health.
In April I had an EMG to find out if my muscles and nerves were working properly because for months I was dealing with excruciating back pain that reduced my range of motion and made walking and standing difficult. Finally I was scheduled for an MRI for a brain and back scan and the results answered my question on why my back aches so much. As I sit back in a comfy pink lounge chair I reflect on how much better life is when we have our health. HEALTH IS WEALTH. Don't take your precious health for granted.
My wish is for all adults and children to live healthy and happy lives. Try your best to stay healthy and live life to the fullest despite challenges that may come your way.
