THIS HAS BEEN A TOUGH WEEK

I am so exhausted today!!  I feel real bad because I am unable to help out with my grandkids as I desire.  I really felt like putting in for early retirement and just coming home.  I have 26 years, need 30 years to retire, but will not have the age then.  Read a lot about the parathyroid.  Said it can make you tired also.  I am in a catch 22 situation - kidneys failing, parathyroid acting up, all making me tired tired tired too tired.  Started the week out with a right twisted knee and left ailing hip.  Went to chiropractor on Wednesday and now today I am feeling better in knee and hip.  I know troubles don't last always, but writing about it does help.  I do this all the time.  Just started sharing my thoughts to help others with similar problems.  It is so therapeutic for me to write what I feel and rationalize the appropriate action forward. 

 

Looking forward to my new BOOBIE #5 - coming on Saturday.  THANK U LORD FOR HER SAFETY AND HEALTHY DELIVERY!  Bless her and mom to be alright.  Know the Lord is in control.  He will see that Camille is safely delivered to her mother and father's arms.

 

My body is reacting to me eating the things I am not suppose to eat!!!!  DUH!!!  Gas, bloating, etc etc etc.  Really have to get this diet thing right.  Ankles are swelling again.  Getting too much sodium in diet.  Have to check again.

Let's see

GLUTEN FREE

LESS PHOSPHORUS

MORE ANTIOXIDANTS

LESS PROTEIN

LESS SODIUM

DAIRY FREE

LESS SWEETS

LESS SALTY FOODS

NO CHOCOLATE :-(

 

WOW!  I have a bit to contemplate.  But I stand assured my God who has been by my side since being diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematus (SLE) at the age of 18 will sustain me as he has thus far.  That knowledge is what keeps me going and coming everyday.  I go to work because I know God will focus my mind and give me the strength to move forward, one step at a time.  I had to stop 2 times on my way to a meeting at the other end of the building.  I wanted to cry right there.  But the grace and mercy of God kept me courageous and with the appropriate attitude.  My problem is my problem - not those who work with me.  I try to be positive everyday and encouraging to someone each day!  That's my mission.

 

All for now.
