Journal Entry for June 27, 2007 Mood
Wednesday, June 27, 2007

Hello everyone

 

Sorry I haven't been able to write for I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and just got home yesterday.  I got really sick on the 10th and was not able to respond to anyone that talked to me. Then for 4 days I didn't know when my husband, daughter and friends were there I couldn't remember things that had happened to me and why I was in the hospital.  I was dehydrated and couldn't move my legs or walk and was sent to 3 different hospitals. The hospital we have a health plan with was full and couldn't take me until the 13th. The first hospital didn't have the equipment  or doctor that was needed to check and see what was going on the second wouldn't do much because we didn't have insurance.  I finally got to University Hospital where we orginaly wanted to go on the 13th.  There I got taken care of and they put me in the therapy unit to teach me how to walk again.  I'm still not able to walk on my own so I'm in a wheel chair and use a walker.  They did several blood test and each time it came back positive for Lupus and Rhuematoid Arthritis. They ran all kinds of test to find out why I can't walk and they came back negetive other than the immune problems.

Hello friends

Sorry its been a while since I last wrote.  I have not been doing well the for the last 2 weeks.

I went to the doctors today because I keep getting weaker and am having severe headaches and dizzy spells that are not getting any better.  She wants me to go for a Cat Scan of the brain to see whats causing the headaches.  I also found out that my mammogram came back saying that I have several clusters in my left breast. Please pray for me as I go through these trying times that the Lord would be pleased to give me the strength that I need to get through the day with all of the pains I'm having going through out my body right now.  I'm not sure when I will be able to get back on line for I have to take each day one at a time. So with that said I want to thank all of you for being here to talk to.

Love yall

Cindi

I slept better last night than I did the night before.  I woke this morning still having dizziness and back pain and having pain in my shoulders and legs. 

My hips hurt this morning again.  My hands and feet feel stiff this morning, my head still hurts also. 

 8:17 AM

I’m going back to bed I’m feeling real tired and am hurting.  My stomach is hurting along with my back and sides. I’m getting a little nauseated.

 9:38 AM

I tried to lie down but I’m in too much pain, and I’m not feeling to great.  The way I’m feeling right now is not normal, my body feels so strange like I’m just floating (I haven’t taken any pain medicine so that’s not why I feel this way) and am having pains shooting up and down my legs and hips.  My head feels awful and my feet and hands are starting to get really stiff and are starting to feel numb.  When I lie down I’m having a hard time with pains in my stomach.    I’m having some shortness of breath and feel weak.  There’s something going on with my head I’m having to many headaches and dizziness this has been going on now for 2 weeks and don’t seem to be getting any better.   The back of my head and neck hurts and I’m starting to have a few pains in my chest again. I’m going to try and lie back down for a while. 

11:46 AM

Lying down and sleeping helped some, I’m still stiff in my hands and feet, and am nauseated and light headed still.  My head also is still hurting as is my back and sides.     

2:29 PM

I’m still feeling light headed, and my head still hurts, my legs and back are hurting still.   I'm really getting tired of this.

    I feel so bad you are hurting and sick. I wish I could offer some advice that would really help but I am not familiar with lupus or arthritis. I will pray for you. Hang in there...sometimes it takes a little bit to get the drs on the same page and get some help and answers. Trying speaking healing scriptures over your body too. Try this link to Joyce Meyer's healing scriptures. http://www.joycemeyer.org/OurMinis...

    Thank you for your prayers. Prayer is a HUGE part of my life I know that the Lord hears my prayers and will and can heal me. Thank you for bringing to mind the scriptures that I have read many times. They are a constant reminder of HIS Love.
