Well it has been a long time since my last post. I have had A LOT of health problems, and I have been unable to keep up with a most of the things that make me happy, and that I enjoy. In August of 2017 – I was bedridden for three and a half months. I was having a lot of migraines which I have suffered from for over 13 years, but these were more painful than usual. I was having a lot of nausea and digestive issues that literally had me in a fetal position it was so bad. The other symptom I had was fainting which was dangerous when you live in a house with a lot of stairs. I began to have a lot of bruises from my falls. Of course, very fatigued, weak, and no appetite. I lost about 24lbs in that time frame. The doctors finally figured out that the cause was some medication that was interacting with some other medication that I was taking. So mid December I began to feel a lot better and was glad because I could get up and go outside the house. I was looking forward to Christmas as well. On December 24th which was a Sunday I was cooking Christmas dinner and I walked into the kitchen to check the stove and fainted. I broke my left foot in 4 places. Right behind 3 toes, and the main metatarsal bone behind my big toe. It stuck straight up into the air. I couldn’t believe it. My husband walked in the door coming home from church right as it happened, and off we went to the emergency room. We were there for 6 hours waiting for a poditrist to show up. Finally one did and deadened the foot and actually twisted my foot to get the bone sticking up to go back into place. Then he wrapped it up very tightly. He said I would need surgery in a couple or three days. So on the 27th I had to go into the hospital to have surgery with all the fun of plates, pins, and screws. So back in bed I went for the next 3 and 1/2 months. I was slightly miserable and in a lot of pain. Being an alcoholic though truly helped me thru this process because I was able to take it one day at a time mentally in my mind. I could not fathom thinking ahead and getting overwhelmed, but staying in the moment helped extremely well. The slogan “Easy does it” was very helpful too. When my mind would start spinning with all these what if’s, and all these things I needed and wanted to do but couldn’t I thought of Easy does it. I slowed down my mind. I let it rest in the moment realizing I was powerless over the situation and that I was right where I was suppose to be for that moment.
