I know some of you have been concerned of my whereabouts. Thank you.
A few of you know exactly where I've been and what I've been doing...thank you so much for being here for me.
I'm not a person who likes to show their weakness and I HATE for people to take pity on me, so PLEASE don't.
My life has changed since you last heard from me...
First of all (and I have yet to take the pics off my camera, so expect more soon) the Andre Iguodala Celebrity Weekend was this weekend and ya girl took pictures with Morris Chestnut and Chico Benymon (Spencer from Half and Half).
I took the boys and my nephew to the celebrity basketball game Saturday and we had a good time. We got to meet Dee Brown, newly signed to the Washington Wizards and Channing Frye of the Portland Trailblazers (that dude is 6'11 WOW).
That was the highlight of my weekend. The low?
I went to the doctor on Wednesday and he didn't like my lab results and he told me that if the vascular surgeon ok'd my fistula's maturity, that he wanted me to start my hemodialysis treatment on Friday.
I think that for all I've been through physically and mentally, I'm a trooper. Let me tell you...when it comes to dialysis, I'm a PUNK. I didn't cry, well, not much. That shit HURTS! They put two not so small needles in you in the same location, every other day. There's a topical creme that kind of numbs the area for you, but it does nothing for the pain you feel after the treatment.
And it wears me out physically. I'll be doing this 3 times a week for 4 hours until I receive my healing (Yes, I'm STILL believing for it!).
Trust me when I tell you that I take some of your words of encouragement and support in to the center with me. (I love each one of you for it).
Right now the biggest effects it has on me is I get REALLY tired fast now and I have muscle spasms/cramps and it's hard for me to sleep. My appetite is almost nil (I'm making myself eat Kesha dammit! LOL) and I've lost some weight.
They say in about 2 weeks my body will adjust and I'll feel better. In the meantime, I have some other issues that concern me, so I'll be visiting another doctor on Friday.
That's all for me...What's been up with you since we last talked?
Oh, and I'll still be able to make the Labor Day Weekend out east!!
