My Blessings
So I have been dealing with this weird case of what I thought was just vertigo for a week or so. Monday I ended up in the ER and got admitted and well we will just say it was a cluster fuck beyond explanation. But after checking myself out of the hospital because of said cluster fuck I went to see my family doctor and finally figured out what is going on. It’s not a huge deal but could be serious and it seems I have an infection that will take a while to get rid of and I’m sort of down for the count for a while. I majorly over did it yesterday mainly because I was feeling so bad and I was afraid I’d end up back in the hospital and needed to make sure things are in order. Today I was a slug and while I still am not feeling any better I at least feel better about the way things are here.
Now I titled this post my blessing because this little scare has made me realize how many I have. The hubs took the week off work and has done anything and everything I’ve needed including letting me do the things I probably shouldn’t have. That’s because out of anyone in this world he knows I deal with stress and fear by action. Riley had his 9th birthday this week and all he’s been worried about is me feeling bad and hasn’t said boo about having to put off his bday party with the family. Piper has snuggled with me watching movies and been my helper when I need to bend over. My sister took care of the kids and has been checking on me and will be taking me to doctor appointments this week. (They don’t want me driving while taking Valium for the vertigo.. go figure) My ex took off work while I was in the hospital and took care of the minions for us. I’ve had old friends texting and messaging me daily to yell at me to rest. Offers to bring us dinner from people I haven’t seen in 20 years. A whole slew of people wishing Riley a happy birthday to try to make his day more special. Heck, even the dogs have been my constant companions keeping an eye on me. I’m lucky, what we were afraid was something truly serious is so far more of just a weird thing. … I’m sorta known for getting weird medical things. Even my 12-year-old nephew made a comment about how I always have the weird medial stuff..lol
Sometimes you need to have your ass kicked a little bit to stop and recognize how blessed you are by the people in your life. Tonight even with the spinning of the room I will count my blessing.
