Straight Shot

Note: Start reading at "The Why"

What Happened:
Today was  a normal day. By normal I mean feet burning, legs hurting blah blah blah. I went to work, taught a boot camp class then went to another fitness class. On the way to the class my body felt really odd. My face was a little numb feeling and the left side of my neck had like a shooting pain going up. I just massaged it and shook it off. I started class and begin to jump. There was a sharp pain that went from my left heel to my hip. It startled me and I stopped briefly. It actually scared me. My left arm went numb. I tried to keep smiling and just instruct so that the class couldn't tell I was in excruciating pain. I attempted to turn around and give a que and the pain shot straight up from my foot to the top of my head. I was absolutely terrified. I knew then I could not continue the class. I stood very still and told the class that I was sorry but I would have to end class. Luckily two of my three original members who had been there from when I started teaching were in class tonight. I told them what happened and that I could not move my left side. They helped me to the car and drove me home. I attempted to jump from the garage up the step into the house....fail! I almost fell! 😁😁😁It's ok you can laugh. I did. They did too. So after they got me into the house and onto the couch, well halfway on the couch, they called my mom. This was very much against my wishes but I guess I couldn't be alone. My mom came as well as my nephew. They stayed with me for a long time until I  basically had to assure her I would be fine and she could leave. She left at about midnight. I crawled with one leg to the bathroom and pulled myself up, I even washed my hands. I felt so accomplished. I crawled to my room, changed my clothes and went back to the couch and slept well.

How I felt:
At the beginning of this post,in case you missed it, I was TERRIFIED!! I was scared that this would be the night whatever this is took me out! Or that I wouldn't be able to walk, or talk or move my hands.. After I went to the bathroom and re-found independence I felt proud. I also felt blessed to have friends in my class that are true friends and a mom who will drop whatever without being asked. I am so incredibly blessed beyond measure! God is good and I know He did not bring me this far to leave me now.   I know my healing is on the way.

  1. There's a song titled "Bigger" and all she's simply saying is God you are BIGGER than anything that I/we may face!! One thing I know he's still in the healing business and all it takes is one touch from him. Our God is Bigger, Better, Greater!!

The Longest Night

Note: Start reading at "The Why" What Happened: Two days ago I quit taking my Neurontin cold turkey. I did not know that you were suppose to wen yourself off gradually........I went from taking 1500mg to nothing. Help me Holy Spirit, Sweet baby Jesus! I need the father, the son and the Holy Ghost!!! All three right now! I am sweating like I  have been working out, my head hurt soooo bad and I cant stop trembling. This post wont be long because my vision is a little blurry but I wanted to write to explain the way I feel right now. It is 3 am and I have been up since 11 pm trying to not throw up or call my mom crying. I googled reactions to coming off of  Neurontin and I match most of them. Oh dear LAWD!!!! If this is what it feels like to be on drugs and come off....Never get on them but if you do just stay on them (yes this feeling is that bad). Every time I close my eyes there are images of Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd and other characters from Looney Tunes but only half of th...

It's Valentine's Day

Note: Start at "The Why" What Happened: It's Valentine's Day!!!! A special day, right? Well not so much for the single and shut in the house. Blah! I was off work all of 3 hours and I was bored! After texting my colleges (The Dream Team) and knowing I wouldn't be there for 2 days I began to just figure it out myself. So I opened my google search engine. (I know I know the worst thing you can do) What causes extreme and prolonged muscle cramps? The possibilities were so vague and lets just be real I wasn't  going to read all of them. So...gift time. Yes I am single but my dad gets me a gift for Valentine's Day every year. Outside of one year this is the only one I've ever gotten. This one is special because it's from my daddy. The one man I know will never let me down, who will always be there no matter what. Who other than God, is the only man that loves me unconditionally, my daddy! I checked my phone and nothing. Hmmm, so I text my sibling ...

Reflecting

Hello everyone!!! I have spoken of my relationship with God in a few post but I wanted to make it clear!! I am a Christian, non-denominational, although I belong to a baptist church now. I have had several moments where I have clearly heard from God and consider myself to try and live a life pleasing to Him. Do I mess up? YES! Do I fall short? YES! Does He keep loving me? Thankfully YES!! With that being said I know that God is a healer, deliverer, way maker, provider, protector, source of peace. He is anything and everything. Through this journey (115 days) I have realized that God speaks to me sometimes through songs. I guess because I love music. I have referenced this in a couple posts. Well today was no different. In church the choir sang    Made A Way  by Travis Greene. The lyrics that really hit home for me are                               "You made a way, I don't know how but you did ...
