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!!

OMG! OMG! OMG! 5-1

Note: Start at "The Why" What Happened: Today was an ok day. I worked all day chasing after clients. I taught one fitness class that uses equipment that I have to grip and hit. The pain usually comes when I hit the equipment together so I have learned to hold my left pointer finger up instead of allowing it to grip with the others. The pain is a radiating vibrating pain that goes down my finger. It is excruciating, but I have learned to adapt. In this class we also sit on the ground which is becoming harder and harder. I now have severe pain in my hips and back when sitting down. But I made it through the day! The class! and now its time for another class that requires more equipment, heavy equipment like big tractor tires and  such. Well I loaded all 4 tires, plus heavy weighted bars and various other equipment. Got to the location feeling ok so I moved the 30 plus chairs and 8 tables that needed to be moved. Luckily my friend, my right hand woman in class showed up and h...

A Village

Note: Start reading at "The Why" What Happened: Today I ask 6 friends to pray and fast with me for a healing. The bible says when two or more are together that God is there. I need God to be here. I need Him to heal my body. I am at a loss and my body is shutting down quickly. Every step is like fire, hot sand and blisters but my bones get so cold. I hate walking. But I will not quit. I have thought about a wheelchair or crutches just to have relief. Some relief would be so nice right now. But I can walk so I will. My work load has increased drastically and it is so painful.  I think about calling in every morning. But bills wont get paid that way. I can do it. I just have to will myself. My support group will help. I am so thankful that I have friends that will be there an pray with and for me. How I felt: hopeful.

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 ...
