Rise Up

Note: Start at "The Why"

Hello, Happy Thursday!!! I hope your Thursday is going well and it is dry where you live. Here it is rainy and cold still. I am not a fan of the rain or cold or maybe its just when they combine forces. I left off on yesterday saying I would fill you in on something great that happened on Wednesday. Well.....I am alive and that is amazing!!! Wednesday night was long as I am in grad school and we met for what seemed like an eternity 9pm-11pm. Because I wanted to stay awake for class I did not take my meds until 11pm. WHEWWWWW that made for a rough night. However, I manged to get 5hours of sleep. I woke up this morinig with  my back very tight and my neck hurting and I am out of pain meds 🙍 But I decided  that today was going to be a good day. I work til 5:30 then plan on taking a nap before I teach tonight at 8pm. I can not wait for my nap!!! It's  going to be amazing. I can feel it! This morning when I woke up I started singing Rise Up by Andra Day.  I love how God gives me songs to hold to. Here are the lyrics: I highlighted the parts that meant something special to me

"You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains

 And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise upAnd I'll do it a thousands times again"                                         ⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩


Well, I got off a little early then met with a friend which made me a little late for my nap. But today my mom got my prescription of Tramadol filled so I am very thankful. I was able to take it and drink a spark (Advocare-I am a distributor) right before my nap. Because my nap time was cut short I decided to nap in my car. I keep blankets, socks, water and a snack just in case something happens. I grabbed my blanket and slept like a baby for about an hour. That nap helped me sooo much during class. So I have the mindset where if I am in pain then I do the harder songs so I can focus. My usual's know if the class is extra hard I'm in pain but have no fear I do give a modified version so that people don't pass out. During class I started getting into the songs and decided to jump. . . . bad idea!! OOOOH LAWD, sweet baby Jesus, barnacles, hotdogs, sugar plums....I had to look down because I was pretty sure my legs broke. Both of them! They didn't but I decided jumping probably wasn't that good of an idea I tried to do low impact the remainder of the class. I did well. They did amazing!!! They had no idea that I was in pain and they burned 773 calories in 58 min. I feel soooooo great. Amazing actually like I can do anything. On the way home I felt dizzy and nauseous so I decided to stop and check my bp 150/90. I know this is a little high because this is exactly what it was when I went to the doc in a box a few weeks ago.  I did jot this down for future references when I go to the doctor.  I was in a lot of pain then too so I am almost certain it is the same thing today. Because I took my meds around 6:45 I can not take it until I wake up in the morning. I am not looking forward  to tonight but...I'll rise up in spite of the ache! And for that I am thankful and I know whatever tomorrow holds....I will  make it!

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 ...
