Please, Let's Back Mom Up!
HELLO FB FAMILY, SORRY I HAVEN'T POSTED LATELY! I HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOME VERY EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL PROBLEMS. WELL ON 8/23/14 4 MONTHS POST-OP. THE PAIN HAS HAD MANY LEVELS MORE THAN I EVER IMAGINED! I'M NOW IN P.T., BACK @ MY DR., BUT WILL STILL BE UNDER NEUROSURGEONS CARE FOR UP TO 18 MONTHS. EVERY 3 MONTHS X-RAYS AND @ 1 YEAR A COMPLETE SCAN! I'LL BE GETTING A TENS UNIT & PLEASE PRAY IT IS COVERED BY MEDICARE, B/C ONLY ONE COMPANY WILL ACCEPT MEDICARE! IT IS TO HELP BY STIMULATING NERVES AND MUSCLES TO HELP W/ THE SORENESS AND PAIN. THEY ARE WORKING ON PLACING ME A ORDERED NOW. PLEASE, ALSO PRAY THAT MEDICARE WILL COVER MESSAGE THERAPY! I'M A PERFECT CANIDATE B/C: NEUROSURGEON, P.T., R.A., PAIN DR.AND A FEW OTHER SOURCES WILL CONTACT THEM B/C I NEED IT FOR MEDICAL REASONS. SOMETIMES, I CAN HARDLY MOVE! EACH LEVEL OF HEALING IS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PAIN. I TALKED TO MEDICARE BY HAVING A DR. JARRELL PRESCRIPTION, P.T., R.A. AND ALL THEIR NOTES. THE EXTENT OF MY SURGERY THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM HAVING IT AUTHORIZED AND THE DR.'S OFFICE WILL SET IT ALL UP FOR ME! THANK GOD!
I HAVEN'T BEEN THE SAME SINCE SURGERY AND I HAVE NOTICED IT GETTING WORSE. THE FIRST EPISODE WAS 4/4/14 AND MY LEFT EYE DROOPED, RIGHT LIMBS WENT NUMB, COULDN'T WRITE AND JUST A VERY WEIRD FEELING. I TOLD MY NEUROSURGEON AND HE SAID IT HAD NOTHING TO DUE W/ THE SURGERY I WAS HAVING! COOL! SINCE, THEN THE SYMPTOMS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE, AND WHEN YOUR SON HAS TO GET YOU OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND TELL YOU HOW TO GET HOME? HE SAID MOM YOUR BRAINS NOT WORKING RIGHT! I TALKED TO MY R.A. WHOM I TRUST W/ MY LIFE, AND WE BOTH DECIDED IT WAS MORE THAN JUST THE " THE LUPUS FOG". (YES, THAT IS THE MEDICAL TERMONOLOGY FOR IT) THEY LUPUS ATTACKS OUR BRAINS AS WELL AS EVERY ORGAN OF OUR BODY. SO I WENT TO THE NEUROLOGIST. I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW TO SPELL & I WAS A ABOVE AVERAGE SPELLER. YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT SLOW IF I'M WRITING WHAT YOU SAY DOWN, AND SAY IT WORD FOR WORD. I GET DISORIENTED AND CAN'T GET OUT OF WHERE I AM (PARKING LOT/ BLANK OUT OF WHAT WE ARE DOING @ THE TIME! I'LL FORGET HOW TO GET SOMEWHERE I GO ON A REGULAR BASIS, I STILL HAVE THE NUMBNESS, EYES ARE TWITCHING, SOMETIMES I HAVE TREMORS SO BAD I CAN'T WRITE. I'LL BE TALKING AND JUST STOP TALKING B/C I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. I MISPLACE EVERYTHING I FEEL LIKE I'M WALKING IN CIRCLES. MY HANDS AND FEET ARE COLD AND NUMB,MY PERSONALITY AND EMOTIONS ARE TOTALLY OUT OF WHACK! MY GUT TELLS ME SOMETHING IS WRONG! I WENT AND DID A FEW REMEMBERING, DRAWING, SENSATION,ETC. I HAD TO REMEMBER 3 WORDS: APPLE AND TABLE WERE 2 AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME STILL WONDER WHAT THAT OTHER WORD IS. HE RUBBED SOMETHINGS ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES. I FELT THE RIGHT LIKE NORMAL, BUT WHEN HE DID THE REFLEX ON MY LEFT LEG APPROX. 5 TIMES AND IT NEVER BUDGED. THE RIGHT LEG FLEW UP W/O ME NOTICING IT. I GO ON TUES 8/12/14 @ 11:00 A.M. FOR A EEG & @ 4:30 P.M. I HAVE A MRI ON MY BRAIN. THIS WILL TELL IF I HAD A STROKE BACK ON 4/4/14 WHEN I KINDA THOUGHT THAT WAS WHAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN, IF I'VE HAD MORE STROKES THAN THAT AND NOT KNOWN, OR AM I HAVING MINI STROKES. IT WILL TELL WHAT DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE & THAT IS ALL I KNOW. I GO BACK ON 8/14/14 @ 10:30 A.M. FOR THE RESULTS!
I HAD TO TAKE A LOAN OUT TO GET ALL THE SCHOOL: SUPPLIES, SEVERAL UNIFORMS (I GOT TWINS & DOUBLE EVERYTHING), MY YOUNGEST A FEW THINGS,BOOK BAGS, LUNCH BOXES, BELTS, SOCKS, SHOES AND UNDERWEAR. *****************I STILL HAVE TO GET A FEW MORE UNIFORMS, 2/ GYM OUTFITS, 2/ I-PAD RENTAL AND I SEEN SOMETHING ABOUT A SCIENITIFIC CALCULATOR.
THE TWINS BIRTHDAY WAS 7/18/14 AND THEY WANTED SEPARATE PARTIES FOR THE 1ST TIME. I DID A GOOD PARTY, BUT I WORKED IT SO IT WASN'T ANYMORE THAN I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE TOGETHER. I TOLD MYSELF IF I HAVE KIDS CERTAIN THINGS WERE GONNA BE AND A MEMORY OF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS A TRADITION FOR THEM.
I DO HAVE 3 WONDERFUL THINGS GOING RIGHT IN MY LIFE THAT IS MY KIDS! THEY HAD STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKEN CARE OF ME, CHORES, HELPING, AND MAKING SURE i'M OKAY! I'M SO PROUD OF THEM FOR ALL 3 BEING EXCELLENT STUDENTS, KIND, LOVING, FUNNY, CARING, BEING ALL MINE, THEIR OWN UNIQUE PERSONALITY. THANK YOU GOD FOR ALLLOWING ME THESE 3 REMARKABLE KIDS! EVERY THING I DO I DO IT FOR YOU! I LOVE YOU RYLAND, DRAKE & CREAD! THANK YOU!!!
I JUST WISH SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT SHOULD BE A HUGE ROLL IN THE TWINS LIFE ISN'T! HE IS MISSING OUT, BUT MY JOB IS TO MAKE SURE ALL 3 OF THEIR NEEDS ARE MET. IT IS SAD WHEN A ADULT IGNORES THE NEEDS OF HIS OWN BLOOD! I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU COREY! I ALSO OWE ALL MY FB FAMILY A HUGE THANK YOU! GOD BLESS AND I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.PLEASE POST, LIKE,COMMENT, SHARE AND SEND TO FRIENDS! THANK YOU TO ALL THE SPECIAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN THERE FOR OUR FAMILY!
LOVE, THE COLLINS CLAN!!!!
