How about that?..

What happens when you are forced to stop your life, literally in its tracks and steer the bull in an entirely opposite direction. I'm not going to say I'm sorry but my absence from my blog has been a challenging experience.

From the third of December to the ninth I was laid out in a hospital bed. Unknowing of what my problem was. When I found out it was nothing short of complicated, a simple procedure could fix it but why was it so complex. Why the extended stay when it's usually a one day stay? 

I know I'm probably confusing everyone, long story short. I had my gallbladder removed on the 6th. The doctors knew what the probably was but waited two days to take action. 

So along came Tuesday, I just wanted to go home, hold my son and watch Zootopia, Yeah I said Zootopia, but what your child want to watch you know. For my health, I had to suffer along with what the doctors felt was best. Anyway, Tuesday in the evening they removed the organ sucked it out of my belly button without blinking. 
I awoke in pain but confident that this was over and I could go back to my life. 

I was wrong, turns out those gallstones can leave, escape and move through the common bile duct where they don't belong and because they could not remove it while they were taking out my organ. I had to go in at the crack of dawn on Wednesday and have not only a scope but a catheter balloon shoved down my throat and all the way through my stomach to the duct. 
That only made the pain worse as my throat felt as though it was fisted by a big man hand. They finally two days later sent me home. In pain but cheerful I complied ( except I had to walk from the 1oth floor of this huge hospital to the "orange zone" where my ride had parked.  Talk about hospitality, It was clear that they had enough of me. 

The point, things can happen that make you stop your life and have to hit pause on the forward and take the road waving the red sign be ready for the unexpected because it is all around us. You might think you have a set path and it's clear. No Hunny, life is full of random surprises like the tallest rollercoaster that you could think of.You stop and get off for awhile and its calm but then you're thrown back on and not knowing where it'll take you. This was unexpected and hopefully the last time. I've had my fill of hospitals and surgery for awhile. 


Thanks guys:)

Just A Stay At Home?

I know what you guys are thinking! oh no she's not actually doing it. Shocker, Yes, I'm writing about being a mom. To even it out a stay at home parent. Haha. Did I catch you there, this isn't just to you females that don't break even for that 24/7 job that pays zero. I have to give attention where attention is due because a stay at home Dad?.. Yeah, that a thing too. Props to you daddies that do it! Alot of the time, well lets face it ALL of the time stay at home parents are underestimated and taken for granted because Hello, What do they do all day? Do you really want to know? The list is comprised of over 5,000 things. Oh yes, not an exaggeration either. There are the chores of the house, the dealings with the child/children. We all know how demanding they are. You can't go two seconds without being sucked back to a child's needs. When they start to crawl even walk. The Race is on, the great escape more like it. Once they can walk, they will be running fro...

Whispers To You

Shh. Do you hear that? Make sure you are listening in close, I'm only going to repeat this once. I'm saying this hushed now because its a secret and I only want you to know. Do you know why? Because you are the person I hold close, the one that I want to share things with. I know you won't tell a soul because if you did, you would betray my trust and once its gone you cannot get it back.  Did you get it? Did you hear my message clearly. Please nod if you understand. I have a fear that what I say might scare you away. I only want to be honest with you. Know that my intentions are pure . I only mean to make you see,  to understand the voices in my head. The ones that scream at me, I know that you cannot physically hear them but I would like for you to know what they say. The dark things they tell me to do. The desperation in their voices when I fight back. Its consuming me.  Please don't turn away, like I'm a freak, I'm only human and I cannot help...
