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:)

The Things We May Never Know. Curiosity.

I know curiosity has killed the cat over and over. Maybe, even longer than 9 times. But, our curiosity seems to never fade. As humans we always find things to oogle over. The things that make us question what is acceptable. Its actually quite funny. The big picture, I mean. How we stop and stare and ponder over the things we may never fully know about. There's a lot isn't there? We may stop and question things we desire the answers too. What about the questions that do not have answers the ones that leave open ended responses to be filled with the imaginative curiosity. Those my friends are the ones to ponder over.  We typically assume that every question has an answer, but do they? Do they have to? and (Every so popularly) Why? Like you, I'm not sure of that. Not all questions have answers just like not all actions come with reason. Some times the things we don't understand happen out of circumstance with no reason or meaning. They just do.  I know that ...

Brush the Dust off

Brush The Dust Off November 11, 2018 | M. Jackson Brush the dust off darling, the pain won't last long. Brush the dust off honey and smile, your beauty will mask the pain. Brush the dust off love, Pain is just a temporary burden, your strength is long lasting. Brush the dust off and stand up,and love yourself. Brush the dust off and walk along the path that was meant for you. Things may seem hard now but its only temporary, like the dust on your clothes, the darkness can be wiped away. You can start again and you can find the light. Too many times the fight is harder than you think and giving up seems easy but fighting gives life, changes and shapes you into a hardened creature with the world on her back. Its easier to give up but giving them a reason to stare is all worth while. We are meant to shine, not to be stifled by "I cannot" or " you cannot" when in reality you can and you will. You are meant...

Why Do I Care So Much?

Why do I care so much, why do I give a damn? All I seem to do is try and try to be there and to give my undivided self to everybody. I think I love so intensely that even the slightest inconvenience to someone that I care about is debilitating and tears me to pieces. Naturally, I do not want to see anyone hurt, sad. If I can't help, Im helpless. Hopeless and feeling like a waste of space. Why do I care so much? Maybe it is a gift. Maybe it is a cruel injustice that's been given. Then I have to stop and think. If not me, then who? If I wasn't there to care about someone, would someone else. I may not be the best person to ask for advice or the greatest friend who never screws up, but I have love, an open heart and the open mindedness of someone who has never known pain. Even though, I've been through trials, heart break and gut wrenching tears. Every chance shouldn't be the last, every love deserves attention. So Why do I care so much? Why does plain Jane, lil old me...
