Back Again

Well, the last week has been rough to say the least. I’m going to explore the triggers of my last crises as I usually do in my next post, but this one was really, really awful. The last time I was sick, I thought it was my worst time ever…but this time, this puts everything…

The Patient

I think I’m officially the only vented person that took a picture as well. What a dork!

Mahalo!

The flight to Hawaii was really long, about 8 hours in total. I was worried that my sickle cell would flare up but it held up. The main thing is that I can’t go into the water as much as I would like to because my core body temperature drops when I’m immersed in water.…

What’s up!

Okay, okay, it’s been a minute. I’ve been fine sickle cell wise though. Just sorting through some other issues that have me not having that much time online like I used to. Anyway, this is a shout out to one of my sickle cell warriors, Khiana! Stay strong girl and hope you get well soon.…

Admitting I’m Not a Super Woman

I was at work last night, another late 12 hour nocturnal shift. Everything was going okay until around 4am when I got hit by major pains. It’s unethical to be popping pain pills when I have the lives of other people in my hands so I just gritted my teeth and tried to bear it.…

Let’s go somewhere hot…

Help!

Crises #1 of 2008: Triggers

Okay, so I’m trying to think about everything that contributed to this last crises, so that I can do better with the ‘taking care of myself’ part and prevent another one from happening. Working Overtime: Overtime pay rocks, but the OT on my body was a bad call. I thought that I was fine, actually…

I’m Alive…Yay!

Hey peoples, Do I really post that infrequent that noone knows I’ve been out? Dayum! New Year Resolution, post more often. I was sick in the hospital since the 5th, not a cool way to start the year but it has been my modus operandi as of the last few years. Anyway, there is alot…
