Back to Work

Today is my first day back to work since my sister’s wedding. Hopefully my lazy self will be able to survive it…lol. I’ve had way too many days off. Although my check is going to be thin next Friday, I’m glad that I took some time off to relax and rejuvenate. I needed it so…

The Ticker says…

Four months. Gulp.

I’m Mad at My Parents

I know all you parents are going to jump on the bandwagon and tell me that I shouldn’t be mad at my parents…but truthfully, I’m livid! Today I was in an EKG class with 2 other Nigerians who just happened to both have kids with sickle cell. The guy, his daughter of 9 months just…

Flying with Sickle Cell

As you know one of the precursors of an exacerbation is flying at high altitudes. Although a pressurized cabin is highly recommended—even this manages to trigger a sickle cell crises. Usually I’ve been fine flying with only minor L2s if anything but usually I didn’t live in California and have to fly back east on…

Ague

Hey peoples! The good news is that I’m still not sick. The bad news is that it’s been 3 months already. My intuition is silently ticking that there is a crises coming around the corner give or take 3-4 weeks. The thing about this is that although sometimes a crises catches me totally unawares, for…

Sex With Sickle Cell

I’m a very sexual person, so this has been one of the harder things to deal with about sickle cell. It sucks that when you are in the throes of a passionate encounter, you have a greater chance of getting and L2 or higher or even get thrown into a full blown out crises. Here’s…

Celebration

Diary of a Crises

I wrote this years ago, what was going through my mind when a crises hit me. It’s kinda long, but really loopy. It’s also really convoluted, I wrote this under the influence, I’ve tried editing but even I can’t decipher the craziness that is the talk between my brain, my body and my spirit. Tuesday…

Schmoozers

I got my first blogger award for this blog. The Real Life Drama Queen has given me the Schmoozer Award for being a blog that rocks:) Here is what she said: You all know and love her as the writer of The Bad Girls Guide. But what not everyone knows is that she has another…

Mr. Wonderful

On my other blogs, he’s known either as Norio or the Fiance, so in case I start inter changing them, it’s actually the same person. Today is his 30th birthday and I’m up because I’m so excited to enact all the BIG PLANS I have for it. We met online (yes to the skeptics, online…
