Array ( [sid] => 2730 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Another Life Obstacle to Endure… [time] => 2002-08-25 07:19:40 [hometext] => I was finally given a diagnosis, after fighting with pain and other discomforts. I found this out on Thursday the 22 of August. I am still digesting the info. Kind of processing it now, and learning to accept it, and deal with it. My twenty years of working at a health care facility has prepared me, more then I knew, and this is what has prompted this write. I had one battle before, but that was eradicated with surgery years later. But now, this is a battle that will be every day, and just at my age is not normal nor an easy fate to accept, then it would be if I would be 70 plus years old. So I am just putting some thoughts to write here, just needed to get it out. Sorry if I got long, just the way it happens.
[bodytext] => I start again in my life to move on, to make it better
Sometimes, the obstacles put in our lives seem to overwhelm
God plays an important role for me, even when I am at my worse tether
Now is one of those times, I must be strong all the way around
For the news of yet another obstacle, this one medical, is put in HIS realm
I made it thru a disease years ago, went thru years of pain, till the disease they found
Hmmm… Here I go again, this time, this one is chronic; one I have to endure
I guess I never thought I would go thru this again, let alone this one is here to stay
I’m putting to words the feelings of what I do know and fear
Somehow hoping I can be convincing, to others, mainly to ensure
My inner being, within my heart that my life changed today
Putting my faith to God, but also to those real friends, who are there
Give me support and help me be strong, pray for me, and maybe a hug too
Living alone isn’t so bad, but with this new medical obstacle, I feel all alone
Crying helps to relieve the stress of knowing and not
For even though no physical human is with me, wishing I had that mate
I am with hope and faith for God hadn’t forgot
That there is a time and place for all that takes place, all that is known
That I am going to get thru this, make it; accept this medical fate
Just be there for me, pray and words to encourage
So I can be strong, learn to live with my medical disorder, not to be discouraged
To say at times to grow old before your time, or I’m an old soul
Didn’t realize this was so true, for something in me did grow old before my time
It hits young active gals, with a disease meant for the bedridden and geriatric
Idiopathic, unknown causes of why, so now my insides took its toll
Seemly my outer shell looks younger then thirty-eight, more so, a 20yr.old chick!
My, oh my, how that time does fly… the biological clock sure does chime…
I’m accepting more information of my condition
So now, I can learn more about how to make me a portrait rendition!!
My mental state will play an important part, as it will be emotionally too
It’s time again to endure, and mature those abilities wide
To make my being strong inside and out, to give more of my self to confide
In those I find trust, honesty, support, for always God was there and knew
All our ways of life and what is to come, giving me the strength to grow
Open my heart, mind; letting me see more of others who also sow
Their pain and trials to share in their lowest moments as this
I know I have the touch of God’s loving Angels, their wings they do kiss
My pains and doubts away for awhile, so I can see sunshine
And a rainbow of hope, faith in those I care about, knowing I will be just fine.

Amber Rose Yeager – August 24, 2002
