[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.
