Good Health Praise God

There are times where I have wondered “how different would my life be if I never dealt with sickness?” If only I knew the answer to my own question…

No matter what, I am a fighter. Even when times get tough, I fight with all I have in me.

Worked while Struggling

Even when I was struggling and didn’t know what was wrong with me, I was still showing up to work everyday.

There was days where I couldn’t walk up the stairs because my legs couldn’t move like that. My ankle hurt so bad that I limped everywhere. I had a hard time sitting down and getting up… it was a STRUGGLE. Everyone knew the pain I was in, yet I didn’t stop coming into work. There were days where I wanted to call in, but I didn’t because I didn’t want to be “that person”.

There would be days when I got home from work, I would take a 4 hour nap. I would be in such a deep sleep that my grandma didn’t have the heart to wake me up for dinner. She would say “you looked so tired I didn’t want to wake you”. Somehow I woke up almost 20-30 minutes after they started eating (which I wasn’t at all concerned about). After I ate dinner, I would go straight back to bed. That’s how tired I was. I didn’t understand it, but my body was exhausted. That was my on going schedule for WEEKS. My body was just so exhausted that all I did was rest.

Symptom Struggles

The worst part about the medications is the side effects. Insomnia has been a BIG struggle lately… thankfully, I have noticed that when I’m more active throughout the day, I get a better nights rest… There can be some nights though, that I won’t fall asleep till almost 5am and get maybe 3 hours of sleep. It’s not fun! I used to be able to run off of 6-7 hours of sleep. Now, I sleep for about 10-11 hours if I’m able to… believe me, I know that’s a lot! Somehow, my body has been needing it…

At the end of the day, even though I don’t know what the next few months or even years look like….I know good things are in store and that the Lord has a beautiful plan 🙏
