Warning, this is going to be a long post
The day marks the end of one very difficult year the year I recovered from my near death experience on August 6 and seventh of 2024 I was taken by ambulance because some friends of mine insisted on not wait any longer to call the doctor tomorrow that I needed to go to the hospital right then and there Will they save my life so thank you Kim Martin, Penny Nuckles, Barry Knuckles, and my sweet husband Al they’re the one who insisted I go to the hospital that night. Well, I ended up being taken by ambulance to ECU in Greenville, where I had emergency kidney surgery because I had a what they called dirty kidney stone that was blocking my left kidney And I had E. coli under my new left hip replacement and I had gone into sepsis. I spent 11 days in the trauma unit and I know I had three experiences where I saw the light and I saw my daddy standing there telling me to go back. It wasn’t my time so I’ve spent the last year in assisted living. I’ve done months and months of physical therapy. I was originally paralyzed and I couldn’t move my legs. People had to move them for me. I think the people who came to see me in the hospital my sweet friend Amanda, my dear dear friend Temple, who even sent people I didn’t know to come visit me who I am now friends with hi Misty hi Teresa, you guys all brightened my day and Susan aliff thank you. You sent me clothes when I had no clothes and no way to get anybody there thank you Amanda and Penny for taking care of Al while I was gone I think the friends who sent me presents when I really needed something to do Temple the crochet hook and Christmas yarn. I ended up making an Afghan Patty Warren the lovely dress that you sent me Lorrie Lee the yarn and the really cute crocheted over blouse that made me smile You are right thank you all And sweet Al he has all need a physical therapy. He’s called me to every kind of doctor you can imagine and I’m not done yet. I’m still trying to figure out why things are the way they are and I’m told I’m probably not gonna get any better. My legs are probably gonna remain numb and dumb Pretty much useless and my spine is deteriorating and supposedly there’s nothing they can do. I’ve now completed two visits with the doctor to have EMG and I’m telling you these guys have to be sadomasochist because boy I’ve done every test Norman and that’s the only one that hurts anyway I’ve developed essential tremors . My memory isn’t the same at one point. My hair off fell out. I’m blessed the owl likes to cook eggs and he knows how to make hamburgers so the food thing is kind of been interesting. Obviously I’m not doing keto or all star. It’s been a very challenging year. I’m happy it’s over. I hope things get better but they probably won’t but that’s OK. I think I figured out why daddy sent me back and that’s kind of what I’ve been trying to figure out . I’d still like to do craft shows so if anybody knows anybody that wants to help me that would be awesome anyway thank you guys for listening and it’s the end of my year thank you Lord. Let’s move on
