Happy New Year!!

I am truly amazed at how fast 2015 eased on out of here! It seems like six months ago we were saying, New Year, New Me. I'm just amazed at how I survived 2015!
With the normal aches and pains I was doing pretty good, Then in April I had a "Man down " situation!
I remember Staying up on a Wednesday night til 4a.m. I was cleaning, going through sweats and chills. Something kept saying don't stop moving. Later that day I went to a funeral with a friend and I kept it moving. By Saturday I was hurting like a son of a gun! Went to hospital got a test done and went home. The next day went back to the doctor and had emergency surgery that night!
Doctor came in to tell me I was lucky to be alive. My appendix had exploded. He told me it had to be at least a week because of how they had to fish it out. Im amazed at how all my doctors tell me they have never seen a case like mine.
Two days later I was undergoing another surgery. This one was to remove my spinal shunt. Seems like infection was headed straight to it. I say my appendix rupturing saved my life and brought awareness to what's really going on with me.
Once the shunt was taken out, the doctor discovered the previous surgeon had stuffed it in and it was putting pressure on my sciatic nerve. I went home that Thursday and was back in surgery that Saturday! Spinal fluid leakage, go figure!
Once on the road to recovery,my back split open and I had a whole in my back for eight weeks! I under went a colonoscopy on a Tuesday then bone fusion surgery that Thursday.
When I say GOD has me, I mean it!!!
           
When 2016 came, I was sleep. I got my first kiss of the New Year and rolled over ,lol. I decided
this year instead of publicly announcing my New Years Resolutions, I've decided to do silent resolutions.No one needs to know all the things you want to change. Who needs that pressure!

I look forward to just being at peace and watch my children grow into their own. Yesterday I got some bad news from the doctor, but I had prepared myself and I know God got me! My other half feels I shouldn't tell the kids yet, Im not good at keeping things from them so ,it's difficult. I just know God can do anything but fail!.

Who going to Wakanda?!?!?

Last weekend I went to see the much talked about movie Black Panther. The week prior was opening weekend. When I tell you black people dressed in African garb and Wakanda Forever T-Shirts. They showed up and got in formation. I said I was going and my Facebook peers suggested I dress up, do it for the culture. Well I did not dress up.I sat my happy self in my truck at the local drive in with a Publix sub and a half gallon of their peach tea and waited to see what all the fuss was about. When the movie was over I remember saying I like the soundtrack. I liked how they could fly and drive and still be in the lab. I liked it all in all. However I LOVE the Suicide Squad. I like what I like and I don't go along with everything black because I'm black. I seen alot of my peers looking for flights to Wakanda, ya'll be safe. I'm not going. They had little quotes that people felt were geared to keep us woke. Funny thing is ya'll still sleep. Weeks before the movie was to...

Allow me to reintroduce myself...

Needless to say I have a lot to talk about and there is no time like the present!

And then came you.....

I have always gave myself timelines to do things. Most of them I have accomplished. I said I wanted a tattoo or tongue piercing by thirty. I got a tattoo at twenty-six. I said .I wanted to be married by thirty. I got married less than  two months after my thirtieth birthday. When I was thirty-five I told my mom I wanted to have another baby before I turned forty, and that's where this story begins! Life happened in a strange way. I decided to get a divorce, and move to Alabama to die. Yes I said DIE. I was tired with this thing called life and dealing with the people in it. I learned that people only care about you as long as you can do something for them. Being ill and them putting a death sentence on you without a diagnosis was enough in itself. I found peace with my decision and packed up my life and moved. There are pieces that won't make it to this post because it's not important at this moment. This moment is dedicated to this little girl who would not let me d...
