Serious Life Update


 "Even if you cannot change all the people around you, you can change the people you choose to be around. Life is too short to waste your time on people who don't respect, appreciate, and value you. Spend your life with people who make you smile, laugh, and feel loved." (Roy T. Bennett)

 

Hello, my lovely friends!

 

 Well, it’s been a while since we just chatted about things that are going on in my life. There’s a lot that has been going on and it’s time to give you all an update on that.

 

      The big update is that I had a mammogram last week and they found a lump in my left breast. The last time it was my right and now we’re it’s the left side. I’m not going to lie and admit I’m scared about it this time. Why is it the other one now? That what has me worried more than anything now. I’m scheduled to have my second screening in a couple of weeks. My mom tells me not to worry because if it was really bad they would have me come in right away. So, I’m trying to stay positive with it until I know. Either way I have decided that whatever is in me has to go again. I’m not keeping something around that could or could not be something. I am worried about it, but I’m trying not to let it consume me and my thoughts. I had an appointment set up for yesterday to do the second screening, but it got rescheduled for the end of the month. So, now I have to wait a few weeks, but staying positive about it.

 

      Last month I injured my right knee. Remember when I fell out of the car and hurt my knee? It’s the same knee. I was working out and decided to stretch my legs and I bent my leg back and I felt a little jolt of pain. I paid no attention and kept doing my thing, I woke up the next morning and was in a lot of pain. I could barely walk. So I stayed off of it for a week and it helped out so much. I guess now I just have a bum knee that if turned the wrong way will have a reaction. Right now I can walk normal and walk on the treadmill, but going up and down the stairs I take it slow and step on each step. It no longer hurts only when I’m on my legs too long it’ll ache some.

 

      My mom is doing well. She always has pain, but is taking things to help with it. Her other kneed is bothering her now and she’s thinking of doing replacement surgery on that in September. My sister will also come out to help me out again and she can stay almost a month this time. Her health seems to be good for now. She’s been doing everything they’ve told her to do and it’s been really good for her. Tomorrow she goes to her kidney doctor and we’ll find out more info then.

 

 

       The online relationship is going really well. So, a little bit about him… His name is Mike and he is younger than me. This was not something I was looking for, but we’ve been friends for a while and just started to get to know each other better. I feel so comfortable around him. We are with each other from the moment we wake up till we go to sleep. We shat about everything and nothing. I feel really good about this. We’ve talked on the phone and things just get better and better. I’m really happy with how things are going.

     

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

I wish you a good morning, afternoon or evening wherever you are.

Talk Soon…

  1. Oh my dear . . . I am so sorry. That’s horrible to have to wait til the end of the month! I’ve had that same situation in both breasts. The wait is so draining. BUT flooding you w/prayers and hugs.

    Oh my. Then to have your knee injury and pain, too. Glad that it seems to be feeling better.

    I am happy to hear that your Mom is doing well, outside of her knee. Good luck to her if she decides to have her knee replacement. All I can say is I have had both of mine replaced and not one second of regret.

    So happy for you that Mike and you have such a nice relationship. That makes life so much better. May it continue that way for you.

    It is nice to have your update. Have been thinking of you!

    I fell and hit my head on concrete outside when walking 3 weeks ago. Banged up my face and left shoulder. Nothing broken, but taking time to heal. Fortunately feeling MUCH MUCH better each day.

    I am sending hugs and prayers to you and definitely, stay as positive as you can. It helps.

    1. Oh no Barb! I'm so sorry that you fell, but so glad that you're on the mend. It's so scary when those things happen.

      Thank you , its been rough and I'm trying not to let things get to me because I have no control over it. I will wait until I know. Staying positive about everything.

      Things are so good with Mike and I'm really happy.

      Have a wonderful day! (((BIG HUGS)))

  2. Early discovery is usually a good thing. Prayers the second screening goes well. Maybe see a doctor about that knee? You may have torn something inside. Glad to hear that your mom is doing well. It's great that your online friendship continues to be a positive. You sound happy.
    Wishing you a lovely day. 🤗💖

    1. Thanks Jeanne. I think I have to get the knee looked at because it still hurts daily. I'm staying positive about everything until I know what is going on inside me. Things are so much better than they've been. I am really happy.

      Have a lovely day! (((BIG HUGS)))

  3. It's Kathy. I'm so sorry that you are having to wait longer for your second screening. It's important to stay positive but I understand how scary it is to wonder. I'm also happy to hear that your mom is doing well! I hope your knee continues to feel better. And it sounds like your online friendship is working out. It's nice to have support, isn't it! Take care of yourself!

    1. I was really scared and worried, but now I'm being positive about it. If it was bad I would have been in there quickly.

      Things are really looking up in everything. I'm happy with how things are going.

      Enjoy your day! (((BIG HUGS)))

  4. Val here (Valerie Stewart Edwards on FB). You've been in my thoughts for quite some time now. So glad you posted a link from the Sparkling Divas page. I've been looking and looking obviously without success - I'm sure it's my getting older and less computer savvy.

    Sorry to hear you have some serious things going on in your life. Re your breasts, it sounds like yours may be 'lumpy' and/or 'cysty' too. Sooooo many times I've gone for a mammography, gotten callbacks to come in for more in depth screening and worried myself sick and thankfully each time I've come back clear. Cysts have worked out OK too. My body likes to grow lumps and bumps LOL! Hoping that your follow-up will be good!!!

    Knees are the bane of mankind! Sorry about yours and your Mom's problems. Glad your sister will be supporting you both through it all. Nice to hear you have a close friend in your life again. Puppy is looking as sweet as ever.

    Please continue to add links to your blogs from your Sparkling Divas page. I've saved your blog page to my favourites, but just in case.... Wishing you and yours well as always Paula.

    1. I can post the link for the blog daily if you want me to. If that's easier for you.

      I'm staying positive and thinking that if it was serious they would have brought me in quickly. SO for now I'm thinking its a cyst only. My knee does good, but it gets sore. Hopefully it will get better soon,

      Yeah, this relationship makes me very happy. It's different from anything else I've ever had.

      Have a wonderful day! (((BIG HUGS)))

  5. Hey Paula, I can so sympathize with the knee. I fell 2 months ago, and my right knee is giving me fits. I see a visit with a Orthopedist in my future. I am so sorry to hear about the issues you are dealing with at the same time. I will pray for you, and keep me posted...on the other hand I hope Mike works out for you, as you deserve happiness.
    If there is anything I can do, just send me a pm on FB or email. It has been an experience dealing with David leaving, but I'm trying to make him proud and be strong. Some days are diamonds and some days are just dirt. Hugs girl..

    1. It's been a month for me since my birthday. So many ups and downs, but mid-March things turned around and things with Mike pleasantly surprised me. I wasn't looking for this and it just happened. Thanks

      Enjoy your day! (((BIG HUGS)))
