Me again asking for prayers

Moms View Message Board: Prayer Requests: Me again asking for prayers
By Dramamamma on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 10:00 pm:

Well it's me again asking for prayers, it's been crazy and I'm just at my wits ends with things.

1) still dealing with the abnormal paps, waiting to get approved for medicaid so that I can have a cone biopsy. Please pray that I do get approved so that I can have this procedure otherwise I'm looking at a hysterectomy before knowing if it is cancer.

2) Went for a mammogram on Friday and then doctor wanted to do ultrasound so I had this done now I go on Monday for a procedure called a Breast Specific Gamma Imaging for a spot she found on my right breast. My dad's mom died of breast cancer at the age of 36 back in 1975 so I am hoping she's just being overly cautious but I'm still kind of freaked out about it. I go on Monday at 1:30.

3) Tomorrow, after 13 years with the exception of when I was pregnant, I'm starting my first medication for my HIV. I will be on medicine now for the rest of my life, this particular reginmen is 6 pills a day. I'm not handling the whole thing well at all, I've dreaded this day for 13 years.

4) My job is about to lay off alot of people, we've had to do 15 minute time studies for our entire 12 hour shfits (talk about pain in the behind). In doing them I'm even seeing that we (as in techs) aren't even really needed :-( at night. I'm one of the newest techs too so it doesnt look good. We've already been all getting "call" so my paychecks have been really pittiful here lately.

5) My youngest sister (remember all the issues we have had with her??) is pregnant. This has hit me pretty hard because I'm dealing with the whole possible hysterectomy and wanting another child in the future along with her being 18 and not out of school yet, and her issues.

So as you can see I'm getting hit in all different directions. I'm trying to stay positive and have really been focusing on getting rid of the negative things in my life and focusing more on just Brendan and I time.

Your prayers are appreciated. THANK YOU!

Christy, I can't begin to tell you how much your troubles weigh on my mind. I've been keeping you and Brendan in my prayers and you'll remain there. I know internet hugs can't possibly replace the real, live thing but it's all I can offer to you right now. If there is anything any of us here at MV can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask. {{{Christy}}}

I will keep you in my prayers. Please try to not stress too much. Stress can really run a body down.

prayers for you...

By Kaye on Sunday, January 13, 2008 - 11:13 am:

Christy, so sorry to hear you have so much on your plate. You will get through this, God will be with you each step of the way.

By Dana on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 07:54 am:

Prayers for you. I'm not hear at MV very often any longer, so I don't "know you" very well.

Your post reads like you are standing strong and ready to take on the challanges that have been given you. I pray you are given the strength to take it thru to the end and that miracles come your way.

So many major things at one time. Hang in there.

Thank you ladies. I'm not doing all that great right now emotionally. I'm just drained, I've spent the better part of the last 24 hours either throwing up or crying. The medicine has already started making me feel something horrible and I just had to take it again. I'm hungry but can't eat because it makes me nausous and when I do actually get something down I throw it right back up.

My appointment is at 1:30 today and if it weren't so important I'd cancel it because honestly right now I just don't want to know. If it comes back bad I don't know how I'll handle it.

By Ilovetom on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 01:40 pm:

Aww...praying for you.

By Dramamamma on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 09:51 pm:

Scan came back with something on it so I go back on Friday for a biopsy. I'm not able to keep anything down or sit up for to long or I'm throwing up again, will update when I can.

By Ilovetom on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 - 07:19 am:

Prayers.

By Kaye on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 - 08:19 am:

ugh Christy! could this be related to the hiv? I know sounds like a dumb question, but with your numbers dropping, could all this be related and maybe they can fix this issue and you won't need meds.

By Bobbie~moderatr on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 - 12:04 pm:

Kaye that was my thoughts too, my brother in law had HIV/full blown Aids and I am fully aware of what the numbers/counts can do to a person.

I wish there was something I could say to help... I know how bad it sucks to take medications, I am on a daily regiment of 15 pills a day and I am at the point where I am choking down the pills. I can't decide if how bad they make me feel is worth the symptoms they relieve or not. I fully understand the hate/anger you likely feel for what is going on to/inside of you. I am there sister.. And I understand job stress, I am still looking for a job (started in October) :(

You have many people on here praying for you... ((((BIG HUGS CHRISTY)))) Please keep us posted...

By Dramamamma on Thursday, January 17, 2008 - 09:59 am:

Thank you everyone for your prayers.

Kaye -- my doctor thinks that maybe the abnormal paps might get better once my #'s get better but the spot on the breast I don't know. The medicine is to make the #'s get better, now that I've started them I'll be on them forever. I go see him next week and hopefully by then will have the results of the biopsy and I'll know more about what we are looking at.

Thank you all again for your prayers and thoughts.

By Bobbie~moderatr on Thursday, January 17, 2008 - 10:52 am:

Christy, hun... ((((((HUGS))))))

By Ilovetom on Friday, January 18, 2008 - 07:39 am:

Good luck today.

:)

By Colette on Friday, January 18, 2008 - 11:02 am:

((Christy)) Good luck.

By Ilovetom on Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - 08:13 am:

Anything? Still thinking about you.

By Dramamamma on Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - 11:42 pm:
