Damean family (my maiden name, thus my brothers, sisters, in laws, parents) are celebrating big time! My baby sister Oana gave birth yesterday to twin girls! Yep, you read correctly- TWIN GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m over the moon and walking on clouds. And we all needed this, after finding out that my grandma on my father’s side died on Sunday and one of my brother is suspect for TB (tuberculosis). Thank you God for such precious blessings coming in our midst, we’re celebrating big, by preparing a work load for Thanksgiving:) If I drank alcohol I would get drunk now, but I feel drunk anyway, alcohol free, just from pure happiness:)
Rebeca and Sara, were born yesterday around 2:25 pm, Rebeca at 4 pounds 9 oz and 17 inches long and Sarah at 5 pounds 5 oz and 17 inches long, in two and a half hours, natural birth, healthy babies, healthy mama, thank you God! They make number 16 and 17 in grandkids. They were born in Germany:)
About any of my health updates… who cares! I have twin nieces!!!!!!!!!!
Rebeca to the left (eyes open) and Sarah to the right (crying)
Sarah’s always hungry:) Rebeca just ate:)
Sarbatoare mare in familie la noi!!!!!!! Au venit gemenele!!!!!! Sora mea mica Oana a nascut ieri la 11.45 seara in Germania doua fetite gemene, si aveam nevoie de asa celebrare dupa ce aflasem ca Duminica bunica din partea tatalui nostru a murit.
Rebeca are 2260g si 45cm iar Sara 2520g si 45 cm, nastere naturala far complicatii. Doamne mare esti si-ti multumim mult:))))))))) Acuma parintii au 17 nepoti. (Desi ei sint in drum spre Moldova la inmormintare).
Tomorrow is my hubby’s B-day!!!!!!!!!! Love him more than ever:))))))))))
Ziua de nastere a sotului meu e miine!!!!!!!!! Il iubesc mai mult ca in ziua nuntii!!!!!
Yesterday I went to see Sharpy’s cousin again (IV treatment, minerals and Bio-Oxygen) and I found him in better spirits than last time. However, I don’t know what grudge he held against my nurse when he bit her (she poked herself while prepping my IV bag). That changed the course of who was going to poke me, fortunately it wasn’t as bad as expected. The whole shebang lasts a healthy three hours and some days I fell like I’m moving in. At least I didn’t have the eight-hour bag hooked to me, like I found out another patient had to do in the past. Well my blood was much darker than last time, and I raised my chest high with pride over that minute accomplishment only to deflate moments later when my nurse told me it’s not a good sign.
What? Why not?
It means you’re either low in oxygen, you’re fighting something or there’s too much iron in your blood. You want to see your blood nice and bright.
Come to think of it, I am fighting something, there is a low production of oxygen in my blood, as for the third reason, does it really matter? It’s only by God’s grace that I’m alive and healing.
However, today (the next day) I feel so crummy I think they should call this extra crummy with a side order of nausea, headaches or most likely migraine, fatigue, faint feeling, and very weak. I guess deep cleaning my house is out of the question for today:)))))))) As after the previous minerals and Bio- Oxygen IV, I had a fever before falling asleep, woke up around 2 am feeling like I was going to vomit and pass out from lack of fresh air. I needed cold air, for I felt too hot. Now, don’t go thinking I’m complimenting myself, I meant too warm:) The Shot-term memory is having a little troubles it seems too, but then again that could be a blessing in disguise, so I won’t remember all the things my kids do to annoy me. They seem to have an over qualification in this department. Shhh, so do I 😉 This is a typical after shock, in few days I’ll start feeling stronger. Until than, where is my bed!
On a different note, HAPPY B-DAY TO MY DAD!!!!!
Ieri, am participat intentionat intru-o alta repriza de Perfuzii (minerale si oxigen), cu efort minimalistic din partea mea:) Am stat in fotoliu trei ore atasata de noii mei prieteni, perfuziile. Singele mi-era mult mai inchis ca prima data si mi-am infoiat cheptul cu mindrie ca apart semne bune, numai sa mi se desumfle in citeva secunde odata ce asistenta mi-a zis ca nu-i semn asa bun. De ce? am intrebat eu. “Inseamna ca nu ai destul oxigen in singe, corpul se lupta cu o infectie sau ai prea mult fier in singe.” Am stiut ca nu am oxigen destul deasta ma voluntariez la perfuzii, corpul meu se lupat nu numai impotriva unei infectii ci impotriva unui batalion intreg de ingectii cit despre fier in singe… mai conteaza acuma detaliile astea mici. Numai cu ajutorul Bunului Dumnezeu sint in viata si ma pun incetul pe piciore:) Vad ca am un pic probleme sa retin memoriile sau informatii primite imediat (shot-term memory) dar am stiut ca drumul spre vindecare e pas cu pas. Ma mir ca inca imi aduc aminte cum sa scriu pe Romaneste si pe Engleza. Adevarat ca fac o gramada de greseli dar te mai uiti?
Azi (ca de obicei dupa perfuziile astea) imi vine sa ma urc pe pereti dar is prea slabita pentru asta:) Am dureri de cap angro, ma simt asa de slabita ca ma mir ca nu mi se inchid ochii automatic, am greturi si ma doare capul, am mai spus asta nu? Inseamna ca ma doare capul de doua ori mai mult decit restul simptomelor:))))))))))) Dar in vreo doua zile imi voi reveni si atunci sa vedeti actiune, fac mincare, spal rufe… ce ati crezut ca fac ceva fantastic? Si uite asa imi petrec eu zilele:))))
La multi ani la tata!!!!!
When a problem is too close to home look up, there’s always a ray of sun God sends ready to strengthen and warm you up:) Blood too dark. Medication so my blood would not coagulate as the nurse preps the minerals IV bag. Minerals IV.
Cind problemele sint prea apropiate de tine, priveste in sus, Dumnezeu trimite raze de soare sa te imputerniceasca si sa-ti aduca caldura in inima. Singele prea inchis. Medicament impotriva coagularii in timp ce asistenta pregateste cealalta perfuzie. Perfuzie de minerale.

Today– October 2015- 🙂

Well, well, well, it’s been a while since I’ve done a post or recorded a video, and surprisingly I’m alright with that:) But today I must clarify few things since it seems I may have the gift of confusing people (and myself most days) with incomplete information. That’s because there’s a whole lot of conversation going on in my head so I figured you all can read minds thus I don’t need to bother with details;))))) It appears that I’m wrong. Go figure.
Let’s begin. They (meaning doctors who took bunch of my precious blood, examined it under microscopes only to find nasty things that didn’t belong in my body), came up with the diagnostic of NeuroLyme Disease (yep, that means the Central Nervous System got fired aka unreliable brain faculties, aka fart brain aka cucu brain, you get the drill) and as if that wasn’t enough I collected a colorful mix of co-infections (malaria, multiple infections, fungus, toxic poisonings parasites, low cellular oxygen level, to name a few aka almost dead from a total collapse of the immune system). I was not in good shape one bit, thus I hugged my bed weakly for months on end. I know some of you envy what it may seem like a relaxing time but don’t be fooled. It was not. Far from it. Once the diagnostics came so the opinions. After I changed my doctors as often as I do my socks (and that’s quite often:) I found one that’s great. It only took me one year, three months, thousands of lost dollars, and million of seconds spent in agony. That’s all. But than the insurance decided they are not going to cover 90% of these medical costs because…. it’s working!!!! Oh well, it’s not like I had a job to get back to (no longer working), a family to take care of and a life to live.
Treatments began and it can take up to 8 more moths for a full recovery. We began with four weeks of CNS and adrenal glands shots, (big needles tickling my back), than some oral medication (great tasting treats), than first round of IV treatment (my vein made a new friend I call him Sharpy). Now we began the second round of IV (Sharpy’s cousin:) Well, yesterday I was poked three times and one hour later the doctor brought the nurse in and she put Shapry’s cousin in my vein right away:) I don’t think I like Sharpy’s cousin:( Well after words on the way home I wasn’t quite sure if Elizabeth was real or a figment of my over stimulated imagination. Got home, hugged my couch, than realized I wanted cookies. So I made some, and my body began yelling at me to go rest, so I did, smiling because I had a cookie in my hand. The end:)

Past has dragged us through enough pain and misery in this life. So let us do something about it!
Father God I’m sorry that at one point I let fear take over my mind, that fear produced the bad habit of bitterness and anger to such extent that it stole away my true joy. I’m sorry for making excuses and holding on to that fear, for not believing you are on my side and blaming you for that fear. But I see how has been hurting my children and I can’t bear to know they’ll be wrapped up in the suffocating habit of a joyless life. I must ask for your forgiveness, I must have joy and peace so I can clearly direct my children and my grandchildren towards a life full of joy and love. I know it took time to get where I am and it may take time for me to undo this but I know that I have you on my side and all will be well. Amen
All women of past pain remember how strong you truly are. Make a habit of remembering the good things about yourself, and get in the habit of believing them. There’s always goodness in us, always value in us, always great potential. Today let it be the day you allow yourself to see what God sees, amazing potential and a great warrior:)))))))))))

Trecutu ne-a târât prin destule dureri și destula mizerie în această viață. E timpul sa schimbam anumite aspecte in felul negativ de gindire asupra proprii fiinte.
Dumnezeu Tatăl din ceruri Îmi pare rău că la un moment dat am lăsat frica să preia felul de gindire al meu, acea frica a produs prostul obicei de amărăciune și mânie în gindire in asa măsură încât mi-a furat adevărata mea bucurie. Îmi pare rău pentru ca am facut scuze in trecut sa nu alung aceasta frica, pentru că nu am avut destula credinta ca tu Doamne esti de partea mea și ca am pus vina pe tine pentru multe lucruri. Dar văd ca treaba asta mi-a rănit copiii și eu nu pot accepta să-i știu înfășurati în mod sufocant de frica si o viață lipsita de bucurie launtrica care numai Bunul Dumnezeu o poate da. Trebuie să am bucurie și pace, ca sa-mi pot educa si direcționa în mod clar atit copiii mei cit și nepoții mei spre o viață plină de bucurie și dragoste. Știu că a luat timp pentru a ajunge unde sunt și va lua timp pentru a-mi schimba felul de gindire, dar nu sint singura pe drumul asta te am pe tine o Doamne. Amin
Toate femeile ale durerilor din trecut aduceti-va aminte cat de puternice sinte-ti:) Face-ti-va un nou obicei, de a va aminti lucrurile bune asupra fiintei voastre, și de a lua în obiceiul de a crede aceste lucruri bune. Există întotdeauna bunătate în noi, întotdeauna valoare în noi, întotdeauna un mare potențial. Astăzi lăsați să fie o zi in care sa vă permiteți să vedeți ceea ce vede Dumnezeu in voi, potențial uimitor! :))))
There are days when this is all the serenity we get, so enjoy it:))))))) Next week is the final IV treatment, and so far I can tell you one important fact; it’s working. Translation: I can be in public places without having some seizure like episodes, I can exercise, and I’m able to stop the insane habit of overdoing (stuff that later doesn’t matter much, that’s what). I’m sure a new treatment will follow, since this one is dealing with invaders such as mold and toxins, and a weak CNS (Central Nervous System).
On a different note, this is for all the people out there (you know who you are) including myself that have nothing better to do than tell a very ill person some horrible stories they’ve heard about someone who died because the disease their were fighting against won. Stop it! I was in the IV room yesterday and two brain tumor stage four clients were on either side of me, one was passed out from the weak stage he was in the other quite the opposite, she kept going on and on with stories of all these cancer patients and the medical dehumanization experiences they went through with their doctors. Been there done that and I agree with her, but I was there to heal, not to be reminded why I was hooked up to some yellow medication slowly dripping in my veins. I began feeling ill, my arm hurt like no other treatment before then I realized yet again (some lessons are better learned after multiple repetition), the body is attached to the soul and the spirit. If I experience fear the body responds to that, pain is the result. Hmm, I’m done now:)
My mom’s doing better, she’s on a new treatment and insulin shots then next week she’ll be admitted one day for more testing. That’s how they roll with it in Romania:)
On a political note, I wanted more accurate news than CNN about the Syrian immigrants so I went to none other than the people on the front line, who live there and are directly affected by this. In addition to what we’re tolled on the news this is what I found out:
Avem zile cind calmul nostru este subjugat, facindu-ne sa ne simtim mai degraba ca evadatii de la zam:) Dar trec si asemenea zile si pe urma ne reglam iara:) Saptamina viitoare am ultima transfuzie, si multumesc Bunului Dumnezeu ca ma simt mai bine si vad ca ma ajuta. Acuma am putere sa ies la magazin, sau sa fac exercitii, totul limitat inca dar sint multumitoare. Azi am avut onoarea sa stau de vorba cu mama:) Se simte mai bine, are tratament nou si se va interna saptamina viitoare o zi pentru ai face analize noi. Am vorbit un pic de persoane dragi din trecut de care mi-aduc aminte cu drag, ca de exemplu de data asta Maricica si tanti Cioana:) Ma gindesc mereu si la Mihaela prietena mea din Romania, si ma bucur cind o vad fericita in vacanta alaturi de familie. Am vorbit si cu citiva frati care mi-au dat stiri mai reale la adresa emigrantilor din Siria. Ufta. Dar viata merge in continuare si sper ca putem sa ne bucuram de ea, ca-i tare valoroasa viata asta:) E cadou de la Bunul Dumnezeu care ne-a dat-o cu intentia sa ne bucuram de ea si de cei din jurul nostru. Okay deja ma adorm singura cu baladele astea melancolice asa ca mai bine inchei aici:)))) Va doresc un sfirsit de saptamina plin de sanatate si multe zimbete:)
