We go the IV juicing route

IMG_0169

Well… what can I say. IV treatment it’s not as glamorous as it looks:) Yesterday I had a follow up, found out I got mold and new co-infections so we’re changing the treatment yet again, and juicing myself trough one long flexible straw seems unavoidable. Here, in the picture I’m embracing one treatment and due to time I had to skip the other two, but got a shot instead, just in case I didn’t have enough poking for the day:) I’m on an anti-mold treatment now, we’re not even dealing with all other issues, it’s knocking one thing at the time strategy. I had Elizabeth and her sweet kids to entertain me, as they passed by the window making faces and dancing, putting a smile of all of our faces. (I wasn’t the only one drinking through a straw). The insurance does not cover this treatment since it’s considered exploratory (in other words, works better than the usual phrase I’ve heard:You’re just one of those unfortunate cases). True even this doctor tolled me the IV combination is very unique and I’m a special case. I’m really tired of how special I seem to be in the doctor’s eyes. The IV left me absolutely and completely wiped of all energy and today I’m dragging my body from one room to another like a zoned out zombie. However I’m happy my girl passed her driver’s test and she’s been getting out groceries since Thursday:) My parents celebrated their 42nd wedding anniversary yesterday and life goes on.

Am inceput tratament intravenos de ieri, vor sa fac de doua ori pe saptamina, timp de 8 saptamini, o combinatie specific numai mie de medicamente totul pe baza naturala. Mi-a spus ca sint caz special, dar te mai uiti. Tratamentul este pentru curatirea mucegaiului care l-au fasit in corp prin analize de singe si inzdravenirea sitemului imun. Binenteles asigurarea medicala nu acopera nimic, deci clar, no fi nimic. (dupa zisele lui Alin, fratele meu). Am observat ca tratamentul asta ma obosit la maxim. Meleah a luat examenul de conducere si se duce la cumparaturi de citeva zile, asta-i de mare ajutor acuma. Parintii mei au celebrat 42 de ani de casatorie ieri si uite asa viata merge inainte.

Friday:)

Love House! But not always. Sometimes he’s down right obnoxious, yet smart and refreshingly honest:) Well, it’s Friday, I’m back on malaria medicine, did not go for the neuro shots this week since I wasn’t feeling well enough to do that. But my daughter got Student of the Year award and made it all better:) Today I feel pretty well and that’s all that counts. Been loosing high amounts of hair, if this continues I’ll have to cut it short.

I hope you take full advantage of the sunny weather this weekend, and I’ll talk to you next weekend. 🙂

Va doresc un sfirsit de saptamina placut:) Meleah a primit premiul:) Termina saptamina viitoare liceul si va incepe sa lucreze de pe 15 Iunie. Imi pica parul mult de tot, daca va continua va trebui sa-l tai scurt. Am inceput iara tratament pentru malarie, dar in rest totul e bine, si-s plina de speranta si bucurie. Ma bucur mult ca-l simt pe D-zeu de partea mea si-i multumesc lui D-zeu ca ma binecuvintat cu o familie si prieteni asa de fantastici:) Fara voi si D-zeu nu as fi avut puterea sa lupt inainte. Asa ca- multumesc mult:)))))

I’m sorry/ Iarta-ma

As I was speaking to one of my friends, I realized my brain was doing again that thing it does more often than I like to admit but recently have come to hate. Judging. So I shooed it out of my thoughts, again and again and again, reminding myself just how imperfect I myself am. But old habits die-hard and despite the fragile seed of humility growing inside, I dare to hope, my eyes betrayed my thoughts. I’m sorry. For what exactly? For deceiving myself into thinking I have no value, and the only way of getting it is by criticizing someone else’s value. For looking past our differences only because I grew accustomed to my own perceptions. Forgetting that my own world is better with you in it than without. For thinking, even if for a second, that I may be better than you, while forgetting that I don’t fully know you yet to make such an idiotic assumption. I’m sorry.

Vorbind cu unii dintre prietenii mei, am realizat caci creierul meu făcea din nou chestia aia care o face mai des decât îmi place să recunosc, dar recent am ajuns să-o urăsc. Judecând. Așa că am alungat, din nou și din nou și din nou gindul de judecata, amintindu-mi mie in sine cât de imperfectă sint. Dar vechile obiceiuri mor greu, și, în ciuda sămânței fragile de umilință care a inceput sa cresca în interior, sper, ochii mi-au trădat gândurile. Îmi pare rău. Pentru ce anume? Pentru ca m-am înșelat pe mine în a gândi ca nu am nici o valoare, iar singurul mod de a obține aceasta, este de a critica valoarea altcuiva. Pentru faptul ca am trecut cu vederea diferențele noastre doar pentru că m-am obișnuit cu propriile mele perceptii. Uitând că propria mea lume este mai buna cu tine în ea decât fără. Pentru a ma gândi, chiar dacă numai pentru o secundă, ca sint mai buna decât tine, uitând că eu nu te cunosc pe deplin încă să fac o astfel de presupunere. Îmi pare rău.
