I was told over a year ago that I needed hemmroid surgery.
I was in the midst of 'rescuing' my difficult child, I am the main bread winner of the home, easy child needed me, etc. I opted to try other remedies and have surgery as a last resort.
Last sunday I felt really run down and had what I thought were sinus headaches. I took over the counter sinus medications and went on.
Monday after making a run on my horse I had to get off and sit down because I was dizzy. again, I thought I had gotten too hot and had an infection with my sinuses.
Tuesday I went to primed and was given an antibiotic shot and a steriod shot. The next day instead of bouncing back, I felt worse. I went back to primed and they ran bloodwork and sent me straight to the hospital for blood. I recieved two units and my heart was checked for damage due to the chronic blood loss.
The surgeon could not do the surgery until tuesday so I am home waiting, still bleeding.
I was told the two week recovery would be horrible pain (another reason I didn't want it!)
I have to shut down my shop. husband spent the afternoons calling everyone to cancel appointments. My shop brings in most of our income.
I know God has slowed me down for something. I am stuck now with the energy to walk from the bedroom to the kitchen.
Please remember us in your prayers.
Looking at the whole situation, maybe I wasn't as detached as I thought I was and I am being put in a place where I can't 'help' difficult child in any way.
