“Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they’re supposed to help you discover who you are.” -Bernice Johnson Reagon My first full day at the hospital has passed. The day began with me feeling pretty cruddy. In just the first day I have discovered a few of the things being in the hospital: The […]

You actually made me tear up tonight. I’ve been saying it for days but I just really hope you feel much better soon.
“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.” – Lance Armstrong I never imagined earlier today that I’d find myself blogging from the hospital, but here I […]

Hi Amanda. You’re quite a trooper and someone to really look up to. I will pray that you get better real soon. I hope you get some good rest. Wish you the best. ^_^
Oh Amanda, what a difficult journey you have been on lately. I cannot imagine the frustrations and emotions you are experiencing, even though you are so good at expressing them in writing. I’ll be sure to say extra prayers for you and your family.
Btw, I have had 2 HSG’s and they will be a cake walk compared to what you have been through so far. Hopefully it will provide answers for you and a path to move forward on.

well im glad you update us with everything and anyone who feels my sister is sharing too much can jump off acliff! i love you guys still praying for ya too!
ditto to that, joleen. transparency is very helpful at times like these for those of us that care and worry. it takes a great deal of courage to share and be so open with issues so traumatic and personal. dr. volker gallichio says hang in there and make sure you get some rest amanda!
thanks guys. It’s definitely been tough to rest this mind of mine until more time passes. That said on just 2 1/2 hours of sleep between being in discomfort still from the effects of surgery and just having my mind unsettled about all the recent news. :o( They say pain is weakness leaving the body…so give me a bit more time and I’ll seriously be tough as nails guys. I don’t see how I can have much more weakness inside me after all I’ve been through these last few weeks.
