So…what’s the matter?

Good news…DT is out of his episode😊

Thanks to everyone who prayed for and with us💜

I was looking through my memories and I am grateful that we didn’t give up years ago when we first started dealing with all these health problems. My husband is definitely a fighter💪🏾

One of my friends whom I hadn’t spoken to in some time asked me what exactly was the matter. I am sure after all these posts many of you have questions.

The long and short of it is this…after years (decades) of being what we thought was a “healthy” diabetic, he developed nuerothopy…of the stomach😬 called gastroparesis. His stomach doesn’t know when to work to digest food…sometimes it’s right away, sometimes it's days. When his body finally remembers or gets tired

🤮🤮🤮🤮

It took almost two years and me advocating, fighting, crying and cussing a myriad of doctors to understand what it was and why it was happening. They still haven’t found the fix😪

Well almost 2 years of the stomach not working properly, his kidneys were effected. So dialysis was added to the list of treatment plans…

At the time I was working over an hour away from home. He would often be stuck at treatment with no transportation…so we decided to do home dialysis🤦🏾‍♀️ I thought it would be more convenient. It’s not. If anyone ever suggests it to you, please don’t have any other job or responsibilities!

The first few months were utter blood baths 💉 but I got better…

I can now add dialysis tech, nurse, and dialysis machine repair to my resume. I feel like the machine is my test of faith. I’ve cussed the machine, it’s components, tech support, and anyone that happened to be within earshot of me out about this damn machine. I’ve rebuilt it about 5 times…CPU, monitor, pure flow, cycler, PAK, SAK and all!

Anywho, that's our lives. It’s what has him under the weather and me in tears. It’s what made me appreciate the past and the present. It’s what made me venture out to start my own company and starting this blog. It’s my motivation to live and enjoy life to the fullest. It’s what brought us together ❤️

If you find a new stomach or kidney lying around give me a call 📞😂

Love on your tribe. It’s all we have 💜
