Knight in Shining Denim (otherwise known as I've fallen and can't get up.)
Pajama Day!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!! I haven't called that in a while.
This is a BIG THANK YOU TO A KNIGHT IN SHINING DENIM.
Yesterday, Myasthenia Gravis, Empty nest, Removal of Thyroid, Being put to Sleep with some Neuro Blockers( neuro blockers and myasthenia hate each other), having 3 doctors’ appointments this week and finding out yes mine was Thyroid Cancer, got to go see and oncologist, figure it's a formality.. All came crashing together, don’t leave me now, just getting to the fun stuff. When I got home, I went to change clothes and get comfy as normal. But the big box we keep documents in caught my eye and I thought of a paper I needed out of it. So, I squatted down to look through the papers and fell backwards. OK not so bad. For a NORMAL HUMAN. Not too easy for Lisa Freeman. I tried to pull myself up, I got on my knees. Bad move, new knee hated that move. so, I sat back down. And scooted to the door frame and tried to pull myself up. Couldn't do it (and I tried more times than I can count). I called Rodney he said scoot to the straight back chair in the bedroom, I could get up with it. I laid on my back and started scooting (just easier on my back for me). I called Joshua to see where he was. He, Amy and Aubrey were in Attalla. I said no hurry I would figure it out. I called Chelsea and Shawn they were in Gadsden and I told her it was Ok once I get to the bedroom, I would be able to get up by myself. (OH, Repetitive movement makes Myasthenia worse) So Rodney calls again to see where I am, I've made it to the other closet and nearly in the bathroom. He said call 'JavinandTraci O'Barr I said no way, this was to embarrassing. So, as I scooted getting more tired and more tired, I called my sister at the bank for a visit and kept scooting. Laura and I decided she couldn't leave the bank to come help because then everyone in the bank would want to know where she was going and that would be way, way to embarrassing. So, she stayed with me till I got on the carpet. I couldn't call Anna or Justin they both worked to far away. I told Laura if it was the new carpet in the living room in front of the heater I would just curl up and take a nap, that was all the strength I had left. So, after talking to Rodney yet again I called JavinandTraci O'Barr. Javin the knight in shining denim was here in less than 2 minutes. He helped me sit up. Found my tea and my Mestinon. I took 2 Mestinon and then he helped me up into the chair in the bedroom. I hope I didn't hurt his back. That always worries me, because let's face it I'm not a tiny thing. So, while I was resting for the move to the living room. Joshua and Amy showed up. They said they didn't come because I fell, but I'm sure they cut their plans short. Thank to both of them. When they arrived Javin was able to leave. Joshua and Amy got me to the living room to my chair where I spent the rest of the afternoon. My sister ratted me out to mama. She just can't keep a secret...lol....(that's the funnies thing in the story if you knew my sister). I'm Wooped today, but no worse for wear. Thank you to everyone who talked to me while I was scooting, it took every bit of energy I had to get to the carpet. Thank you SO MUCH JAVIN, you are my knight in shining denim. I'm better today but not great. I will take a while, to get over the anesthesia. I hope your day is better than my yesterday was, love you all.
Proverbs 18:24 - A man [that hath] friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother.
Ecclesiastes 4:9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a long-term neuromuscular disease that leads to varying degrees of skeletal muscle weakness. [1] The most commonly affected muscles are those of the eyes, face, and swallowing. It can result in double vision, drooping eyelids, trouble talking, and trouble walking. Onset can be sudden.
By Mayo Clinic Staff
Myasthenia gravis (my-us-THEE-nee-uh GRAY-vis) is characterized by weakness and rapid fatigue of any of the muscles under your voluntary control.
Myasthenia gravis is caused by a breakdown in the normal communication between nerves and muscles.
There is no cure for myasthenia gravis, but treatment can help relieve signs and symptoms, such as weakness of arm or leg muscles, double vision, drooping eyelids, and difficulties with speech, chewing, swallowing and breathing
