These smiles are a well springof Joy overflowing

Please don’t dismiss or try to act unaffected by pain. Pain is the bodies alarm that there is a problem and a thorough root cause analysis should always be insisted upon. As an adolescent and young adult in Cook county Illinois my monthly deathly pain was treated with a morphine chemical band aid until i could be released from the hospital. Then in my lare twenties the pain hit so hard one month that i was rushed to the hospital and needed emergency surgery for the condition that had been killing my reproductive system since the onset of my monthly cycle; but went undiagnosed till it ruptured my appendix. fortunately the sugeon that performed my emergency appendectomy referred me to Dr Bruce Briet of Women’s Care Florida who was able to give me an accurate diagnosis and begin treatment to make an effort to save my reproductive system. After years of commendable effort he had saved my life from the ongoing damage of my condition; but my reproductive system had to go. Never allow a medical professional to minimize your pain; there are life altering consequences to losing your ability to reproduce not of your own accord. By the grace and mercy of God; Iam blessed with a son that i concieved as a teenager and multiple God children who have given me grandchildren to bring an overflowing Joy 😊

Uplift; not mock

What would you change about modern society?

On the outside looking in it doesn’t appear that men mentally and emotionally support one another in ways that allow them to walk in tveir truth. Rather mocking leadind to suppression of mental and emotional inappropriate behavior

Progress

I’m partially paralyzed from a stroke on my left side and i have been pedal to the medal intherapies for 5 years; not where i want to be, but seeing the progress with finger dexterity and I have worked my typing up to 17 words per minute with 90% accuracy. the ebbs and flows sometimes get the best of me. But God keeps picking me up and getting me back on track to a return to the workforce at some point in the future πŸ™ŒπŸΎ

Note to self

The Lord God is my strength [my source of courage, my invincible army]; He has made my feet [steady and sure] like hinds’ feet And makes me walk [forward with spiritual confidence] on my high places [of challenge and responsibility].
