Hey mamas, It’s been a long 4 months. I’ve been sick with flu type a that turned into pneumonia… then pneumonia gave me a blood clot in my leg, that broke off and went to my lung (thank god it didn’t go to my heart) I had no symptoms until one day my leg hurt so bad and was super hot to the touch and I finally went to the er and they told me I had deep vein thrombosis and a pulmonary embolism. I was then put on a blood thinner and told not to miss a dose (I’ve obviously been struggling with money since I’m disabled) and then I was told I’d be on blood thinners the rest of my life and that it’s the only thing saving my life right now. I’m on my second course of antibiotics, hopefully they work this time. I’m trying to get into a new income based apartment, but the landlord verification is taking forever and life feels like it’s crumbling on top of me. I’m not allowed to work as I have pulmonary sarcoidosis, and pots which (iykyk) is a deadly combo. I’ve been doing gig work to keep the lights on, get the kids what they need and I’ve been trying so hard to get on top of things.. I have no family here and one friend that’s a single mom of 3 so she’s just as swamped as I am.. I’m writing this bc I’m so overwhelmed, so drained, and life feels hopeless right now. I could really use some prayers for my health to stabilize so I can work and get back on top of things.. and for me to get into this apartment. Right now, I’m living in Alaska in a dry cabin (which is a place with no water and no shower/toilet) and I’m trying to get into an income based 2 bedroom. I’m just struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel, my exs family is saying I’m faking my illness and “skating around my problems “ and frankly, I’m just depressed and don’t see the point anymore 🥺 I hope yall are doing well and I’m sorry I haven’t participated in the group more, but I genuinely love this group.

Hey friends! I appreciate all of you who have sent prayers and checked in on me. @Evelina Solis asked for an update and I want to say that I am so grateful to have this community of women who genuinely care. Thank you! Last Tuesday I had my gallbladder removed and then Thursday, they went back in and removed two stones from my bile duct. It’s dangerous for them to be there bc they can cause pancreatitis and liver failure. But, they’re gone now! Phew! I am sore but recovering well. On Saturday, we moved mom from the hospital to a home like setting that provides 24/hr care and allows the hospice services (nurses, chaplains, social workers etc) to tend to her there. It’s a b beautiful place and we feel truly blessed to have secured a spot for her here. It’s called ABODE and is in San Antonio off 410. I’ve stayed here every day and night. We thought she was transitioning last night but mom is still with us today. We anticipate she will go to be with Jesus in the next couple of days. If you still have your momma in your life, give her a hug, tell her you love her. ❤️

Hey mamas, I just wanted to post cause I need a little support and hype after being hospitalized unexpectedly for blood clots and being sick with pneumonia for two months all to find it was caused by a clot in my lungs. my daughter almost had to go into state care for a few days bc I didn’t have anyone to take her but my best friend pushed all her stuff aside to take her thank god…. It’s just been a whirlwind I’ve got eviction hanging over my head, now my health… all while dealing with two kids who are mad at me bc all they saw was mommy left… I’m a mess guys. 😩🥺
