Having other ailments that slow me down /Christmas 2016 is over

Listing my health issues

Asthma
Post traumatic Fibromyalgia
Functional Dystonia
Central sleep Apnoea
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
chronic back pain
chronic fatigue syndrome
M.E
IBS


I have struggled for many years with M.E and it hasn't been easy as this comes with many symptoms that can fluctuate and really debilitate how I cope with day to day with  Homelife and what you may do in your own life.
Every Day
1: joint pain
2: fatigue
3: concentration
4: memory and attention problems
5: clumsiness, walking difficulties
6: Sore throat, enlarged glands
7: Headaches and continuous pain
8: Problems with being Hot and cold especially when your hot the other person maybe freezing
9: like having a bout of flu but just forever
10: Bowel problems
11: Emotional issues or typical mood swings
12: typical sleep disturbance



I have struggled with all of the above ailments along with having chronic fatigue and much of a day is spent sleeping for many hours. Lots of the time it's a real nuisance because their maybe things in the day that I would like to do.  Im often saying I wanted to read a book or watch varied tv programmes pop out and go with my husband to pick up some shopping  . Or now its Christmas time I'm running out of time for seasonal shopping for the family due to sleep antics. Also there is my blog to talk about how I'm feeling to express my views and share with my readers and followers.

Christmas 2016 is over 

Well Christmas is over and its now time for my body to catch up with itself ....Christmas has exhausted me even though I didn't do anything very much . Now my body clock has caught up a little more its been easier to rest, January  i thought would be easier but in fact its been difficult time after the loss of Angela our grandchildren other nan. Angela struggled but fought the fight well but had terminal cancer. Angela was actually given the year before as her last year but fortunately she battled and managed to live through another year. This was very sad for us all as we all thought a lot of her . our grandchildren especially were very close to her and Angela would often take them out and do all the exciting things . I was more the grandma that gave the cuddles and read stories and tried to teach the kids different things that hadn't heard of . Angela was the one with all the energy to take them to parks ect. Im always the one thats tired that has to sleep and the children say that now they are getting older. It was nice to have Christmas over as the mixture of emotions with the loss of Angela and our youngest daughter being in Australia for Christmas.



Super Rant Time 

Sponsored children in Honduras

 Also just prior to Christmas I was sponsoring children in Honduras and had been doing this for a

Long period of time. Just before Christmas they asked me for a payment before the date I would

normally pay.  So this was difficult because of the time of the month,  and the Christmas season .

 You know when you're juggling the whole Christmas scenario . Otherwise their plan was to

discontinue my sponsorships. I was absolutely broken hearted because I'm the type of person that

Wears my heart on my sleeve and hadn't seen this coming .  So unfortunately i was an emotional

 mess whilst in attendance the mayors charity  performance of Aladdin . Unless you share the same

 Compassionate ways as me you wouldn't  understand what it does to someone like me as I'm very

committed . We were attending with our grandchildren and it was supposed to be a very special time

and hoping there evening was spectacular. All through the show even though i had advised them i

would get back to them in two hours after the performance  I was being messaged and i was trying to

save the children I had . I was now down to 10 but intentionally I planned to keep 15 or more . So in

 view of my disagreement to them taking 8 children from my account i was very angry at the time but

still remained calm even though i was hurting like crazy. Also what was difficult was that i got such

lovely letters from the children and from parents  and we had a great bond.  So obviously i was very

upset and angry and wanted to keep the 10 at least. I had been in contact with some of these children

quite a long time and i hadn't contemplated this situation . My plan was to see them grow up and visit

them in the next few years.  This would be when i felt better about travelling so far from home.   I

prayed that i would get the chance visit them as some were very  emotional in there letters and

wanted the chance to meet us.  I remember one of the children said they would meet me at their

church when i came to visit. They said they would be there waiting until we arrived it made my heart

 melt. Christmas had passed and the company that run this sponsorship programme  had a new

payment system that had been set a few months before.  The final remaining 10 children that i had

been helping since the get go the organisation decided they didn't want my money. they decided it

would be best to dissolve the sponsorships . Well i thought what a great start to the year but in the

back of my mind i somehow thought they would do this so i wasn't to shocked this time

The Shock Factor Cancer , Now and Post Cancer Blues

Three years ago in  December  I was told I had breast cancer can you imagine it was those words  you don't expect to hear and always think it's someone else .  Extracts from my blog  from when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and how my husband , family my daughters and my son , friends and my sponsored children kept me ticking over .  This I felt I needed to add as I felt my calling and last year was such a shock I think I didn't write as much as I would have liked to but I have come back with avengence writing more and even now wanting to do the Live below the line challenge and I'm still here for my husband , daughters, son and friends .

After breast Cancer /what we were like and now

What we looked like 2 years ago  Post -Cancer Blues  The one thing i wasn't prepared for was Post Cancer Blues !!! I  really thought i dealt with the whole situation very well i hardly cried throughout the cancer progress and chemotherapy . Then the brick wall came with full force when all of my treatments stopped . I cannot tell you how many times i cried in a day because it was so many times .I wasn't prepared to have a complete melt down. Please prepare yourself for the possible onslaught of this . I thought i would be absolutely fine and ready to up and go again . I  was so far from the absolute truth . I thought in my mind that i would feel relief but in honesty i think i was struggling knowing what i had just been through . I felt lucky to still be alive but i couldn't get into doing anything i may of done before . i struggled picking up the phone , writing letters , functioning at good pace. every day was a fight with myself .  I felt vul...

My sponsored children with World Vision and Children International

Just recently i took the plunge to sponsor with two new organisations to our family after so much stress with another organisation. It was lovely to be treated with so much love and care and respect and so easy to pay . One thing is nice is that you can sponsor any child that you would like to. I took time in sponsoring because each child is a blessing and mostly with the guidance of God I was able to patiently think things through. I knew if I was meant to sponosr the children I had seen then they would still be there for me. First of all sponsored 2 children with world Vision. My first choice was Ana Clara who was pointed to by a friend who sponsors with many other organisations. I had seen another child I had thought of sponsoring but after a few days I knew it was Ana Clara that I needed to choose and luckily World vision have little videos which help you in a few minutes to gage what sort of personalty they have. Its sweet to hear them talk and Ana shined bless her and she was wea...
