Not a pity party...but reminders of days ahead

This year has started out pretty stressful in life but amazing in marriage and faith. Between my husband and I we have been "battling" our bodies. My husband started out with an infected tooth. It was a root canal gone bad...7 years after!! Back and forth to specialists wanting $3,000+ to "fix" it with a 75% chance that in another 7 years we'd be paying again! Or...pull it out and insurance covered it...Done. it was a molar, no big deal!! A few weeks later, I find a lump in his chest!! Scary stuff. Turns to he's fine, still has the lump and had a second opinion, it will be watched every 3 months and eventually removed. Everyone has a process!! On March 28th, he was laid off. He was the "bread winner" so to speak...he's currently still unemployed, but he has an option. But there wasn't once where we felt nervous or stressed that there wasnt much mone coming in.
On May 11th, my "turn" started. I was at a clients house, and had just carried my table up 2 flights of stairs like a champion!! I put my table down....I could no longer move. I was down and currently still am almost 3 weeks later. On May 19th, I started getting a rash...i thought, weird, I must have allergies to something! Welp, I currently still have that too...it's spreading over my body and looks like acne and doesn't itch or anything. I think I over dosed on vitex and caused an upset in my hormones. I then started my cycle and it was a weird one. Super thick?! Never experienced something like this before. The soonest appt. I have for the doc about a rash is, June 16th...yup. still waiting. Changed up the diet a little and started using dr. Bronners hemp & lavender soap, I love it!! My emotions are also off the wall, which makes sense, considering my self diagnosis. Anways, I'm just writing because I hope my next entry is better news and I just want to look at this post someday and say "ya, it was a crazy time, but look at us now"! There are tons of small details about the insurance, my son's school meetings and my job I didn't add in...
God has a plan and he's kept us going, but we have become such a strong family unit, supporting each other and loving the time we get to spend together as a family and husband & wife. I love watching us evolve and getting through another hurdle. Had I of written this yesterday, meaning sunday (it's 3:18a Tuesday may 31st.) I would have said my world is crashing down around me...I'm glad I waited. While up in the air at the moment, I love my life . Good night, xoxo
