Update

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you all that my leg is feeling a lot better. Thank god I nursed myself back to health before it became a major crisis! I know there are some Sickle Cell Warriors out there who aren't doing so great and I pray for y'all everyday!!! 

We are a family of fighters and survivors, we will get through this one step at a time!

stupid crisis

So I get annoyed whenever I go into a crisis but particularly when it is from something so simple. Last Night I was FaceTiming and charging my phone so I had to sit on my leg *BAD IDEA* as soon as I stretch my leg out BOOM pain hits me. I take some Motrin but it dosent do much. Oh! and the worst part about all this is the fact I'm at my best friends house when this happens(but her and her family are also very supportive and understanding with my Sickle Cell). When I am sick I shut down, and don't want to talk to anyone but I tried to remain chipper, but in my mind I'm screaming WHY WHY WHY?! Why must my leg be burning,pounding,aching,stabbing,throbbing, in pain right now. I woke up about every hour, twisting and turning trying to find a comfortable position. I took more Motrin and water and it's the same pain. I  had to call out of work and all but even though I am losing out on money (sad face) I need to make sure I don't get worse! This is what I have to deal with... Random bursts of pain. It really sucks, but it's what I have to deal with. It's time to find something else to do to prevent crisis other than just my Hydroxyurea. I will keep everyone updated!
