KARMA(N) IS A BITCH

WHOEVER SAID KARMA IS A BITCH IS RIGHT

It's 2:49am, and I am up for a bit. I have been having an issue w/ my right hip or lower pelvis. Wish I knew where exactly this pain is coming from. All I know is that this is pain that is not going away and I am doubling up on pain meds. The only relief I am getting is being knocked out, otherwise the meds ARE NOT working. Relief would be nice.

I guess I am getting paid back for all the times I have mad fun of older people, younger people, heck any kind of people. I am a true believer in "What goes around, comes around". I can remember talking to my "Gram" on several occasions about her health issue. Bless her heart, she was a gem. She would have been 100 this past Oct. Hard to believe. When she was still able to drive to our home in Morrisonville IL from my Aunt's in Chicago, or her own home in Arkansas, she would visit us once or twice a year. She would drag her bag of meds with her. "What is this one for?" I would ask her. She had pills, different shapes, and colors. She also had eye drops for her glaucoma. Gram was a walking pharmacy. I think she was on a water pill, a diabetes pill, one was for her heart. I can't remember them all. I was just a teenager then without a care in the world except my passion then, "BOYS". Poor Gram would be talking about how hot it was (what woman call "hot flashes"). I can still hear in my ears saying, "Oh Gram, you are so funny", while laughing it off. Only now I know sort of what she was going through back then, because now I am my grandma.

Because I haven't taken care of my self. I am on "SEVERAL" pills myself. I should know better, I do know better because of mountains of information available, because not only was my mom a nurse in her hey day, but my sister is a chemist with some of the smartest brains I know. I am on a pill for diabetes, water pill, 2 for cholesterol, one for arthritis. The total is 6 or 7. I am tired of pill. I have so many to take in the a.m., and I have two I take in the p.m. I also have my kids laughing at me because at only 50, they treat me like I am in my 80's. 

I have had my left hip replaced, both eyes had cataracts removed, osteoarthritis in the lower pelvis, hips, knees, and hands. I am what you would say "A BIG HOT MESS". Until I can get my act together the pills and pain will remain part of my life. I can only pray I don't wait until it is to late.

DID I SAY KARMA IS A BITCH?
