This post should probably start out as IN MY OPINION.
WHO WANTS TO HEAR ALL ABOUT THE ACHES AND PAINS OF AN OLD WOMAN? Raise yo hand if you want more stories about illness? I didn't think so.
Ill HEALTH can happen to anyone even when the person is a SO-CALLED health 🥜nut. SOMETIMES GOING THROUGH HEALTH WARS can cause one to investigate in depth what's going on, why, causes, cures, etc.
I have never been so dedicated to living a life CARE-free from chemicals as I am these days. I'm to the point of being a health nut advocate, but I have so much more to learn. My efforts are changing daily as I have suffered through obesity, several cancers, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterols.
After my Gall bladder removal in 2018, I was getting ahold of the idea that maybe some of my ailments were brought on by chemicals and eating things not healthy for human consumption. Just breathing in air particles from air fresheners began to make me question what is absorbed into the lungs from what we breathe and absorbed through the skin.
I've been a suspicious person for a while, but did not pursue it to the place I should have. It was easier forgetting about all of this illness believing it would just ago away.
After a 10 year battle with urinary tract infections, I should have leaned in more and found out why I was continually getting them. I tried to find out why by visiting main stream docs and asking questions. Doctors were unable to tell me why. When the specialist I went to in Dodge City simply told me that we sometimes don't know why we get an infection, I was not comforted. By the way, he shot his wife's boyfriend which sent him to jail. No joke. Prison time.
IT WOULD SEEM THAT some of the doctors I have had are very human. Crimes of passion.
Through the years, I continued asking physicians and got nowhere until we moved to Spring, Texas. I asked the doctor if my husband and I could be passing this back and forth between us and he said, YES. Both of us were medicated and the problem ended.
I haven't been what I'd call a health nut, but I sure tried to live a healthy lifestyle so I thought. Boy, was I wrong. I've found out that the comfort zone I lived in still had all kinds of harmful chemicals and additives lurking about. GMO products and harmful chemicals has sneaked into my arena. I was fooled and have paid a price for this nonsense.
I believed the American Food Pyramid for years and tried to stick with it. Turn that puppy upside down and eliminate some things switching out some of their suggestions for healthier items. The all American Diet has some loop holes in it because of big enterprises.
Before this thing is all over I may be eating shoe strings and thinking it's alright with a side order of cardboard and dirty drinking water. The Vitamins I take and the daily medicines may be infiltrated with chemicals unknown to mankind in the consumer realm. General knowledge may not be permitted to know in which it becomes the next best kept secret in order to make a sell. Medicines we take may have ingredients that help make one sicker.
Is the system so sinister that they intentionally have created medicines that they know will make you sicker or keep you sick? Did they know by taking these meds, it will lead you to seek additional medical help in which you may be given additional meds from the allopathy world that was created by John D. Rockefeller who wanted to make more sells from his petrochemicals assuring that he'd profit? He was a very powerful man partially because of his financial status and what he owned while on planet earth. I can't say at this time who he kept company with that pulled strings and helped push buttons for success.
He saw to it that he was wealthy and made sure he'd stay that way while alive. Because of his genius in all of this, homeopathy was branded as foolishness and unworthy. The survey and studies results are not in because the ones doing the surveys work for big Pharma. They use their own people to say what they want them to say. Survey says! Usually what I want it to.
I think the best a person can do regarding food is to eat it in the most natural form possible staying away from foods that have GMO products in them with added chemicals. Though it doesn't require a college degree to read the labels on products, it does take some knowledge of what that really long word you can hardly pronounce means.
WHEAT should be given a bad wrap these days as they have seriously changed the starch content which causes health issues in humans. On the open market, this wheat makes bread look delicious, but the product when broke down in the human body cause health issues. What once was a glorious product has been bastardized into a different creature which is now a GMO of a mutated product. It was mutated and again GMO'd. Since I live near Kansas State University, it's easier to read up on what they are doing at the school. Is that propaganda? They continue to tweak wheat saying it is safe to eat when I question their sincerity. Integrity seems to have purse strings attached to grants and donations. Bummer and sobering.
The wheat at one time was altered to where the starch content was suppose to pass through the human and not be digested also making the wheat have more heads on it. What's up with that? More product produced means more $$mula$$ for the farmer and the industry.
I'll tell you in layman's terms that having a starchier product causes health issues. The consumption of GMO products like this wheat is causing diabetes in so many people. There's a diabetes epidemic going on in the United States and we can wonder why, can't we? Why? Horrible consumption of GMO food and High Fructose Corn Syrup plus added chemicals. It's legal in the U.S. of A that use chemicals that fool the human brain to eat more of the product because it taste supremely GOOD. Chemicals that fool the brain into thinking what is being eaten taste wonderful. More please. Over eating and addiction comes to mind.
The United States is behind in the world when taking off the market the chemicals that are bad for humans. That's not good at all. Here in the STATES, we are able to purchase so many products that have awful chemicals in them to make a buck for the big companies including products that have this GMO wheat in it. Best check your medicine contents to see if they have GMO corn or GMO wheat in them. Little doses of these products still adds up in your system causing health issues.
AM I UP TO GOING ACROSS THE RIVER TO THE COTTAGE to do a load of laundry, check on my house plants and just generally getting out of the house to sit upright in the blue wing chair that's in the small COTTAGE living room? First, I need to take a shower and shampoo my hair. Doing my hair will probably wear me out. Such a simple task has become a difficult one requiring so much energy. Needs to be done to stay fresh and clean. A nap may be needed afterwards. A nap. NAP.
Each day, I had hoped to grow stronger after having a hysterectomy. I still have bouts with fatigue. I'm off of the oxyCODONE, but still taking extra strength Acetaminophen alternating with Ibuprofen when needed. Yesterday, I didn't use very much. Had a few pangs I could feel in my gut. Walked a short distance is all.
SUMMER HEAT seems to be hanging around. It appears that many are turning their decorating schemes toward AUTUMN THEMES ALREADY. I'm in no hurry for FALL. The month of August is hot, but it's still Summer. Listening to the locus in the dawn of the evening is comforting even with their monotonous sound that does not change tones. Thinking it is a pleasant reminder of days gone by.
Here in a little bit, I will make a track up to the JUNQUE ROOM to retrieve a few items to bring downstairs. The room still has too much stuff in it to call it empty. Not sure where all this is going to go once it leaves the house. Perhaps it will go into storage until we can spend more time going through it to get it organized.
The JUNQUE ROOM became our attic while living here. It's a lovely blue room with huge windows to let sunshine in and should have been used for a sunroom full of houseplants. A quiet place to sit and admire peace and quiet inside a HAVEN called HOME. I don't want to have regrets, but this is one I will have to get over.
The amount of time spent in this room was next to none. Sigh. Now, we are clearing her out. In my head, I have to stage the phases it is going to take to leave this property. It seems to be taking longer than usual to relocate. The recovery time with this surgery has slowed my physical activities so the clearing out of this room is at a snail's pace and I have to relax about it and be alright with it.
Even when I was not in a recovery mode, my pace was very slow. Personally, I think so much of my fatigue has been due to not having a thyroid (age 55 thyroid cancer) and heart health due to having a heart murmur (age 6 rheumatic fever). How does my intestinal tract absorb vitamins and such? DUNNO.
I suffered with a extremely bad back and foot issues causing my efforts to go elsewhere like sitting in a chair. I was not focused at getting the JUNQUE ROOM up and going. Shortly after we moved into this nice place, my gall bladder acted up and I'd have to have it surgically removed which came with a recovery time. Surgery was in July with foot and knee pain starting up in mid August.
Was there a connection? Not sure, but it took a year and a half for my foot to get all better. I managed some chores. I sound like a sickly person. When I did choose to work upstairs, my lower back throbbed with excruciating pain, I could not stand more than 10 minutes. Needless to say, the JUNQUE ROOM stayed a mess and I sat a great deal putting weight on.
Struggling with this for a year and a half, I finally shared with my physician in which he did an x-ray and lined me up for physical therapy. The x-ray revealed a huge mass in my abdomen that looked like an artist rendition of a huge co vid icon. More than likely it was a huge calcified fibroid that.
Stubborn me decided to leave it alone. I did my physical therapy for two months and began to feel better. I now know that the fibroids in my uterus were many that were quite large causing undue pressure on my bladder and other organs.
My energy level during all of the gall bladder obstacles, knee pain with foot pain was lower than I wanted. I was struggling with energy the entire time which caused me to sit more than I wanted, but the foot pain prevented me from walking. I was living a sedentary life when I should be full of life and energy bursting from the seams. Instead I was icing my knee and foot several times a day which was needed.
With my April 2021 physical, I began to switch over to organic foods and after awhile, I truly was feeling better. Some weight came off and my spirits soared until August 2022 when abnormal vaginal bleeding returned. This stopped and getting into seeing my gynecologist took months.
After my December Gynecologist Appointment, I was ready to switch docs so I did and it took a couple of months to get in to see her. I was determined to wait to see her instead of returning to the doctor I had been with over 20 years. Then abnormal bleeding continued and to get a D and C took additional waiting. Took four months. The wait was awful. I was told I had Uterine cancer which wasn't caused by the fibroids, but by polyps I was not aware I had.
When you get a trans-vaginal sonogram, it can not distinguish between a polyp and a fibroid so I was told I had huge fibroids and there was no mention of polyps ever. All the research I had done through the years about fibroids never mentioned polyps that can become cancerous. All the time I thought the bleeding was from the fibroids.
My previous doc had not suggested doing a D an C to check out the bleeding until I visited him in December after years of having heavy bleeding episodes. After he did a colposcopy, I was not given instructions on how to mend properly. Not a word was spoken about follow-up care to mend. There was no chaperone in the room during my Pap smear or colposcopy. No prepping info beforehand for the Pap smear or Colposcopy and NO follow-up info about healing time needed was EVER given to me about the pap or colposcopy. With the two large biopsies he did, I should have been told SOMETHING.
When I began to bleed a month later, this is when I read about colposcopies and my heart sank. I was left to my own demise when it came to healing time for these biopsies. I began to wonder if I had an infection due to the process preformed in December. I decided I would find a different doctor. I was one of these people that was too trusting concerning this doctor.
How dumb of me to not ask questions that I did not know to ask. How naive of me to be so trusting.
One thing led to another and I am recovering from a hysterectomy. The uterine cancer was contained in the uterus. Praise the LORD and off I go. May I heal completely and be able to live a full life.
I have had some serious health issues and it has affected my life. My energy levels have not been good. It seems like I am seriously going to have less than I need or want. There's some frustration with this.
When I do finally get in the car to travel, I will purposely drive slower to take in the scenery as I go to the COTTAGE. What a sight that will be.
IN MY OPINION this is rambling. Tis alright. This is why I have a blog. I can rant and I can ramble. I can say nothing at all,
