TN Sucks‼️

Today I’m going to do a cop out…what do I mean?? Well, I am just going to post some TN pix that I found online today while looking for information to put on my website! Since I started this blog to write about my daily struggle with this stupid disease that I have to live with. I haven’t really put anything about TN on here in a while. So I figured I’d do so tonight! It’s not really a whole lot of information, more like some images that appealed to me. I have no idea how the whole online copyright stuff works, so, in advance, I thank those who posted these and do not take any credit for them. They are not “my” images. I’m sure that most of the people on here are my family and friends, who aren’t going to charge me with copyright infringement or anything. I just want to give credit to those who posted them!!

These ones have information:

   
 

Look at all the nerves that come out of the Trigeminal Nerve! No wonder it hurts everywhere!!!

   

This is what they did when I had the brain surgery called Microvascular Decompression (MVD). They put Teflon in mine, not sponge!
   
  
I like these ones:

   
   
Finally, these make me smiley:

IM STILL HERE!!!

Ever hear of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome?? No? Me neither, until today when my doctor told me that’s why my knee has been bugging me. It’s not that big of a deal or a huge injury or anything, but it still hurts! I just have to do a couple extra exercises and stretches everyday to help it. What is in a name…? The name makes it sound like a scary disease or something. However, I guess it makes sense, since they think that the strong and tight quadricep muscle in my upper thigh (Femur) is pulling my knee cap (Patella) up and to the side and the muscle on my inner thigh isn’t strong enough to pull back to keep my knee cap where it belongs. So, it results in…knee pain!! Yay me!! I can only imagine all of the extra pressure that all of my joints have to deal with – because of all e weight I’ve gained over the past few years…it sucks! This is yet another reason why I’m following the 21 a Day Fix food plan and am doing another 21 day challenge! To lose weight, to find my positivity (it’s been MIA for some time now), to learn how to love myself and feel good about myself, to get fit and healthy. I also love the community. There are so many people who are cheering you on as you go! It’s surrounding myself with like minded individuals, people who want to, not only be healthy, but to be happy in their own skin…I want to be happy in my own skin!!! I haven’t been in very great shape over the past few years, not just physically, but emotionally and psychologically and spiritually as well. I’m tired of that negative, complaining, nothing makes me happy person. I know that I have a shitty disease that I have to learn to live with (& I’m not talking about the stupid Patellofemoral thing)! But, the words there are important, I have to live with it! I need to choose to live my life‼️ It may not be the life I foresaw for myself, but I can (& need to) live my life. I still am in here, hiding under all of the fat and the face pain and all the crap hat goes along with it, but I’m still here!!!! This is my life and I’m going to live it, damn-it!!! I’m still here. The landscape may have changed, the career may be down the toilet, but there is still a lot for me to do…I’M STILL HERE ‼️‼️

Bla Ditty Bla

The following is dragged out of an old notebook. It’s kind of garbage, but I’m just bla. So, either don’t bother or deal with it…lol
Tell me a story, Mommy, please!

Which story would you like my love?

The one with the fairies who hide in the flowers and live in the trees.

And then escape the monsters on the backs of doves?

Yes. That’s the one I love to hear you say!

Those mean monsters rumbled and grumbled and roared so loud!

Then the faires met by the big tree to figure out how to get away. 

And the sad little faires watched as their miniature homes fall in a mound. 

The monsters turn out to be big machines driven by people, right??

That’s right love, they’re tearing down the trees to build people houses. 

But the fairies and animals sneak away at night. 

Yes. They get away quickly and quietly as a mouse. 

But first they snuck into the machines to cut wires and poke holes

They did enough damage to slow things down

So the animals could escape, from the deer to the moles. 

And the fairies flew to a secret forest, which is why we never see them around.

Share Your Story…

Share your story, open up

You have seen and learned so very much

Share your story, let it out

Don’t hold on tightly, it takes a soft touch

Share your story, even the hard stuff 

Let others learn from your failings 

Share your story, release those negatives

Getting it out feels like deeply exhaling 

Share your story, to step out of your shell

Find ways to grow and move forward in life

Share your story, it takes courage 

Letting it out won’t cause any strife

Share your story, don’t forget the good 

Your leaps and bounds may set others soaring

Share your story, it feels good right

Expressing your true self will leave others adoring

Too Wiped

I hope that no-one has their hopes up for inspiration, or anything…I am so tired!!! We just got home and we both wanted to leave a whole lot earlier. We thought we were giving a couple (who my hubby works with) a ride home. Turns out, nope, they’re going to someone’s house. It’s not like they’re horrible people or anything, they’re actually quite nice, I like them. It probably just slipped their minds. I’m just tired is all. I need to sleep. Zzzz

Never Again Will They Trust Blindly

Share your joy, your love, yourself

Openly and freely

Show your care, your trust, your faith

Even if they push back steely 

They’ve been hurt, been wronged, been wounded

Harshly and cruelly 

They’ve lost their cares, their trust, their faith

Their resistance seems unruly

Share your honesty, your hope, your heart

Patiently and kindly

Gently break down their walls, their resistance, and their fears

For never again will they trust blindly
