Praying In Public

I know for some people when they hear the word pray or praying they think Oh Lawd, the roof is going to cave in. If you think like that, then maybe you are one of many that need some Jesus in your life anyways. I am not perfect and I sure don't claim that I am perfect in any shape at all. I love the Lord and wish that I was serving him better than what I am doing. Anyways, on to the topic.

Several weeks ago, my mom and I went to a place to eat and these 4 guys come in and they sat down at their table and prayed before they ate. During their prayer, my mom and I stopped eating and we had our own prayer along with them. I was telling my mom, I really miss us praying in public, she nodded her head and agreed, I told her, you used to see everyone do it, and she nodded and agreed again. I brought up, how we used to always do it no matter where we were before we ate, and she agreed again.

I say if you want to pray in public, you go right on ahead and do it. If someone don't like it, they can go on and not pay you a lick of attention. It is your right as an american to have that freedom and to show it. I also believe that a lot of people have lost their way in believing what other people have to say on what they don't like seeing. I am sorry, I would rather know that people have their faith and kept it than lost it along the way bc of some ignorant person causing a problem.

I say if that one person sees someone praying and they used to pray themselves, they will find their way again and not let anyone take it away from them again. Praying is what makes or breaks someone. We all pray in our own way, no matter what our religion is or who we pray to. Keep it up, believe how you have always believed, don't loose your way. If you have lost your way and then found your way again, try your best to hang on to it.

Topics To Blog Over

I have a list that I have said in the past of topics that people would like to hear my opinion on or what my take is on certain things. I have already posted a couple of things before I had my surgery. I am sorry that I have had this bouncing around ordeal. I am going to try and blog at least once or twice a day if not more (I know I have said that too, sorry).

If you can think of anything that you would like to see my opinion over, you can fill out the form below or you can e-mail me directly at mrs.spookyboo@gmail.com it is all up to you if you want to do that or not. No sweat off my back. All up to you. The next couple of days, I am going to be posting over the topics:

Praying In Public
Parades
Racism
Cheating VS Relationship
Public Restrooms

There may be a few more other than that, but those are the one's that I am going to post over as of right now. I may or may not throw in a few more. I have a long list, so, it all depends on if I feel like I have anything to say at that moment over that subject. I do know that I have always had something to say over these topics. Hope to see more from you soon. :)

TMI Post (you were warned)

I had my first real bm today (bowel movement aka poop) since my hysterectomy and omg, it was awful. It was like pooping out tar that smelled like a hog pen. I wanted to run out of there and if I wasn't the one doing the business I would have been out of there upon first smell. It is also a good thing that I asked the hospital for gloves before I left. When you ain't had a good poop, those gloves come in handy, if you know what I mean. Yeah, you are saying ewww, but if you are ever in that position where you absolutely need to go and it is to big to come out, then you will do what you got to do.

Especially if you aren't able to have an enema and you can't strain to get anything out so gloves and a little outer layer stretch really helps. Hey, better than the constant miralax, stool softners, and other things, that after awhile just makes you bloated and makes you want to go even more and longer. Yes, I had to go there.

Hopefully it will get loads better, but only time will tell. I will post later on tonight. I am gonna go and lay down. Yes, that took a lot out of me, literally in more ways than one.

Going Crazy

The holiday is right around the corner and it is friggin crazy. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and it is like where in the world has this year gone. My stomach is hurting. I have been constipated and nauseated. I miss my kids like crazy. I am going to be stuck with my husbands kids when it comes Friday. I am not ready for that. I have been less stressed without them here. I love them little boogers, but when they are here all they do is yell argue and fight with each other.

All I can do is hope pray that they will get along and hope and pray that they aren't sick like they almost always are whenever they are. I also really think that hubby's ex has something up her sleeve as well. I am not sure as to what it is, but something is up her sleeve. She is wanting to bring the kids the whole way, which she never wants to do out of the blue. She also demanded that my hubby buy his kids clothes to send to her house for them to wear, her knowing that he doesn't work right now. I just dunno what to think about anything anymore. I still have a lot of things going on anymore, just not sure what to think about a few things.

Anyways, guess I have ranted and raved enough. 

Post Op Update Day 9

Well, day 9 post op, all kinds of things have happened these last few days, I have had major gas that smells gosh awful, rofl. I mean even I want to run from it and it seeps through tons of covers as well even when covered up and not moving. Dogs don't even want to be under the covers either which I don't blame them either. 

I have over done it the last few days and my body has let me know just by letting me spot. Since I have rested a day and a half, I haven't spotted anymore which I am very very glad about. I am a member to a few hysterectomy boards that are pretty awesome. The women are awesome as well. Yesterday we had our early Christmas and I was afraid that I wasn't going to be up to helping out with setting the table or being able to set up for a long time to take pictures of everyone opening their presents and just enjoying the family and playing with my nieces and nephew. 

Everyone enjoyed themselves and got some pretty good presents. I hope after my weight loss surgery I continue to feel better about myself and about being in the skin that I am in.

A few more tips on a hysterectomy, is listen to your body, no matter how well you feel, your body will let you know exactly how much you have overdone it or not. If you get nauseated, it is time to sit and rest, if you start spotting, time to rest, if you start cramping, time to rest, and I don't mean sit down a few mins and do what you were doing, I mean hours on top of hours. If you want to go shopping, get a motorized wheelchair, if someone says something to you, tell them you just had a hysterectomy, and you aren't going to be getting up and walking, per the doctors orders, and if they try to say anything else, you just go about your business and enjoy every single bit of the shopping that you have to do. If you are about to have surgery, make sure to ask questions and do research. I needed mine a lot, because I was so miserable and bed ridden when it was that time of the month. I would rather be up and playing with my kids than stuck in bed hurting to bad to move.

If you have any questions feel free to msg me or contact me. I would be more than willing to help you out. :)

Hysterectomy Update Day 5

Well, I am still kinda hurting, but the weather is being all kinds of screwy today. Still curled up with the heating pad. I am passing a lot of gas, which is a good thing and I have been able to have a few small bowel movements, still need to be able to have more, I have done what I can to increase the process of pooping, just not working as quickly or as well as what I was hoping, but then again, I was told my bowels would still be asleep for about 6 days post op anyways, so at least I am doing good as it is anyways.

No straining when trying to poop, don't lean over to much, don't over do yourself, my discharge papers say that over and over and over again. Lol. I guess they know that I am hard headed and don't really like to listen to anything at all and that when I get started to doing something and I am energized to do it, I am going to majorly over do myself. I have had 3 back surgeries so of course it is really hard for me to know when I am over doing it and they said my body will know it when I start bleeding or spotting, so apparently I am good to go, since I haven't done either since I have been in the hospital.

I have also read and talked to a lot of ladies that have been really emotional since their surgeries, and I was so excited that I hadn't been emotional, and then tonight of all nights, all kinds of things go through my head and I break down crying and wanted to kick myself in the butt for going through with the surgery, but I know for a fact that this was a very much needed surgery. Well, it is time to go eat and then watch some netflix.

Hysterectomy Update Day 4

Post Op Day 4, Well, I am really thinking yesterday was a really bad idea. Today I am hurting pretty bad. My parents gave me a heating pad, and the heating pad has been my best friend all day long. If I thought today would be a result from yesterday, I most definently wouldn't of walked to my mom and dads. I asked my husband about the weather and he said that it was getting cooler outside so that explained it somewhat on what I am sorer today than yesterday. So far, I have stayed in bed all day. It has all been light cramping, thankfully no bleeding or spotting.

I haven't been peeing a lot but I figure it is because I am not taking in much of anything in either. All I want to do is lay here and rest. I don't want to do anything else. I am hoping tomorrow will be better and the weather will be better as well. I just wanted to update a little bit. Gonna lay back down.

Hysterectomy Update Day 3

Well here is my Day 3 Update. Or another Words Post Op Day 3. Today I have felt wonderful. Per discharge papers, I am supposed to be on bedrest for a week but I am very impatient, lol. I ended up, walking to my mom and dads (slowly but surely) even though they live next door. I was so glad to be able to sit upright in a chair, even though I wasn't upright, upright, it felt good enough. 

It felt awesome outside and felt really great to be outside as well, I have so much stuff I need to do, but I know that I need to take it easy, because I know how bad I like to over do myself. I haven't been bleeding at all today, have very very very minor cramps, which is perfectly fine with me. I did notice that I have a big bruise on my left shoulder, it looks like finger prints, but I figure I wasn't far enough down on the table and they had to push me down some or something. I always come out of surgeries with bruises in places there shouldn't be bruises, but there is almost always an explination for them. Well, I am going to lay down, I am getting a little bit sleepy. Hope you all have a great day/night.

Hysterectomy Update Day 2

Well Day 2, the nurse woke me up at 4:50 am and told me that instead of taking the packing and catheter out at 6 am she was going to take it out at 5:30 am. Then I ended up dozing off and about 5:20 am, she came back in there and asked if I was ready, because she was going to go ahead and take my packing and catheter out. I was glad and leary at the same time, because all I could think about is how bad the packing had hurt when they took it out of my ankle when I had my ankle surgeries. So I am thinking of that pain, just in my who ha.

Well, the nurse pulled the catheter out first, that is where some of the cramping had ended up coming from, then the nurse asked me if I wanted to press the morphine button before she pulled the packing out, I went ahead and pressed it, because I was so scared that it would hurt so bad. She then asked if I was ready and I told her yes, she started pulling it out, and the more she pulled, the more the cramping went away, that was a major relief to me, I told her, that and the catheter was all of the bad cramping that I had had. The nurse said it seemed like the catheter might of irritated me and I told her no, it is because I had a bladder tack up as well, and she was like, oh, ok, well yeah that explained why they left the catheter in so long.

I feel so much better though. I have been passing gas and the nurses where already surprised that I was up and walking yesterday (because I felt like I had to poo). They were even more surprised today that shortly after they took my catheter out that I was using the bathroom. They put a little hat in the commode for me to pee in so they could count my output about like the bag of the catheter and each pee, I filled that thing up. Lol. They had me on fluids along with what I was already drinking. My doctor told me yesterday that I would probably be able to go home today since I have done great, but she was off this weekend and that another doctor (that was in my surgery with her) was going to come and talk to me and see how I was and stuff. He came in here and talked to me at noon and told me all looked well and I seemed to be doing great, I have walked around and moved about without little or no pain. All is doing good, and really no bleeding at all. I have been sent home with discharge papers, which I will update about later on. Time for me to rest.

Hysterectomy

As most of you might know I had my hysterectomy today, It wasn't nearly as bad as what I had thought it would be. I do have some cramping, but I also have some packing and a catheter in me as well. I missed my sons field trip today and I really regret it, but I am hoping and praying that his next field trip I am able to be able to go on. His birthday will be on the 19th, and I am hoping that I won't be hurting very bad whenever his birthday comes.

Most of you may be wondering how the cramping feels, well if you have had children, the cramping feels like labor, if you haven't had children, then the cramping feels like really bad menstrual cramps.
Well, other than being hooked up to a morphine pump, antibiotics, and fluids, and the cramping, I am pretty good. Just sleepy, since the anesthesia is still in me. The only other meds that I am being given is Ibuprofen and Stool Softners. 

So far, this is the only update. They are supposed to take my catheter and packing out in the morning about 6am. I am really hoping that it doesn't hurt and that it is more of a relief. I will update you all later on when I am able. Right now, I am kinda dozing.

Black Friday Sales

I personally think that Black Friday Sales are ridiculous. For one, why is it called Black Friday Sales? It absolutely has nothing to do with anything black, so it doesn't make sense to me. Why not call it White Friday or Pink Friday or Yellow Friday or Green Friday or Brown Friday, etc, you know? It just don't make no dang sense on why in the world you would choose Black Friday.

Anywho, back to what I was saying, yes, some of the sales are really good, I admit that, but why in the world would you go to a sale, where you are going to act like a dang fool or get into a fight with other people that are acting like dang fools? It just don't make any sense at all. I have been to a Friday Sale like that 1 time in all of my life, mind you, my oldest was about 6 months old and I was pregnant with my youngest, my husband at the time only wanted to go in for a gaming system, which I thought he was going to get more than that, you had people stealing other peoples cell phones out of their pockets, you people stealing things out of other peoples carts, I mean really? Why are you going to act like a dagum fool? You are there to get your loved one's or yourself a good deal on a great gift, so there is no sense of showing your butt when trying to do it. Act civilized for once in your life or at least act like you were taught some manners.

I say forget the staying all night and waking up early in the morning for the line and so on and so forth, wait for everyone to thin out and the idiots get done showing their butts and go home with their presents and while they are wrapping their gifts or throwing a fit while they are at home trying to put their stuff together or what not, you will be shopping and getting the deals on the stuff that wasn't gotten. Think of it like that, it is worth it.

Also, don't take it out on the workers like it is their fault if something isn't on a special or if something is out of stock, if it is out of stock, GET A RAIN CHECK!!! Anyways, there we go, that is my advice on that.

Thanksgiving

I have gotten a lot of topics that people have wanted to see my opinions on. A lot of the topics there are most def opinions that I have on them. 

Let's see, what do I think about THANKSGIVING aka TURKEY DAY.

Thanksgiving is a time that family gets together, and you are supposed to get together and be thankful for the one's that you have and for the blessing that you have. If you invite people to Thanksgiving that have burned their bridges with you or other bridges with people that are going to be at the Thanksgiving dinner, then you need to make sure that they put all the differences aside and let the bygones be bygones. Each and every year family ends up loosing or gaining members around holidays, and we end up mourning the losses of the loved one's that we have already lost and the loved ones that we have just lost if any.

When you sit down for a family meal, put all the differences to the side, all of that crap doesn't need to be brought up in front of everyone. It just makes the meal be stressful for everyone including the children or babies that are their that can pick up on it or have to listen to it as well, not to mention it makes family members end up leaving. Nobody wants that. It isn't right for anyone. So please take my advice, if you were invited to a family meal whether it be for Thanksgiving or Christmas, or any other family meals, put everything to the side no matter how bad you want to lash out, it just makes everyone not want to be around you and if you feel like you cant be quiet or nice around the person that you have problems with, then DON'T GO, STAY HOME. It will be better for you and everyone else in the long run.

Surgery Call/Confirmation

I am having a hysterectomy on December 12, 2014. I will be 31 on Saturday. I am excited to finally get this done. I had to call the doctor/nurse yesterday to find out how I would be cut. I only thought that there was one way to have the procedure done and to my surprise when I got home, BOY WAS I WRONG!!! I found a video of a vaginal hysterectomy where the bladder was prolapsed (my bladder will have to be tacked up after my hysterectomy) and I got literally 45 secs into it and I was cringing and saying omg, I really hope that I don't have that procedure done to me. That looks so frigging painful and OUCH, I bet that woman is glad she is asleep, I know I would be.

Well, I joined a hysterectomy group on facebook and I was like well maybe I can get more insight from them on how their doctors done their procedures, most of theirs was the same, but the more some of them talked, the more I wondered what exactly my procedure was going to consist of. So I took it upon myself to call the office and talk to the nurse with a few questions.

The video I watched 45 secs of, IS what they will be doing to me, but on a good note, I will be asleep and I won't have any outer incisions, but I know my insides will be hurting like crazy and I know that I will be on bed rest for awhile. I have gotten a lot of information from all of these great ladies and I am just so excited and ready to get all of this out and not have to worry about all of this mess anymore.

First Post

I just wanted to say hi to everyone. As I have previously stated, this is my first post. YAY!!! Lol. I go by the nickname Mrs.Spooky or Mrs.Spookster because a lot of people find me spooky or creepy because unlike some people I am very hard to figure out. As I stated in the section about me, I am many things rolled up in one person.

I am fixing to be 31 years old. I am a mother, a wife, a clairvoyant (some know me as a sensative), I am also a paranormal investigator (ghost hunter), yes I have had many experiences as well as other people in my family that has had the same gift as I. I am bi-polar. I have weight problems. I have back problems. I have been bullied. I have been married multiple times, I can keep going on, but I am sure it would bore you to death.

Some people have seen my blogs in the past and said that my blogs are very interesting but they look like I am writing journals. If you get tired of reading, just read what you can or what you want, exit out and come back to it. If you don't find the topic appealing, don't read it. I do have ADHD, so I do end up going off topics at time as well. Lol, fun oh fun huh?

You are probably thinking by now this girl has done lost her brains or she may seem cool, or I am going to watch and see how this turns out. I don't blame you one bit at all. I would watch myself 24/7 if I could if I didn't look stupid carrying a mirror everywhere I went. :) 

Oh and like I said before I am going to try not to cuss (believe me that is going to be really hard) but on a previous blog I have learned that even though everyone was warned ahead of time, they ended up just disappearing, either my cussing got to them or the aliens did. Anyways, thank you all for reading. I plan on posting every day, I may post a lot more than that, just when the mood strikes.

Bye All.

Weight Loss Journey

Well, I have decided to try and get a gastric bypass. I am doing my weight loss requirement right now with my dr and it seems to be going smooth for right now. It seems to be taking forever though. I am trying my hardest but it seems like there is a lot of stuff to be done. I am hoping that I can do something soon. I see the dr every month. I thought after I had the hysterectomy that everything was going to be easy to loose weight, but boy was I wrong, I gain 5 pounds, loose 10, gain 20 loose 5, and so on and on so forth. Dr put me on meds, so we will see how this goes.
