A close call....

What I failed to mention on my last entry was how I have been to the ER twice in the last week! My trip to ATL left me with a blood clot! At first I thought it was just a muscle pull, I was rubbing bengay on it and waking up in the middle of the night to take Tylenol and shit. Then on Sunday morning, I could not get my ass up! I mean I was stuck in the bed! I had to pee but I could not get up! I called the ambulance and they took me to the ER in with a quickness! Omolayo was not home, she was off spending the night at the Banjoko's.
It turned out my muscle pull was actually a blood clot in my calf! I was like whoa! This type of shit only happen to 90 years old ladies named Hilda who are bed ridden from old age! And not 26 years old active single mother!
I was admitted and given injections in my stomach and IV narcotics for the pain! I was ready to get the hell out of there, I was thinking about work, and I have only been working there for like 2 weeks and shit! I called my boss to tell her that I was in the hospital and that I would be back on Wednesday at the latest. I was discharged with instructions to give myself the Lovenox injections for the next 5 days and take coumadin tablets alternating 5mg and 10mg. Then I was asked to follow up with a physician every other day till my levels were normal.
I just want to thank God for his mercies in my life! Lovenox injections are $200 a shot and Doctors visit are $100 per visit! How in the hell am I going to pay for that? I don’t have no insurance! But I remembered His word said 'He will not give you more than you can handle' so I let my Father do His job. I was given all the medication for free and as if that was not miraculous enough, on my first visit to the doctor the receptionist asked for my $100 and the doctor interrupted her that my visits would be free of charge! Jesus loves me yes I know!!!!
On my second visit, I was told that the blood levels were still the same and that I was not making progress, so I was readmitted to the hospital, this time I bypassed the ER. After 3 nights in the hospital, I am healed! My levels are where they ought to be but I still need to be on coumadin indefinitely, from where I'm coming, that is a small price to pay. I just want to thank God that he found me worthy of his mercy and he blessed me with His healing power.
Dare, Denrele, and Dupe……I thank you guys for holding Molayo down while I was MIA, I pray that I will be able to bless you in more ways than you've blessed me. A special thank you to GOD….you make my world all right!
