The Holidays... And Closing 2014

12/31/2014

I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday (whichever holiday you celebrate), and that you are recovering well from all the activities. Christmas was a bit different this year, I actually got quite ill before the holiday and spent Christmas Eve & Christmas Day in bed with an IV. My amazing nurse came out on Christmas Eve to start the IV, and it meant so much that she gave up time with her family to help patients like myself who desperately needed it. By the time I got the IV I was on my final straw. I hadn't eaten in a week, I was in so much pain, so much nausea, and so many different organs hurt. The IV fluids and electrolytes were a complete life saver. Although it was not a typical Christmas, it was still so wonderful because I had my family under one roof. My family was so so supportive, they all piled into my room and watched movies with me, foregoing the typical Christmas dinner and hooplah completely. They are my support system, and they didn't waver at all when I needed them the most. So although it was not the Christmas we once knew, it was really special in its own way.

Looking back at 2014 it had a lot of highs and wonderful times, and it also had a lot of lows when my body relapsed quicker then I could stop it. However I see it as a positive thing, because if I could make it to the top once then I can make it there again. This disease is a roller coaster, but that's exactly what I remind myself of when I feel like I hit my lowest days. I remember that what goes down must go up, and that things will change. No pain can last forever, and no hard time will stay hard forever. I saw what better health felt like and now know that my body is capable of achieving it, so it can certainly do it again.

For 2015 I hope that you keep fighting and keep going full steam ahead no matter what. Sometimes we will face obstacles, but you must remember that obstacles are only temporary. You gain strength with each day you survive.

xoxo,
Christina

Christina, I'm so sorry you were sick and in bed for Christmas. Thank God your devoted nurse helped you on Christmas eve! Being in bed during the holidays is the pits, no matter what the illness is, and your family making sure you were included had shown their great love and concern for you. Says a lot about them too. Great family you have there!

Happy New Year to you, Christina, and here's hoping 2015 will be your year.to have your life back. You so deserve it.

For having a good looking home, it's also necessary to have clean and strong roof. For regular inspection of roof of your house, you can consult professional roofers who know how to repair them in correct way.
