The last few days have been very busy for me. I’m really glad that things happen the way they did and I took time off from Facebook. We worked in the yard this afternoon and I shared that birds nest on Facebook this afternoon. They always love to build their nest in my hydrangea bushes. We took a walk earlier this morning and I thought I would share that with you as well just photos. It has been a beautiful day today. Nice warm and sunny. Just the way I like it, with the braids that’s perfect. do you know as we get older not only do we have little things and sometimes big things go wrong in our lives. I find that in my older years I’m more sensitive than I used to be in so many things. I try hard not to be because I know it’s just something in me that’s changing. The last few months probably the last four months I have been dealing with what they are calling painful bladder syndrome, or PBS, or also known as IC. I’m not gonna go into sharing the symptoms with you guys. I can just tell you this it feels like you have a UTI but you don’t and it’s constant with bladder pressure that causes lower back pain. So I’ve been seeing the chiropractor to try to help with the back pain and it has helped. Right now they don’t seem to have any medication for it. It’s something new and they don’t know. How to treat it leave it to me to end up with something like that ha! I also have peripheral neuropathy in my feet, but it’s from nerve damage. I’m not a diabetic some nights that keeps me up all night long I’m not one to take pain medication, so I deal with it. I toss and turn all night long, so I’ve moved to the upstairs bedroom at night so that I don’t wake Mr. shabby all night long because he still works and I don’t not full-time anyway. Speaking of not working full-time. I have had a part-time job. It will be nine years this June. I found out this month that this most likely will be my last month. They no longer have the money for me and one other person.. That’s going to be a hard blow to my budget as I have been going through more major dental work. I think I should should’ve just gotten dentures. Not one but three dentist that without implants, I didn’t have enough bone left to even hold the dentures. Many of you who know me know about I was very sick and they couldn’t find out what was wrong with me. I ended up going to a new doctor and my first visit from all work and called me that night to tell me that my parathyroid glands were bad all four of them and they had taken all of the calcium from my bones and put it into my bloodstream and that was why my calcium level was double what it should be, and why I was feeling so poorly. I had those parathyroid glands removed seven years ago and they left half of one. It took about two years for my thyroid to regulate itself and the calcium to go back into my bones but the damage was done. one year I had gone from strong bones to osteoporosis. I think I’m just like the rest of you that suffer with this and that or the other I just keep going and keep going. Keep pushing. I’ve laughed before on Facebook state saying that this is called the golden years, mine are not as golden as they are year’s, mine are not as golden as they are Rusty. Tomorrow morning I will be at a new euro gynecologist, hoping to find some type of treatment that will help with this UTI feeling constantly. It really does put a damper on everything. Still waiting for my upper bone to heal from a tooth that had to be cit out in November. Hopefully I’ll get my permanent bridge May or June. I have been working hard and saving every time I could to pay You know dental work is very expensive, but this is less than implants for dentures. so you guys please forgive me if I’ve just been moody lately, my plate is full and all I can do is just turn to God and cry out and believe me I do. I hope you have all had a beautiful, relaxing Sunday, as I said we walked this morning and then we worked in our yard today so I’m gonna share a photo with you guys And I wish you all a wonderful Sunday afternoon. God bless.
Love,
Debbie 💕

Praying that the days ahead bring some Sonshine as He is carrying you threw this.
I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I can relate to these “Rusty Years “ I’m dreading going to the dentist and I’ve put it off for a long time. Praying for you for healing 🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
Deborah, thank you 🩷
I didn’t share this but wanted to tell you that my appointment wasn’t great doctors!!!! I’m going to start physical therapy for the pelvic floor. I will see if that helps. We will go from there. I’m sorry to hear about your ulcerative colitis. I know that is extremely painful. I have IBS and it comes with C and D. I’ve never know which day is gonna be white, so I know about some of that, prayers for you my sweet friend and that’s right do not let anyone gaslight you. You know when you’re being manipulated you don’t have to take it I’m with you. ♥️♥️♥️

I am so sorry you are having so many medical issues. I will continue prayer that God will give you peace and healing.
I’m sorry Debbie, for all that you’re going through. I pray for you.🙏💕 I know what neuropathy pain feels like and back pain I’ve had two back surgeries. I have a lot of health issues that I won’t go into. We need to have faith in God that in his timing all pain will be eased. 🙏💕
Dear Debbie, you are so right about things changing with age! I know I complain to much about a certain situation or whatever. Then I ask the Lord to forgive me and help me not to complain so much. My feelings seem to be open to hurt so much. Please know you are in my prayers daily! So thankful God is faithful and always helps us bear whatever comes our way. Pray you get answers and feel better soon. Love and prayers.🙏✝️💖

Debbie, I’m so sorry that this is happening to you. I will definitely be praying. Getting older for me has been difficult, especially the last two years. So many things going on in my body. I need to try to get outside and walk, I just don’t have much energy anymore. I love all the beautiful pictures you share, and that helps brighten the bad days. Praying for you, as always!

I could have almost written your blog yesterday. Around 8 or 9 years ago I have 1 parathyroid removed. I think I might have messaged you when you were going through that. Fast forward to today….I have a burning issue that started on November4th. I have seen 9 either doctors or P.A.’s. Numerous antibiotics, creams (none of which worked), burned more, and many swabs. My most recent doctor is a urogynocologist. I have only seen him once and I go back next week. He did finally give me a diagnosis, something the gynourologist could not. I will be praying for healing, comfort and peace for you.
Well, the Dr that removed mine said 2 were good but, he would not remove only 2 he told me (take it for what it is worth) that he would leave 1/2 of a good one and it would do all the work needed. Otherwise old have issues down the road. Now, was that or is that true? I have no idea. As far as I know I’ve had no issues from the surgery. It was not hard for t healed well. But it took me a year to feel energized again that much I do know it’s been seven years for me and so far praise the Lord and I mean praise the Lord that’s OK that part of me I believe has healed I promise you I hope they get to whatever is causing yours, there’s just nothing like nagging pain or discomfort. 🩷🩷
Oh my .. I’m so sorry you are going thru so much you are in my thoughts and prayers my friend.. I know the struggles of constant pain. Hoping you had a nice Sunday ❤️🙏
Debbie, you have certainly had your share of health issues. I pray for your healing and God’s Grace to give you strength every single day, sweet friend. You are one strong woman! Hope you get positive answers when you see your doctor in the morning. Love you, Susan
Yes ma’am that I have. I feel blessed however nothing has been life threatening. But, one does tire of constant pain or one thing after another at times. I just have to remember who is in charge of my life ✝️
Praying you feel better soon!
Thank you so much, as am I no one wants to hurt or be uncomfortable all of the time. It can be exhausting, but I do have moments for the pain eases tremendously, and I can go about my day, and I just let myself forget that there was pain.
Oh, Debbie… I’ve been going through similar things bladder wise. I had no idea there was a name for it. It feels like some kind of inflammation, though. I’ll pray forcyou , my friend 🥰
Mellie, if you will read about painful bladder syndrome, from everything, I’ve read and heard it is caused by inflammation. They think the bladder gets inflamed. And you have to be very careful about what you drink and how much you drink no caffeine whatsoever no chocolate and no spicy foods. That I’ve read, and I have learned that it is true to fact for me. Also, I do take a prescription Azo they only want you to take those for so long, but they do help. There are many other things that help, if you would like to PM, me I’ll be glad to share them with you.
So sorry you’re having health issues! Getting older is not for wimps! I can relate! Praying for you.
No, it certainly isn’t, you have a wonderful day
❤️
I’m sorry that you have been going through all this Debbie, I pray that there is sunshine after the rain, joy and better health after the pain.
Debbie, I lift you up to the Almighty and in His grace and mercy heal you from all of your problems. That the doctors would help you with pain relief and give your body time to heal itself. He is near you and loves you and will never leave you.
Debbie, I’m sorry you are having to go through all of this. Aging is not easy. Know that you are not alone. I enjoy following your journey through your posts. Praying for you my friend.
