Well I missed my very first Blog Post yesterday I was disappointed in myself but I was unfortunately incapacitated by some kind of poison in my system.
Quick back story I was in Chicago visiting my daughter and soon to be son-in-law and so excited about going on the hunt for the perfect pair of bridal shoes for her first actual wedding dress fitting the next day. My daughter and I went out to eat the night before giggling and laughing catching up as we went to a couple of stores with no luck. But hey we had the next day and a plan after her Law School class we would rendezvous to find those perfect shoes.
So our day started and unfortunately I was feeling off I kept telling her it feels like I was slipped a Mickey. I was feeling dizzy and at times ready to pass out but I did not want to ruin this day we had a mission. As we were racing from one store to the next shopping for those shoes before our 6:30pm appointment dress fitting I got worse and very sick food poisoning ahhhhhh no! Not only do we think I had food poisoning and all that comes and goes with it but a massive migraine on top of it. But I was determined we would find the perfect shoes before I dropped which happily we did but sadly I was too ill for us to make it to the fitting. But the good news is that has been rescheduled.
As I laid their head pounding every noise amplified and sick to my stomach where I couldn't eat or drink I kept thinking is this what these children with Leukemia, Lymphoma or Myeloma feel like? Is this even part of the pain they experience when there is poison in their body as the blood cancer take over. The big difference is I knew as painful it seemed for me at the time we could get to the pharmacy walk in and get two extra strength migraine tablets and flush out the food poisoning with a ton of water.
And then we started thinking why couldn't it be that way for those with blood cancer why is there no easy fix? For me I knew I would be better in the morning which I am. But how about for those 900,000 battling there is no end in sight because there is no cure. But with your help we can change that with funding research and find that cure.
Just imagine let's fast forward to the future when another child or loved one is diagnosed with blood cancer and you can just run to the pharmacy and pick up two extra strength tablets or a shot or something as easy. And it would be all because of people like you who donated to this cause so in the next 10 minutes we won't lose another to this killer disease. Let's make that a reality together... http://www.in.llsevent.org/pam
