I was trying not to get sick for the whole year of 2012. December, ahh, I'm still good, I will be celebrating my birthday with good health. Second week of December I felt a swell in my left leg which prompted me to seek medical attention. I was given medicines and advised to elevate my legs most of the time. Swelling was still there until on the third week, December 18, I was advised for admission. Admission on the day of my birthday? It was so disgusting, you spent your birthday in a hospital bed. I have no other choice but to follow my doctors advice. Such admission have a positive and negative effect on me. Positive because I was able to rest and reflect. Negative because a lot of work will be left out. I have requested to be discharged before December 25 and was allowed by my Doctor but was still advised to continue my medications with hep-lock.Assessing things, we can never run our lives according to what we like and how we like it. Planning is good but to certain points, we must also readily accept the stumbling blocks that comes our way and try to learn from it.

I think in big lines you can run your life the way you like. Ofcourse there are always unexpected things happen to us. But that is what makes life less boring. You can still celebrate your birthday, give a party or do what you like.

Yes, it is true there will always be stumbling blocks and challenges in our life no matter who we are, and what walk of life we might come from. The most important thing, is what we choose to do with our life from there. And I understand Health as I deal with setbacks and frustrations all the time. The on;y thing we can do is Pray and believe God for seeing us thru.

Hi there nita, yes we can only do so much as to plan. we shall always have plan for ourselves, what we will do next, where we are going, what we do the next day or the next week... but of course, we shall always have to depend still on what our "fate' or destiny, or some other environmental factors that we can never really say when it will be with us.

Eventhough we set a plan on how we want to live our lives, sometimes things just happen that we are unable to continue with the next step that we are supposed to make. But that should not stop us from achieving our goal. Well, maybe it will take a little longer to achieve it, but if we persevere, then we can always get there.
