Stem cells in Mexico day 2

I am beyond beyond exhausted today. Had to get up very early. Had to help my heart and lab work where they took more blood than any lab work I’ve ever had. Urine test. Chest x-rays. And an MRI of my spine. So today was quite a long day for me. Tomorrow is going to be an even earlier and longer day. I start chemo on Friday and I am very looking forward to that because chemotherapy alone has helped many people just to get rid of their immune system. After I am done with chemo then we’ll take stem cells from me and then replace them in me. After that I’m supposed to just stay in the apartment and do nothing so that my immune system can grow and I cannot leave or be around anyone that could possibly have a bug or influenza. So things are going pretty well I am just exhausted and fatigued as most people with multiple sclerosis would be if they had a long day I had today. I will continue to keep you all posted. Thank you for caring and I look forward to seeing you back in America when I leave Mexico. Peace and love Laurelin 

Stem cells in Mexico

I’m in  Mexico preparing to get stem cells. I start chemo therapy on Friday. I’ve only been here three days and I’m so exhausted. I really hope that these stem cells help me in some way. Even if they only help me a little I’ll be happy. I don’t expect really to ever walk again but I do want my bowels and bladder problems to go away. As well as the heat and cold bothering me., I am so fatigued all the time but my hopes are high. There are so many people here that aren’t nearly as bad off as me but there are a couple that are worse. It is slightly depressing to see people here that are walking  and you are bitching about problems. I guess I just expected to see more people that are as bad off as me. But I should feel lucky and be blessed that I am here in the first place. This is my last resort and my last chance so let’s all hope and pray that it works. I start chemo therapy on Friday. I must say I am not excited to lose my very long hair. But  the hair on the rest of my body I’m pretty excited about losing. The really good thing is my Spanish is getting better. I miss my daughter and I Miss America but I don’t miss Donald Trump. I’ll keep you posted and blog  every couple days to tell you how  I’m doing. Peace and love Laurelin 

Confession


I have a confession.

I have not learned my lesson.

I cry when I see pain and bombs you see,

But I still have faith in humanity.

Why do we still hurt our sisters and brothers?

No matter the race;  they’re your family your dad’s and your mother’s..

How do we brainwashed these young man no one knows

They line up in the name of God in Suicide in rows..

Unlike others, I feel bad for these boys.

They are taught to use grenade launchers like they are toys

We witness their destruction, and curse their name.

When we are angry at the wrong person to blame.

They hide behind Promises of virgins and God.

Brainwashing children and they don’t know it’s a fraud..

It’s a shame we are angry at the wrong man.

He’s hiding somewhere in some desert land.

We must be proactive in another way.

We will never find this old man. I can certainly say,

Find these young men with low self-esteem ,minds that are easy to sway,

Teach them we love them and that this is not the way.

Find them before these old men do.

How to teach them love; and the bombing will become less and few.

We have gone about this Isis thing all wrong.

It’s time for us to sing a different song.

They can change one by on

We can’t save them all, but we can save some.
It may take days, weeks ,months, or hours.

But word spread like wildfire.

If we can reach one, then we will reach  others.

Love will prevail ,all cities recoveries 

We need to end all this death and sorrow

Help our young man, for they are the hope for tomorrow.

Don’t be afraid of their accents, clothes, or skin color.

Help them to learn their not the enemy but our brothers.

Miles to go before I sleep

” these Woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep. and miles to go before I sleep .and miles to go before I sleep.”- Robert Frost. I used to think about that all the time. Wondering when, and how I would leave this earth. I always figured I’d be lucky for anything after 50. I had days to go before I slept. I had moment to moment before I slept in less than two weeks and now I leave for Mexico. I have a whole new journey in life to look forward to. I never thought with my multiple sclerosis there could ever be any help or care. For all the terrible medications I took, that didn’t do anything at all finally I see hope. I am all kinds of emotions right now. It’s very scary and very exciting. I will lose all of my hair and I absolutely don’t care! Finally there are miles to go before I sleep. And miles to go before I sleep….
