My Supports- Who loves ya babe?

When I think of the word support, I automatically connect it to the word help. I feel as though the two go hand in hand. I am blessed to have a great set of siblings as well as a nurturing father. We have each other's backs. When I need emotional support, I turn to my sisters and my fiance. When I need to feel that I am doing the right thing, but I still need encouragement, I turn to my family and my best friends. Life is all about support. I don't know what I would do if I was alone! I would not be able to function without some type of help!!! On a serious note, I am a big advocate for support in the work force. If I have an idea that I think is brilliant, but my team of co-workers thinks its whack, I am not going to go forth with it without their support and expertise. I have a family at work-we fuss and fight but in the end we always have each other's back. That's how we operate in my workplace. It is a good feeling to be supported because it shows that people really care about you enough to embrace whatever it is that you need. If I didn't have my support system, I would probably be in a mental facility. Oh- support is extended with my doctors as well. Not all doctors... care. Sad, but true. I finally found a doctor that tends to my needs and breaks things down for me in a way that I can understand. I recently had a medical issue that was concerning me. I didn't have to wait to get the results via email on the patient website. My doctor called me and we talked about it as if I were sitting in her office. Who knows a doc that consults without an appointment in 2013??? (Maybe you do, but that was a first for me)
I am currently facing the challenge of should I or should I not try to have a baby. I have reviewed all of Dr. Oz's shows on childbirth and age. I have consulted with my doctor. I have consulted with my fiance'(who really wants a child) I want a child, too. I'm just so afraid of the risk factors involved. My family is on my side 100%. Not one person that I have spoken to about this has said "No... you shouldn't get pregnant." It all boils down to my level of faith in God. I will have to have a procedure done in order to carry a baby into full term. I am terrified of having surgery because of what happened to my Mom. She went in for surgery, and was never the same afterwards. *tears* But... I know that I have a ton of people in my corner rooting for me all the way. If I didn't have them, I would not be going back and forth on the issue. I truly love my support system. We work things out together!

  1. Jackie,

    I see that you have consulted the right one honey, God and you know he will not steer you wrong. That is wonderful to hear that you have a strong and loving support system. We all need somebody and that I why God made families and friends. I hope that all goes well with whatever decision you choose, but as I can read either way you will have your support.

    God bless Jackie.

  2. That is awesome how you and your siblings support one another. As an only child, I've always wished for siblings for that reason. Continue to trust in God with ALL that you do, and everything will fall into place!!

  3. Oh my gosh... Finding a doctor who cares is SO hard! I went through a fee years of chronic health problems that resulted in surgery, and there were some doctors in the bunch that just made me wanna curl up and cry! I am so happy that you found such an amazing doc, and I hope he guides you through the journey ahead of you with empathy and care!!
