Battle Hymns of a Hot Mess Mom

One day at a time…

Not a Hero

There was a moment today after getting my blood draw that I thought is be good.

Today was a double header. I needed blood and platelet transfusions. My body is still not stabilizing – my stats are still dropping at fast moving rates. I definitely don’t love that. J left after blood results and went home. I forgot my socks and neck pillow so I wasn’t super comfortable they wake me up 15 minutes after platelets start and Benadryl hits. It makes it difficult to focus.

I have an appointment with the new oncologist. Dr C is not longer see outpatients he will only see inpatients at the hospital now. This bummed me out. So I have a new oncologist Dr G. I don’t know how closely he works with Dr P – so I will need to ask him some questions tomorrow.

S is having night terrors, this is not great. She will sleep with me tonight.

About Me

Hello, my name is Nina. I am a mother, wife, daughter and friend. I am lover of country music, & 80’s love ballad. I love me some karaoke! I identify as hot mess mom. I get it wrong, all the time. On the rare occasions I get it right? Even I’m shocked.

I am a working professional in the field of Compliance. I am mother two, daughter to immigrant parents, wife to a “redneck” – and proud of it, sister-in-law to the two most incredible human beings I have ever met and a niece that is just so cool but doesn’t know it.

I work too hard and play too little. I’ve always focus on the wrong thing and never quite sure if I’m ever enough. I grew up on the East Coast and was a latchkey kid in the 80’s and 90’s – I dodged the sketchy people on the walk home and tried not to end up on a milk carton.

I went to a very privileged Boarding School on the East Coast and college after that. (So yeah that’s exactly why this journal will be riddled with grammatical and spelling errors. On the days I feel good, I’ll type it out. On the days I don’t feel good it’ll be voice to text. I can not be held liable for the things Siri puts in as my “voice”. ) Graduated on a Friday and started Fleet Bank on a Saturday. I hustled my way through the midnight shift at DHL and hustled and hustled and hustled. I knew nothing except the hustle. (As I said, I’m a hot mess mom).
