SHOCK HOW TO KNOW YOU’RE IN SHOCK

by

OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS SHOCK.  WE ARE NOT ALWAYS AWARE WHEN WE ARE IN SHOCK.   LET’S START WITH THE WEBSTER MEANING OF SHOCK AND DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION. 

WEBSTER MEANING, SHOCK-1.  A SUDDEN, VIOLENT MENTAL OR EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE.  2.  A DISTURBANCE IN THE EQUILIBRIUM OR PERMANENCE IN SOMETHING. 

DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF SHOCK-A DEEP EMOTION AND PHYSICAL RESPONSE WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS TO US WITH IMPACT UNEXPECTEDlY. 

SHOCK CAN BE VERY TRAUMATIC.  THERE ARE TIMES WE ARE IN SHOCK AND OFTEN DON’T REALIZE IT.  EXTREME SHOCK CAUSES SPECIFIC PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS THAT WE OFTEN ARE NOT AWARE WE ARE FEELING. SWEATING, ANXIETY OR AGITATION, SEIZURES, CONFUSION OR UNRESPONSIVENESS, CHEST PAIN, BLUISH LIPS, AND FINGERNAILS, AND FINALLY LOW OR NO URINE OUTPUT.  WHAT MANY OF US DON’T REALIZE IS JUST HOW DANGEROUS CERTAIN KINDS OF SHOCK ARE. 

MEDICAL SHOCK CAN PRODUCE ALL OR SOME OF THESE SYMPTOMS AND DOES REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION ASAP.  THERE ARE ALSO DIFFERENT TYPES OF SHOCK, SOME NEEDING MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. ONE TYPE OF SHOCK IS HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK CAUSED BY TOO LITTLE BLOOD VOLUME.  ANOTHER FORM OF SHOCK IS CARDIOGENIC SHOCK.  THIS OCCURS WHEN ONE IS HAVING HEART PROBLEMS.  MANY OF US HAVE HEARD OF ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK CAUSED BY AN ALLERGIC REACTION.  NEUROGENIC SHOCK OCCURS WHEN OUR NERVOUS SYSTEM IS COMPROMISED IN SOME WAY.  THERE IS ALSO SEPTIC SHOCK BROUGHT ON BY INFECTION. 

THERE ARE OTHER TYPES OF SHOCK AS WELL,  BUT I HAVE COVERED MOST OF THEM.  THERE IS ALSO EMOTIONAL SHOCK HAPPENS WHEN SOMETHING SHAKES US TO THE CORE WE DID NOT EXPECT AT THE VERY LEAST WE WILL MENTALLY “FREEZE”.  MOST OF US HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF SHOCK.  WE HEAR SOMETHING WE CAN’T BELIEVE COULD BE TRUE.  I HAVE DEFINITELY FELT THIS KIND OF SHOCK.  I DO NOTICE MILD FORMS OF SOME OF THE REACTIONS I JUST LISTED.  THE ISSUE WITH MANY KINDS OF SHOCK IS WE ARE NOT AWARE WE ARE IN SHOCK.  IT TAKES SOMEONE OBSERVING US TO SEE WE ARE IN SHOCK.  I WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT THIS TODAY BECAUSE I SAW THAT IT IS OFTEN SERIOUS AND WE SHOULD ALL BE AWARE OF ITS KINDS AND SYMPTOMS.  IF YOU FEEL “ANY” OF THESE SYMPTOMS, CALL 011 OR ALLOW SOMEONE TO DRIVE YOU TO THE NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM.  IT COULD JUST SAVE YOUR LIFE.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING.  SAMANTHA/DAILWISDOM WORDS .COM

CURVES “LIFE THROWS MANY CURVES! HOW TO COPE WITH THE UNEXPECTED”

by

OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS CURVES.  THE KIND OF CURVES I AM WRITING ABOUT ARE THE “CURVES” WE EXPERIENCE IN LIFE.  BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, LET US TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEBSTER PORTION OF THE DEFINITION OF CURVES THAT APPLY TO THIS AND DAILY WISDOM WORD MEANING OF CURVES. 

WEBSTER’S DEFINITION OF CURVES. 1.-TON HAVE OR TAKE A TURN, CHANGER, OR DEVIATION FROM A STRAIGHT LINE OR PLANE SURFACE WITHOUT SHARP BREAKS OR ANGULARITY.  2.   TO THROW A CURVEBALL   

DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF CURVES-1.  UNEXPECTED TURNS IN OUR LIFE THAT TAKE US BY SURPRISE AND WE DON’T CONTROL. CURVES, UNEXPECTED, REMIND US WE ARE NOT FULLY IN CONTROL OF OUR LIFE. 

MANY OF US FEEL WITH PROPER PLANNING, “CURVES” CAN BE AVOIDED.  THIS IS NOT THE CASE.  WE DO HAVE CHOICES AND ONE WOULD BE TO ALLOW “FEAR” TO RULE US AND NEVER GET ON A ROAD, TO BEGIN WITH.  THAT, HOWEVER, IS NOT HOW THE MAJORITY OF US LIVE, INCLUDING CAUTIOUS INDIVIDUALS.  I HAVE A QUOTE I CREATED IN MY MIND, BUT TODAY IT CERTAINLY APPLIES.  “HAPPEN WITH LIFE DON’T ANTICIPATE ALL THAT HAPPENS.” 

IF WE LIVE WITH THIS PRECIPICE, WE FEARED SCAREDLY.  24 HOURS AGO, MY DAUGHTER WAS INDUCED TO HAVE HER OVERDUE BAB Y.  THE CURVE WAS THIS.  WE HAD NO CLUE MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW HAD A COMMON BUT DANGEROUS CONDITION CALLED, preeclampsia.  DUE TO BLURRED VISION AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, THEY WENT TO THE HOSPITAL.  SHE WAS A LITTLE OVER A MONTH BEHIND MY DAUGHTER. 

THE DOCTOR FELT IT BEST TO DELIVER THEIR BABY, SO TODAY I HAVE TWO NEW GRANDBABIES, BOTH BOYS!  THIS WAS A CURVE.  THIS WAS AN UNEXPECTED CURVE FOR AN ANTICIPATED DELIVERY A  MONTH LATER.  “LIFE HAPPENS”. WE DO NOT CONTROL ALL OF THIS.  I HAVE FOUND FOR ME PERSONALLY, FAITH IN GOD HELPS WITH THESE UNEXPECTED EVENTS.  I HAVE FOUND WHEN IT INVOLVES OUR CHOICES AND WE ARE MAKING THEM JUST FOR OURSELF, WE FEEL WE ARE IN CONTROL.  THE MORE LIVES INVOLVED WITH THOSE YOU LOVE, THE MORE CURVES LIFE THROWS YOU.   

I ALSO FOUND THROUGH LEARNING, I DON’T CONTROL MANY THINGS.  I MAY MAKE A CHOICE BUT THAT CHOICE SOMETIMES HAS “UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES”.  IT IS THOSE PEOPLE WHO ANTICIPATE AND ACCEPT THAT CHANGE IS A PART OF LIFE, THAT ARE THE STRONGEST BECAUSE THEY LET GO OF THE FALSE IDEA THEY ARE FULLY IN CONTROL OF THEIR LIFE.  BY LETTING GO OF CONTROL, WE GAIN CONFIDENCE WHEN UNEXPECTED EVENTS THROW US A CURVEBALL.  ARE YOU PREPARING FOR EACH EVENT IN YOUR LIFE, PLANNING DOWN TO THE LAST DETAIL?  SOMETIMES, THIS WORKS, BUT OFTEN A CURVE THAT ISN’T ANTICIPATED REMINDS US OF REALITY. 

LET GO, LET GOD.  THANK YOU FOR READING.  SAMANTHA/DAILYWISDOMWORDS.COM

VICISSITUDE

by

What does it mean to be in a mood affected by vicissitude?  We often feel vicissitude when something negative happens in our lives we were not predicting, especially when everything has been going well.  My mother has always said, “expect the worst but prepare for the best.”  She must have experienced this feeling many times in her life.  Vicissitude is a word not often used everyday in our vocabulary.   It sounded interesting, so I looked up its meaning.  Due to the holiday’s being here, often we spend too much money.  Some of us don’t realize how much we have spent, until our credit card statements start to arrive.  This can bring on a feeling of vicissitude. Before going any further, let’s take a look at the meaning of vicissitude in our Webster Dictionary.  

 

Webster Definition of Vicissitude-A regular change of circumstances from one thing to another, often one that is unwelcome or unpleasant.  2.  alternation between opposite or contrasting things.  

Daily Wisdom Word Definition of vicissitude-An unexpected, contrasting change often for the worst in our life. 

Vicissitude happens also with the opposite.  You can have everything in your life negative, and then win a lottery.  This is how contrasting the feeling of vicissitude can be.  One of the reasons I chose this word is the holidays are often times for surprises.  Not just negative events occurring out of the blue count for vicissitude.  Vicissitude can be a positive thing happening as well.  

I think one of the strangest things in my life that happened, was when I was completely and financially broke.  Of course, this happened to be the time my daughter announced her engagement. She wanted a big wedding and a very nice dress.  

I remember stressing about this so much.  I was a single parent, and it just so happens her father was also financially bankrupt around this time as well.  I was shocked to say the least when I went out to my mailbox a few days later and found a sizeable check that was completely unexpected addressed to me.  It was a refund of homeowners insurance.  I realized that if I just took it a step at a time with her wedding, and also let her know she would have to help financially herself, we would have her big wedding.  

People often wonder why at the end of the day, I still have faith.  I would be lying if I said this wasn’t challenging.  There are times it is harder to have faith and this time, with this unexpected news, was definitely one of them.  I have always found in my life, when things were rough all around, it is my faith that has gotten me through it.  

This was only the beginning of my daughter’s wedding needs and I decided I could do much of it, such as make the bouquets for all seven girls in her bridal party.  I ordered a fresh floral arrangement only for the bride and made the others.  I ordered my daughters bouquet from the supermarket that looked every bit as nice as any expensive floral shop.  I also made the centerpieces for all of her tables and bought tablecloths and runners wholesale from a used store. 

I had them dry cleaned and they looked brand new.  There was still about $10,000 missing in the budget.  The groom’s parents contributed $5,000 and over the next year, I was able to do more financially as well.  My daughter and her future husband paid for the remaining balance, and all was good!  

I shared vicissitude with you, because things, both good and bad happen in our lives that are in sharp contrast to what is happening at this moment.  If this moment is bleak for you, as I keep saying, ” there is always a new horizon around the corner.”
