Snow

 Yes    We had snow today, and are expecting accumulating snow in the next couple of days.

Saw Dr. Trachtke today (still having trouble breathing.)     THe fluids are accumulating in my right lung again.    I will get a stent put in tomorrow.    Unfortunately some cancer DID show up in the fluids they took out last week.     We are proceeding with what can be done.    I am not in pain so that is a blessing.    Please pray for me.

Thank you for everything - I care for you all.    Please take care of you and yours.

Past, Present. Future

Nightly my mind meanders.

Does it matter where?

We are cold.

Right now it is 21 degrees.    I know all my northern friends are laughing as I DO check your temps in the mornings and know you are much colder.      BUT I am an Okie now and expect much warmer times.   Since I lost all that weight, I get cold easier too.

It was a nice day though.      I am having trouble breathing still, but moved my appointment up to THIS Thursday instead of next week.     If I am worse tomorrow, I will call and see if Dr. Traqchke can squeeze me in.    I should be able to handle one more day after a Long night in my  adjustable bed.   Sure glad I replaced the old one with that - It is really making a difference.

 My friend, Lupe, dropped by with a Lenten daily prayer book for me.    Can't believe that Wednesday is Ash Wednesday already.      I will have to miss that for probably the first time since I was 6 years old and went with Mother or Dad.

God understands.    We will count my gasping as ashes this year.

Take care of all of you.

I love you SO much and miss you.

Can't tell where 

The clouds leave off

And the earth begins

Monday

 I am still having trouble breathing.    Will call the doctor tomorrow for advice.  I AM getting air in deeper but am still out of breath every time I stand up or walk anywhere.   Just going to get some advice.    I am so TIRED.

Bart came over and spent most of the morning and early afternoon.   He did my wash, bless his soul and changed the sheets on the bed for me.    He and Barb are SO good to me and I am no fun now:) :)   I hope you see my humor.

Friends are so good about checking on me.     My neighbor Mark, across the street is checking the mail for me every day.   He and Sondra say I am part of their family.     I am going to bake for them when I am better.

Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts.    Keep them up Please.

ON FLYING

Darkness surrounds us

We fly over the ocean

Held up by angels.

Hi

I am heading to bed after a blessedly wonderful day.    I had calls and visits and am totally wonderfully exhausted.    Will do better posting tomorrow.

I love you all

OOPS I meant it is the 5th already

 Silly me

Can't believe it is Feb. 4 Already

 I got my second coronavirus vaccine this morning and saw Dr. Aiku, my primary physician.   I DO feel better after getting rid of the amount of fluid removed from my right lung, but am still breathless if I do anything.    I do seem to be recovering better and understand that my body and the furosomide should get rid of the rest of the fluids.    I see Dr. Trachtke in two weeks.   Unless things get worse again, of course.   Which tells me that this is not an overnight healing.

THanks for all the prayers.    I pray for each of you every day.  Stay well and safe and love each other.

Good thing

I will be seeing the lung doctor tomorrow morning.    Please pray that he can fix me.   I think I just have to be drained.    Wow, to take a breath without gasping for air.   AND to walk across a room.

Nora and Eileen both called me today.     How good my family is.   They must KNOW that I need a voice often:)

So tired.    Now I actually believe that there is perhaps a resolution .    This is the doctor that did my lung surgery.\

Morning Doves crooning

In the early dank morning

Sadness in their song.

One thing checked

Dr. Ivan, the heart specialist, says that though there is fluid in my heart, my heart is strong and that the fluid in my lungs which the hospital did not seem to concerned with is the problem.     He has referred me to Dr. Tratchke, the lung specialist who did my cancer surgery.      He should be able to drain the lung.    Please pray that this is so and that he can see me soon.     I am so very very tired.

Stay Well
