Don't worry

Hope you have been doing well, not too much here. The cold weather I do not enjoy at all. I am a summer girl and I am already counting the days/months till it's at least spring. I did however get enjoyment from watching the children play and sled in the snow, they even wore the dogs out! When the Dr's say LAM they think is related to estrogen I think I can see the connection. This week started off with not very good breathing at all, had to use the inhaler quite a bit. Even laying down was awkward and I would have to take deep breaths just to feel like I was getting something. I can understand now why people get panic or anxiety attacks. It is a very awkward thing to suddenly realize you really aren't getting enough air- or in my case enough oxygen. I think sometime I will invest in a portable pulse-ox to measure oxygen saturation levels, so I can test my own theories on myself :) Sleep came easy this week and I did a decent amount of it. Must have needed it. The headache I had for three terrible days finally went away. I have been trying to figure out how to describe the chest pain to someone and there really aren't any words. It hasn't been too bad this week just a nagging heaviness. Then there is another feeling I notice also, I want to say it feels like when you are pregnant and you first feel flutters in your tummy. Somewhat like that and it's almost eerie, because then you begin to wonder if something isn't growing at that point in your lungs. Just weird. I don't like it- wish it would go away. Status quo- still waiting on specialist appt coming up soon, although not very impressed at this point, they haven't called me back when I left a msg before Thanksgiving, and the recording says to please not leave duplicate msgs relating to the same thing. So maybe I will just go to the one in Cincinnati, at least they would answer you back all the time, even by email. One of my daughters gave me a lesson on tithing, trusting in the Lord and not worrying. She opened her Bible after watching me do bills at the table and explaining where we were with the budget. It wasn't pretty and she watched me walk into my room and shut the door, which I don't often do. She knocked on the door a bit later and came in with her Bible open to a page she wanted me to read. It was on not worrying. She is right. Love that girl! Have a great day. Do not worry about tomorrow. God's got your tomorrow.
