High Numbers
The past two weeks I have been blessed with feeling great! My health has taken a turn for the best. My cough is basically back to normal, breathing deeper, more energy, eating more. I think I've gained a couple of pounds but my digital scale has given as high as 118 and as a low as 112. I've been very social these past 2 weeks which definitely means more oxygen to the brain.
I visit the CF Clinic again today and I am claiming higher numbers! Seriously, if I don't have better results I will scream at them. The appetite enhancers were the ticket. And my attitude. I've noticed recently that I can cause tension in my lungs when I'm stressed or upset. The hard thing about having a positive attitude when you're not feeling that great is trying to remember feeling great. For some reason it is easier to recall bad feelings, sickness and depression. I attribute that to your body being more aware when you aren't feeling well because it is working harder. Also, you don't want to feel sick so you just think about being well. I want to try to be more present in feeling well, really be grateful and aware of how good it is to be alive!
I would also like to acknowledge the readers of this blog and for all the people who pray for me. I have recently asked for prayer from my small group, which I haven't known these people very long so that was a big step. Sharing my struggles and sadness has been healing for me. It has freed up space in my body for good health! Knowing that others are aware of my situation and are sending words of encouragement or are being prayerful is like a cleanser. This blog is like those foot pads you sleep in to suck out all the toxins. I hope you continue reading and that I can share all of me because that is all we have in this world to give, is ourselves.
