“It is God’s will that we do all in our power to keep ourselves strong, for happiness is everlasting and pain is passing and will end. Therefore it is not God’s will that we pine and mourn over feelings of pain but that we get better and continue to enjoy life.”
Julian of Norwich
A week of doctor appointments, my first one was yesterday, Monday. I went to my appointment, the airway is open, but my tube in my ear that I had placed by Dr. Anderson a year ago has come out. It doesn’t hurt constantly, but every so often I get a bit of an ache for no reason, also my hearing is affected. My options are to either wait until I need surgery to have them place the tube back in or to have the doctor placed it in the office. In office includes them just numbing the ear drum while they do it. I honestly would rather be asleep, but I don’t know when I will need another surgery. I called to make an appointment to see the Otolaryngologist at the University of Washington. I am waiting for the nurse to call me so I can make that appointment. I will see Dr. Berinstein on April 15th and hopefully by then I will have a better insight of what I will do. Decisions seem to be made a lot on this journey of mine.
Today is the day I will get the results from the heart PDA monitor I had to wear for two weeks. The echo-cardiogram showed that my heart was normal. I am happy about that, so I know that things will be great today.
Afterwards two of my friends will be picking me up here in Vancouver where I will spend two days in my hometown of Longview. I have a meeting with Living Ministries to attend and then I get to have a day with two of my sisters. I am looking forward to this. Yes, I will be tired, but I will get to engage in some healthy relationships with people I love and who love and support me. Plus, I get to take on a new assignment, helping Living Ministries with keeping their website updated. I am down with that.
I am taking to heart Julian’s thoughts about pain, I am not going mourn and pine over my illness or any other things that have caused me heartache. I am going to enjoy my life.
How are you enjoying life?
Please wait...
