A week ago, today I was life flighted to Lincoln NE from Grand Island NE. Why? I thought I needed a breathing treatment, possibly due to the Canadian Wildfire smoke, allergies, I’m overweight… All of this was going through my head as I had my daughter take me to the ER. For a few months now, I’ve been experiencing numbness in my hands, shortness of breath when I walk over 20 feet. Tingling all over my body and just pure fatigue. I explained it all away due to the absolute hellish summer of my life.
First, I had to put my beloved pet cat, Fuzzy to sleep on his 13th birthday, due to liver failure. Then my Mother-in-law passed away on July 2, 2023, and that same day my dad was taken to Lincoln Bryan Hospital for renal failure. He passed away two days after He and Mom’s 57th wedding anniversary on July 25th. I’ve been in pure survival mode and was poo pooing off what my body was screaming at me to acknowledge. I was in trouble.
I was near death and had it not been for the medical professionals in my life, I wouldn’t be here today doing the work I love. Lessons have been learned. My life is forever altered, but I am alive. Lord, thank you, for giving me another chance. You have work for me to do and I will oblige.
