Didn't realize it had been so long...

Hello Sweet Community

I didn’t realize it had been so long since I had said hello and given you all an update.

I am fully on the path of Complete and Unlimited Health and Healing.

Next week I start Photophoresis at Alta Bates in Berkeley CA. I will be going on Tuesday and Wed at 8:00am every other week. It will take about 4 hours from hook up to unhooking. So Ill be watching lots of movies, listening to my Guided imagery CDs, hanging out with Noah, maybe even napping.

Doc Martin says the biggest pain in all this is the time spent, that it is just time consuming. I’m grateful I have it.

I’m scheduled till the end of Sept but the plan is 3 months of this very mellow, slow acting, arc of time treatment. I feel very good about all of this especially after seeing Doc Martin on Friday.
As usual I always get a sense of comfort and a clearer picture after speaking with him. I was very frustrated by the vagueness of the answers I was getting from both Priscilla and Cheryl the other NP at the clinic the past 2 weeks.

Although we want my lungs to be clear and healthy, it is not as major as Cheryl posed it to me a week ago when she said.

"Ah well you have 50% of your lung capacity....lots of people live with one lung". And she said it like she was ordering her morning Latte at Starbucks. Geeeez!!!

I told Martin that and he was like no that is not the case. He wants me to try to walk and do yoga and exercise my lungs within my capabilities. So this is what I will do.

I know in my heart, in my core, that all is going to go well and one of the other yummie parts of the plan is to start weaning me off of the Prednisone.

I gotta say, I will take my Meds and will follow my treatments wholeheartedly, but I will be happy when I am off that one. I'll even throw it a farewell party when I take my last pill.

Here’s a kicker to let you know how strong this Med is, the bloat can take 3 to 6 months to go away!! Isn’t that just crazy?!?!?!

I hope that isn’t the case for the 85 beats per minute resting heart rate and high blood pressure I now get to experience (take good care of your hearts people!!!).

I just know that I have more Faith then ever AND that I am learning patience in the hugest way.

It is funny where my mind goes, I envision a leaner, non-puffy faced and bloated-bodied person, someone who looks closer to myself. And when I picture this, I’m thinking oh by my anniversary in Sept. or by my 1 year Remission Bday Oct. 24...

How strange and silly is that?

And then I’m like, no this is not my plan that I am on. It is a plan I am just a part of and moving thru and in the moment with. It's interesting to be in my body in this state. I have to move so much slower and take on so much less. And many of my friends are saying, finally. But it is challenging at times.

So Creator just reminds me to be patient, stay in this moment of healing. Pray for Complete Unlimited Health and Healing, and be strong and have Faith and be Courageous.

All the forces of Healing have rallied together in so many forms to answers prayers and Heal me up. And I know that it is on a time table I have nothing to do with, and in that is the truth of it all.

We just really don’t have that much control do we?

What I see is just being loving, be kind have a good heart and a good mind...have Faith...carry a good thought for myself and others. I just am not in control of anything else beyond that......

Such an important lessons I am learning and thank you for letting me share with them you all.

I am happy to be alive. I have so much Love and Faith in my heart. I am in Remission. I am Grateful. And most of all I feel very very blessed. All these things just take my breath away (no pun intended).

Have a Beautiful Saturday/ Sunday.
Breathe.
Love one another, because that’s all there really is.

Thank you always for what you give to me everyday, thru your prayers and good thoughts and Meditations, and just being who you all are.

Namaste
Victoria
