What a week...

Good Evening and Happy end of the week.

My goodness this has been a week and a half.
Bone Marrow Biopsy on Tuesday.
Sleeping all day on Tuesday and part of Wed.
Feeling congested all week...coughing up big phlegm balls all week.
Yummie acupuncture, followed by an intense Pulmonary Function Test Thursday, followed by Light the Night Thursday evening.
Sleeping most of today, Friday.

I called the clinic Thursday am because I was feeling like my lungs were still a bit stressed from the congestion ( I guess a cold) and hoping they would allow me to postpone my PFT. But to my surprise my NP, Pricilla wanted me to go. grrrrrrrrrrr

It was so so so so hard and my lungs and throat hurt so badly afterwards. They can be very stressful tests. So I ended up feeling not so hot for Light the Night and was more winded and my chest hurt.

I did forget to mention I was doing Light the Night. Maybe the answer would have been different.
But still wasn’t sure why I was told I had to take the test.

Maybe because it took a while to get an appointment, but I’ve been under the weather anyway and was worried the numbers wouldn’t be accurate.

And sure enough, the numbers were not great...well I’m not sure what they mean. But they were not improved not to my surprise

Lung capacity went from 59% to 49%. For Pete’s Sake after each test I was coughing so hard my heart rate went to 106!!!

But some numbers stayed the same.

Again that vagueness I don’t like and the fact I have to wait till next Friday to find out what it all means and what our next step is going to be is frustrating to me.

But all that aside Light the Night was AMAZING!! Just Amazing. And Team Victoria ended up raising 11,350. Our goal was 5,000. I am so grateful for the generosity of everyone…and the hard work of Team Victoria!!

It was a very successful event and many more people then last year. More White Balloons too. It was wonderful to speak, even though I was a bit breathless.

Today I rested a lot and by this evening before I go to bed, my chest and throat do not burn anymore.

Patience, prayers and Faith filling my heart as I wait till my next appointment next Friday which thankfully is with Doc Martin. So I get can get to the nitty gritty about what is going on and when we will retest. No vagueness from him.

He did approve a Chinese Herbal formula that I started taking on Wed and is specifically for inflammation of the lungs. So we shall see how long that takes to work. I’m excited it will fit in well with my acupuncture.

I am always hopeful and positive mixed in with frustration. But thank goodness I am human and can own these feelings experience them and let them go, always making room for what it best for my Complete and Unlimited Health and Healing. I make room for Love and prayers and positive outlook that sometimes is hard to muster. So I invite that too. I make room to welcome it in from others and from my core and my heart

It was a rainy day, perfect for sleeping and sitting with those feelings.

Now I go to bed both cats sleeping at the foot of the bed, Noah next to me, the peace and quiet of Eagle St. with a smile in my heart and an easier breath, and very little coughing. See what all that Love from last night gave me.

Have a wonderful evening.

Big love and prayers and many blessings to all you!!

Namaste
Victoria
