No, but I haven't had asthma for two days. My best guess...It's a stomach virus. My boss wants me to take another day off tomorrow. 

I'm doing the BRAT diet minus white rice. Luckily bananas are my favorite food.

That sounds yummy. 

Going for the Xray Saturday. Maybe it's pneumonia?

Anybody seeing anything about my lungs? They are my Achilles heel. Please send me healing at Circle of Light.

When the time is right, may this poem help.

Poem by Chelan Harkin

 

It’s when the earth shakes
And foundations crumble
That our light is called
To rise up.
It’s when everything falls away
And shakes us to the core
And awakens all
Of our hidden ghosts
That we dig deeper to find
Once inaccessible strength.
It’s in times when division is fierce
That we must reach for each other
And hold each other much
Much tighter.
Do not fall away now.
This is the time to rise.
Your light is being summoned.
Your integrity is being tested
That it may stand more tall.
When everything collapses
We must find within us
That which is indomitable.
Rise, and find the strength in your heart.
Rise, and find the strength in each other
Burn through your devastation,
Make it your fuel.
Bring forth your light.
Now is not the time
To be afraid of the dark.

Additionally this  Poem by Venice Williams

 

You are awakening to the
same country you fell asleep to.
The very same country.
Pull yourself together.
And,
when you see me,
do not ask me
"What do we do now?
How do we get through the next four years?"
Some of my Ancestors dealt with
at least 400 years of this
under worse conditions.
Continue to do the good work.
Continue to build bridges not walls.
Continue to lead with compassion.
Continue the demanding work
of liberation for all.
Continue to dismantle broken systems,
large and small.
Continue to set the best example
for the children.
Continue to be a vessel of nourishing joy.
Continue right where you are.
Right where you live into your days.
Do so in the name of
The Creator who expects
nothing less from each of us.
And if you are not "continuing"
ALL of the above,
in community, partnership, collaboration?
What is it you have been doing?
What is it you are waiting for?

@NelystheAlchemist. How did your surgery go, I've been thinking of you.

@pat-czap thank you so much for asking! It’s been very comforting knowing that you and everyone in this community are supporting me. <3

Well, I tried my best to go into surgery without feeling overwhelmed by the election results the night before (a very difficult task!). I woke up from surgery feeling a lot of pain in my hip even though I was on a ton of anesthesia/pain meds. I got up and walking and everything seemed fine but I suddenly fainted and they had to give me oxygen/ephedrine to bring me out of it. Turns out, I lost about 600 ml of blood which I guess is a lot(?).

it was an outpatient clinic so as soon as I was feeling well enough, I was sent home. Unfortunately, the pain was pretty bad and the meds didn’t really seem to touch it. I had 2 additional fainting episodes and 1 fall. Thank God I ended up ok - my husband was terrified (rightfully so) and has been very worried about me falling/fainting again.

I’ve been feeling much better since Friday (Wednesday was the surgery) and the dizziness/low blood pressure stopped by yesterday morning so I think things are headed in the right direction. :)

I am worried that I may be moving the wrong way and damaging the new joint somehow, worried about dislocation but I’m probably being overcautious. Apparently I am a bad patient because I’m dying to ditch the walker and use a cane and I hate asking for help. It’s really only day 4.5 so I guess I need to rest more.

I just want to be better asap so I can go back to playing piano or violin and not have to worry about every single move I make. I also need a distraction from what is going on in our country right now. Anyway, thanks for checking on me! Praying things get better for me and for everyone. <3

@nelysthealchemist Oh my goodness you've been through a lot. I remembered my hip replacement surgery in 2019, and I cringed reading your post. Follow advice, don't push yourself too much yet. Hope PT is scheduled, that will help so much.  Take care.

@nelysthealchemist Sending much Love,Light and Reiki Healing Energy. Please, give your self the time you need to heal and follow home instructions and PT instructions carefully. Yes...we often get impatient and rush our healing for varied reasons... but I promise you... adherence to post op care and instructions sets the stage for optimal healing... which is what you desire. Personal experience (mine with entire shoulder rebuild) and with my patients (veterinary) has taught me... there are reasons for the recommendations and instructions.... and however you do.. you WILL heal... but what you do? determines the level of healing and response. As an example ...when we send home a Elizabeth collar (aka Cone of shame) with our patients to prevent chewing/scratching of surgery sites and pulling out sutures and reopening of surgery site. Only to have owners call in a panic because they "only took it off for a minute, turned my back for a second" and the damage was done. I am also picking up that this is an opportunity for you to heal the trauma response/belief that you won't get the help you need if you ask so you just don't ask. You stopped asking a long time ago. I recognize it ... because it is a response I work with as well. If we embrace these "enforced recovery down times" as a Gift and a blessing rather than a hindrance... we often surprise ourselves with what we learn, heal and our growth going forward. may all be to your Highest Good!

My mom is in the hospital since yesterday. She fell again but wasn't injured. They gave her a cat scan and found that she was suffering from severe constipation and also has a sinus infection. They are keeping her until Tuesday at least. She isn't able to tell them if she is not feeling well anymore due to dementia. It's a silver lining she fell and now is in the best and safest place getting the care she needs. She is super social so I'm sure she is okay in an unfamiliar place. I am worried about her of course. 

I have recovered lung wise but am having a lot of GERD issues and I'm fighting off a cold, or irritation due to the GERD. My fault, stress eating chocolate. Bad move. Stressful week all in all. Have taken a sabbatical from political videos and social media except for fun stuff like cat videos and liking my friends hopeful posts.

My little cat is doing great now. Had two teeth pulled and is gaining weight and after months of her fur matting, which I cut off with scissors, she is grooming herself again a little bit. I figure if she can heal, I can heal but privately, to myself, I wonder what it would feel like to not be constantly ill. I worry that I just won't heal. This has been a disastrous year health wise for me. So I am taking this time to do stepped up self-care and give myself pep talks, but I don't always believe what I say to myself.

I am in a funk/fatigue state and am requesting gentle healing energy. 

I'm trying to shake it off but it isn't working yet.

@anya I was at my lowest point yesterday,  I hope. Though I was awakened at 2:15am and now cannot get back to sleep. 

First of all, allow yourself a good cry if you haven't already. I mean really! Start writing all your thoughts and fears on paper, the tears will come. Just sit with it til you're cried out.  Comfort yourself and lean on friends. 

Then baby steps.  Do little things between the sadness and pain that bring you joy. Feel them both, you're allowed. 

My Christmas tree is up already because I love the lights.   

Get outside!! Nature has a way of putting things in perspective.  

My friends and I are texting each other everyday- how you feeling today?-and it helps.  

Good luck! We're here too!

@anya 🙏🏻💜🕊️🙌🕊️💜🙏🏻  In times of trouble I look for "signs" given to me to encourage me to "hold" and be strong. I saw these 3 cloud angels yesterday when out in my yard. Tho we don't always see them... our angels , our Light beings, are everywhere around us. Sending you a warm hug.

Attachment removed
