"Fwd: Prayer Request"


 
I was ill over Christmas and did not go to work today.  I am back to sitting up to sleep  at night when I am able to sleep.  I have pneumonia and pleurisy this time.  The pleurisy is quite painful and, of course pneumonia is pneumonua.  I cannot finish a task because I fall asleep and wake up with my head in my lap.  (It has taken me about 30 minutes just to compose one paragraph for prayer.)Joe took me in to the doctor today and he asked if I have been told my diagnosis.  I hadn't and told him so.  They have me diagnosed with fibrosis.  I looked it up and one type kills within a year.  It sounds like I have the older type - develops as a person ages,  I don't know what kind of treatment there is for this.  This is an ongoing request from the looks of things.
 
I have had 103+ temperature for the past two mornings.  My coughing is deep and panful.  I don't want to eat but that problem is probably more connect to the 'GERD.  They did more xrays today and blood tests.  I am concerned but not overly.  Ignorance is bliss.
 
Thanks - Dawn
