“The Rapture Ride” --- what I’ve longed for my entire life!!!   Last weekend I was struck with appendicitis, I kept putting off going to the doc… “it’ll go away on its own” mentality…. Besides I had things to do!  Didn’t have time for this, etc. etc.

Within 24 hours I had to FIND TIME to deal with it –as I arrived to the hospital, it had not only ruptured but “exploded” plus it was hidden BEHIND my colon….. so the surgeon whose done these for well over 25 years said mine was 300% more difficult!   When it exploded, there was gangrene in there.  I was told by several members of the hospital staff it was a good thing I arrived when I did – because it was almost “too late” & my body would’ve gone septic….. end of the road.   I was hospitalized for the rest of the week.  Home now, very worn out, very sore…. Just plum exhausted.  Prayers for speedy recovery GREATLY appreciated!!

Look, while I’m not a doctor, I know in my own case I “should have” given up all flour & wheat products – I did for some 12 years then started feeling deprived again…. so I’d deceive myself that “cheating just a little” was no big deal.  ßcan almost imagine hearing a serpent whispering in my ear on that one!]   Tho’ I’ve never been diagnosed w/celiac, I’ve long suspected it.  Because even tiny bits of wheat would give me a miserable “blockage” for days!!  I’d learn my lesson, get it out of my system, then turn around & repeat the same process again.   I paid DEARLY for this!!!  While I’ll not know for sure, my best hypothesis is the wheat which was damaging my “insides” led to this horrible nightmare of acute appendicitis.  [AND btw, there’s nothing “cute” about it.] 

Only reason I’m giving this info is cuz if you or someone you know feels weird or is moody & cantankerous or constipated after eating anything with flour in it --  you might want to rethink it!!  You may want to give it up entirely.  If you could see all the needle holes poked in me right now, all the bruises FROM the needles & IV’s….see the stitches in my stomach or feel any of the pain….. possibly you might want to rethink eating wheat!!  ESPECIALLY if you know you have an issue with it.  [I once suggested this to a friend w/fibromyalgia – but instead of even “considering” it – nope, QUICKLY DISMISSED IT as “this just runs in my family”  I’m thinking why on earth wouldn’t a person in chronic pain be willing to give it at least a 3 to 4 week trial?  Each to his own, but so many just “accept” things as that’s the way they are & are not willing to put forth effort.]

After what I’ve endured this week, I have clearer sharper 20/20  hindsight from my own personal experience, that I wish I would have GIVEN IT UP, every single bite of it!!  If the cake bites at Starbucks were just “too tempting” well just leave Starbucks alone then.


And me…. The “natural health nut”!!!!   Popping supplements all day long will not do a bit of good if we eat lousy.


Just saying!


THANK YOU for lifting me to Heaven’s Throne Room once again!!!!!

 
…. Till Jesus comes!!.....
