Good evening everyone. I hope everyone enjoyed their Saturday. While my cleaning lady was here today, I ran out and got my spa pedicure, and then this past week I received an email from the library that I needed to renew my card, so I took care of that as well. I also paid some bills online. 

I have spent the rest of the day watching TV and reading my book. My doctors office called me today, because my doctor wants to go over my test results from the lung function test that I had a few days back and refer me out to pulmonology. I could not really understand the test results that were loaded into my portal but I do know that they have diagnosed me with Interstitial lung disease. Which looks as if it's a combination of different lung issues. I have a phone appointment scheduled with my PCP next Friday.

I googled and several of the symptoms listed I definitely have. Shortness of breath, when walking with my co-workers. Dry Cough, which I have had for years. Weight loss, I have to force myself to eat, and I am still loosing weight. Chest discomfort. My chest burns.  I will do whatever is necessary to manage this. 

Tomorrow, Sunday. I will attend service, and then come home and watch football. In the evening I need to attend my life study group meeting. It's our first meeting for the Fall session.  I have missed the people in my group, so it will be good to catch up, and fellowship and then go into our 6 week study, before our Christmas break. 

On Tuesday I have my Endoscopy. Oh fun... Hopefully, all is well there, and I just have to manage this other issue. 

Well, enjoy your weekend.

Hello to all who post and read ❤️ 

@icezeus 🙏🫂💐 for you .  Be strong. You are not alone.

@cowboy sam  I forgot to mention when I had my scan it was not MRI or CT.

It was just like an ultrasound with the device running across my neck.

I also have a parathyroid issue but that has been fine now.

Relaxing today. I am not bothering watching the weather. 

If I ache, rain is a'coming.

If I do not ache sun is a'coming.

🤣

Be well.

Started the day with a quick run to town to knock out a few simple tasks.  

The last few weeks have been very challenging for me.  I continue to accept the things I cannot change and always trust that if God leads me to it, He will walk me thru it.  But some days each bit of news that comes my way is mental weight for me to carry.

Hi all:

Been on the computer and watching qvc on and off today. Loving so many new Lori Goldstein, Lawrence Zarian and Jennie Garth items but not buying.   There are so many beautiful new items I want but I'm trying to not buy.

Dreary Monday .... I had absolutely nothing I had to do today.  Last week was hectic  and I had a very busy weekend.  

I plan on just vegging out this week... curled up with my yarn and nenedles.  I don't have anything on my agenda until Saturday!  (Reading and yarn are included in vegging.)

I also plan on (trying to) catch up  on my reading.  I have several books going at once.  (Easy enough to keep up .... different genre.)

Two sweaters and one blanket in process and another yarn order arrived today.

Now more than ever, we see that everyone around us is dealing with something these days.  2 cousins and a best friend who were very supportive to me during my mothers decline have been diagnosed with cancer; one cousin is not doing well at all.  My best friends cancer diagnosis hit me like a ton of bricks.  A cousin my Mom thought of as a sister suffered a major fall recently which has affected her mental status and I sense she is retreating into her own little world.  

It gets to be a bit heavy when updates are not what you're hoping and praying for.
