Hi folks, Sorry I haven’t been around much. For the last two months I’ve been really struggling with shortness of breath, leg swelling and exhaustion. It started with a bad respiratory virus / flu two months ago but after it resolved the shortness of breath, swelling and fatigue persisted. I was seen in the ER earlier this week and a lung CT scan ruled out pneumonia or pulmonary embolism. I was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension a dozen years ago. It was an asymptomatic incidental finding on a heart cath. It has only become symptomatic the last two months, with shortness of breath, swelling, and exhaustion. It’s slow progressing, but pulmonary hypertension is always eventually fatal. It’s a miracle mine remained asymptomatic for over ten years, but once it becomes symptomatic it’s a just a matter of time. So a few prayers would be immensely appreciated. The ER visit was appropriate for Holy Week. Memento mori.
So sorry to hear this Brian. You will be in my prayers during this Holy season and beyond. Let's pray for a miracle shall we all?
Praying Brian. Sometimes I feel out of breath and retain water easily. Every night I use a diffuser with three drops of rosemary essential oil. It really helps. Rosemary is good for lungs. js.
Poor Brian. Praying today. But you have a huge, huge Faith and have been through so very much in life. If anyone anywhere is in a good position to meet this Cross it is you. I don't suppose you might be in a position to travel to Lourdes? Anyway many, many prayers.
You are in my rosary Brian. When I go to Garabandal in June I will place a petition on your behalf in the Church there and at the Pines for your healing.
Oh good, I did not know that. My knowledge of European geography is frightfully poor. Are you far from either?
