I was really upset last week when Hurrican Matthew caused my doctor appointment to be rescheduled. This appointment had already been rescheduled since May. So, I got to go to the sleep specialist and now have an appointment in aobut 3 weeks to do the sleep study. This needs to be done to see if I really desaturate during my sleep or do I stop breathing for any period of time.
I got the usual… You need to lose weight. Why don’t you have aportable machine? Oh, and you need to stop exercising, but you need to lose weight.
Okay, I know I have gained weight due the steriods. I am working on it. Exercising does help me to lose weight, but I can’t breathe. My doctor wanted to me to wait on the portable machine because of the sleep study. Now, they are saying that the sleep study has nothing to do with me desaturating as I move about.
My favorite is when I was told that watching my calories and eating less is the only way to lose weight, exercise doesn’t help at all. I don’t know where that Dr. got that information from. Exercise has always helped me.
So….Once the sleep study is done, I am to get back with the dr to meet with my other drs to come up with a continued treatment plan. In the mean time, I will see if I can get a script for a portable machine.
I will be done with my internship in December, then I plan to do yoga two nights a week. So, far, this doctor is the only one against it.
So, I am back to doom and gloom. I have in the last 14 months gone from your gonna die to your going to be just fine, back to death is waiting behind the door for you.
Now I know why God kept rescheduling this visit. It wasn’t a happy one and in His eyes, it really doesn’t matter.
My Goals for the next 8 months…
1. Finish school
2. Have a party during winter break for my birthday
3. Go to my college graduation in Chicago in June
After that…What ever happens, God has me in His hands. I will continue to work, go to church and serve in Joseph Dreamhouse food bank until I am unable to anymore.
