deep breath
Went to my six-month lung follow-up todayāa big deal, since my lungs have been the drama queens of my body for years. Scarring, pneumonia, autoimmune chaosā¦ you name it, theyāve auditioned for it.
Cue nervous coughs, thick spit...does the air in here feel thin to you
First two test tries? Meh. Like trying to blow out birthday candles with a straw.
Third try? Prayed, puffed, and blew the house down.
The screen said "NORMAL." I almost cried.
I still have a 50/50 shot of developing lung disease based on "data" but I'm not too worried about it because their stats don't take into account who my father is šš¼
Yāall, God is so good. Heās healing, restoring, and reminding me that progress doesn't always look flashyāsometimes itās just a little more breath than before.
Catch ya on the flip side, Edmond. This girlās got healthy-ish lungs and a whole lotta praise today!
Lung health is an essential aspect of overall wellness, and regular check-ups can make a significant difference. Individuals with a history of lung issues, such as scarring, pneumonia, or autoimmune conditions, should prioritize follow-ups to monitor their health. The emotional rollercoaster of awaiting test results can be daunting, but it's vital to focus on positive outcomes and celebrate progress, no matter how small. Developing a healthy lifestyle with proper breathing exercises, nutritious diets, and stress management techniques can enhance lung function over time. Remember, every breath we take is a gift, and appreciating it can greatly impact mental and emotional health. Always consult with healthcare professionals to understand your risks and the best strategies for maintaining lung health. LET everything THAT HAS BREATH praise THE LORD!
