A year ago today I first saw a doctor for wheezing that had started the prior day. I was given a prescription for an inhaler, reminded to keep my asthma medications up-to-date and told to follow up with my regular doctor of things didn’t improve.  And things have not improved.
A year later ‘I don’t know”:
if it's carcinoid  
if it's carcinoid and something else  
if it's something else  
if the next doctor will have the answer  
when I I'll feel better 
if I will feel okay tomorrow  
why I have break through symptoms  
why my lab work looks okay when I feel so nasty  
 
A year later I do know:
God is who He says He is.  
God will do what He says He will do.  
Faith is easier said than done.  
I’m a battle weary warrior - struck down but not destroyed . 
Often, on the other side of my smile, there’s a dam of tears and if one leaks out....I’m done for, no Dutch boy’s finger in the dike gonna stop them.  
If I don’t read the Word and listen to uplifting songs, I am absolutely, totally consumed and overwhelmed.  So...
