When God foils my week of plans

Last week was supposed to have been very busy. I was trying to juggle multiple different ventures.

First, I discovered on Sunday, it was home parenteral nutrition awareness week. This includes IV nutrition I used called TPN. I felt compelled to film a video about how I set-up my TPN.

On Monday, I make a late night video in my bathroom of how I set up my TPN nutrition. I miraculously make it through the video, and things go rather well when shooting. I stay up late editing the video.

On Tuesday, I fly around trying to get things done. I hit some walls which yield little fruit, but overall, I get a number of things accomplished.

The following day, I am supposed to have several medical appointments. I am to see my pulmonologist in the morning, my primary doctor in the afternoon and also have lab work drawn. I am stressed how everything is going to come together, but I assure myself God will make everything work.

Late on Tuesday, I receive a phone call. It is my pulmonologist’s office. The appointment has been cancelled. I am devastated. I have been having issues with swelling in my trachea since March. This is the fourth time the visit has been cancelled. I am nearly in tears. My trachea hurts so much. But I guess I will have to continue to wait—and pray my trachea does not swell completely shut.

Suddenly my busy Wednesday is no longer so busy. The stress of that day has been taken away.

Additionally, I am contacted by my respiratory therapist. She was planning on visiting me on Thursday. But now, she has decided to cancel and re-schedule for the following week. My busy week suddenly becomes mellow.

I thank God for the decrease of stress in my life, but I also pray for my trachea. With the holidays fast approaching, my trachea may not be examined until after the first of the year.
