Contemplating my navel
I saw Dr. Hendrix on Aug. 24th. He explained Pulmonary Hypertension to me more fully. It is when the arteries surrounding the lungs are constricted so that do not flow the way they are supposed to and pressure builds up and causes stress on the heart. There are two kinds of Pulmonary Hypertension (P.H.) Primary P.H. and Secondary P.H. ; secondary P.H. means that another condition is causing the pressure. They treat the condition and the P.H. goes away. They are unsure of what causes Primary P.H.They have one more test to do on me; sleep apnea. If I don't have that... It's Primary P.H.
I don't see the lung specialist for another month! September 26.
Until then I'm supposed to go on with my life figuring nothing is wrong and life is beautiful.
Instead I keep falling apart emotionally. I've had two beautiful blessings given to me and I need to put my faith in them instead of wallowing in self pity. Because it only makes me cry when I think on the diagnosis I can do nothing about.
If people would just stop asking "How are you doing?" I would do sooo much better.
Because of the paralyzed vocal chord, when I cry, I constrict my airway and I can't breath.
I know.... DON'T CRY. BREATH BREATH
