Thank you for the encouragement, @nickcross !! It’s been a hard few weeks. Many things have started malfunctioning in my body, but I had flattered myself that my kidneys and liver were 👍. Now I have kidney stones and a weird bile duct. I’m being tested in the context of these and MANY more seemingly disparate symptoms. Next week 9.19-21: Sleep study, MSLT (daytime sleepiness), MBS (Modified Barium Swallow study). I have dysphagia (trouble swallowing). I put myself on a mechanical soft —> almost puree diet months ago. note: cake goes down the hatch just fine bc the frosting pushes it down my esophagus. My kidney stones are large enough to merit intervention, but getting in to see a specialist is really hard. I have a doc booked for Oct 24. But praise God, my pain has been ok, although I’m still struggling with increased spasticity, muscle rigidity, and gait decline. And my 🫁s have been bothering me. But I’m ok! Emergency plans exist in case anything gets out of hand. Please pray for courage as I face more testing and thank the Lord for daily bread 💗. #avmsurvivor #strokesurvivor #lifeismysport #learninghowtolive #shreddedgrace
