INSIGHT #93 - THINGS THAT STILL MATTER MOST
Now I know what it feels like to have your death sentence reprieved.
As you know from my last insight I was very close to dying in June.
Then I started to improve. By mid-August I was feeling almost normal and my systems started to improve.
This week the doctor confirmed that I was in fact improving. My heart has improved to a 30 to 35% range from just over 10% (55% is optimal). My kidney function has improved to 2.1 from over 4 (under 1 is considered good).
When I asked the doctor if I could start buying Christmas presents he said “go for it”. He did caution me that I am still terminally ill and have heart and kidney failure that could worsen at any time, so enjoy life while you still can.
The things that I listed as mattering most are still my goals.
As you know I believe your prayers have been the reason why I am still here. Please keep praying for me. I am grateful.
