Not…

Being able to breathe is a mind altering situation.  All your thoughts are concentrated on getting one little bit of air.  But nothing lets go to permit one little glow of air into your nose or mouth.  How long this situation can last before one passes out was starting to become evident last night.  Choking and vomiting occurred.  Arms began to feel numb and the mind became dizzy.  Searching for the inhaler became a life/death crisis.  Finding one in the purse raised hope until dispensing, there was nothing coming out.  The other inhaler being somewhere upstairs was something the lungs were not allowing one to look for and soon the legs became heavy and felt nailed to the floor.  HUBBY ran and couldn’t locate the other lifesaver.  Shaking the last hope, the empty inhaller,  and putting it to the mouth 2 small sprays sputtered and opened the airways enough the get a small trickle of air and brought a sliver of relief.  Vomiting continued along with some lose of control.  A quick call to Walgreens for another inhaler and 15 mins later life returned to normal.  The situation took a toll, bringing on a throbing headache  and exhaustion.  Everything was throbbing.  Laying in bed with the sleep apnea machine on, with easy breathing returning, the chest and shoulders felt like a car or truck impact could have occurred.

Waking this morning and reliving the episode over in the mind, one realises that God’s given life and breathe can be snuffed out in a moment, if, God’s Will Be Done.  Praise the Lord another morning rose for this one lamb in His flock.
