Friday night my throat completely closed off and I couldn't breathe. It happened for several moments, then eased up just a bit so I could noisily get some air in. I'd been coughing a lot yet after recovering from bronchitis a couple weeks ago and all that coughing had irritated and swollen my vocal cords to the point that when I coughed on Friday night, they clamped up and closed off. I'd never experienced that struggle to live before and my daughter rushed me to ER. Apparently it's an asthma related thing. Well after another day of struggles where even the process clearing the throat closed off my breathing I am on the road to recovery. I'm on lots of drugs.
What a traumatic experience at age 45. None of us know just how close we are to the edge of eternity. Are we ready? I know where I'm going but I still have too much to do here first. Maybe God wanted to remind about the importance of reaching people before it's too late. There ought to be a good t-shirt design in this experience somewhere. I'll have to think on it.
October 12th update... - after having my neck swell up enough to choke me, I finally got a diagnosis 2 days ago of full-blown mono. So nice to know there'a a reason and it won't last! PTL!
