The last couple weeks or 3 or 4 possibly 5 maybe 6. . . .I have been feeling 'not like myself ' much. I of course just assume it is me, going through something, but I have been looking into my medication's side effects. Unfortunately my transplant coordinator has not contacted me with any results from my last 2 blood work. So I am hoping she will contact me soon. When I tried to call her, I was only "allowed" to speak to the receptionist apparently. .. ..weird. I know they are busy, but keeping track of my blood work and med levels are important and it pretty much only affects one person. . .ME! I have noticed a decline in excitement level, happiness, cheerfulness and creativity. The only thing I can really suspect would cause those changes would be my medications or vitamins being low. I will confess, I don't take ALL my vitamins EVERY day (my bad), but I do take my meds RIGHT on time to the exact minute usually :) Anyhow, I think it has also been reflected in a few of my recent posts. But I am going to make sure I get some answers and make some changes so I can feel like "ME" again. :)

My Testimony
It's hard to put into words how I feel toward my Heavenly Father and the Savior. I have so many reasons to be thankful for what I have gone through & endured. Because of my trials in life I have gained a strong testimony of Faith. I have always had Faith in the Lord and in Prayer. As I faced the decision to get a double lung transplant I had to rely on faith to make the choice.....By listening to the spirit, I was guided to Pittsburgh where my life was saved. I believe prayers are answered. I have always tried to follow the philosophy of this: If I do what the Lord expects of me, he will give me what I want & need. That has always worked for me. I Believe in MIRACLES..........My life on this earth is a miracle- I prayed on my knees for years to be healed from my lung disease. I knew that through a priesthood blessing (if it was God's will) I could be healed. So many times I thought he would heal me instantly...my faith was tested as I continued to get sick and no cure was in my future. I turned to prayer....I talked to my Heavenly Father, I cried to him and he heard me and he healed me by guiding me to Pittsburgh and guiding the surgeons hands. I learned humility, and thankfulness. I realized that we need others to lean on and we are supposed to strengthen each others testimonies. I learned that the hardest things we'll do are usually the greatest blessings in our life. I was able to experience a lot of things during surgery and I know I had comforting angels in my ICU room. THe Lord knows each of us by name and he will never leave our side. We need to remember to stay close to him and have Faith that he is watching over us. I know this for a fact! I know that following the gospel will bring us true happiness- the world will tell us otherwise, but I know I am truely happy & living the gospel has brought me that. Amen
