LIVING WITH RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS & NOT BREATHING WELL 5-5-2025

-



Dear Friends, Family and Church Family,

I pray all of you are well, safe, healthy, happy and loved! 

Me, I have been experiencing brutal breathing episodes, especially these past few weeks. 

Breathing is automatic!

When a person experience difficulties breathing, it's life threatening and scary!

With breathing being automatic to most humans, when I, or anyone who endures episodes when I, or them are struggling to breathe, it's life threatening and beyond frightening!

During the early hours of this morning (Tuesday- Wednesday), I awoke not being able to breathe or catch my breath.

I struggled trying to breathe in what seemed like days.

I know it was not days but, minutes, long, long moments, much longer than I, or anyone could have realized.

I remember as I feebly was attempting to call 911, the night staff entered my apt. 

This knowledgeable, kind person gave me the medications I needed while doing what he could to¹ place me at ease and calmer.

The breathing (or lack of it) episodes have been the most terrifying and alarming acute medical incidents I have endured!

These alarming and acute respiratory episodes have left me stunned and petrified!

My health conditions including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Asthma, Pulmonary Hypertension, Congestive Heart Failure (and the list goes on) + these latest weather conditions, namely the rain and the humidity with the union of an immensely huge amounts of pollen, breathing have only added to my distress and pain!

Because my respiratory situations have lately been more problematic and extremely difficult, my manner of thinking has radically changed and my faith in God has helped me to emerge into purpose and strength!

For me, my life has become more difficult, indefinite and my body has also changed!

I have more episodes where my breathing is challenging and strenuous!

I sleep a lot more than I ever did!

I feel as if my energy, my stamina, my mobility, my tolerance has all been zapped out of me!

I am unable to do what I want to do!

I cannot accomplish what I have to accomplish because I am so crazy tired!

I am sad!

I am frustrated!

I don't understand!

I am sick!

I cannot breathe adequately much of the time!

I don't know the why's of 89% of what I do know! 

I have more questions and little to no answers!

I don't understand why's, how's, why not's and an immense amount of more!

I am trying with all my might, strength and everything in me to hold onto this fragile, ever-changing, difficult, zany, loving, awful, stressed and wonderful place called: "LIFE"!

I am holding onto what I need the most, my faith!

I pray with diligence, with love and with diligence and I rest unsure on this humid Wednesday afternoon.

I am sleepily resting on my bed, in my bedroom and in my apt.

I utter words to God actually realizing my silent spoken words are making no sense at all!

Yes, my silent spoken words do make sense.

To me and to Jesus my silent spoken words make total sense!

Please pray for me, for others who are sick, for people who are facing battles that insurmountable and for everyone who needs a prayer now!

May God bless and protect all of you!

Love, prayers and gracio

us gratitude,

Evelyn (Pinto)

The Medical Profession: Problems 5-6-2024

Serious Problems That Circulate Among The Medical Profession There have been countless advances in the medical field. These fascinating evolutions have saved my life and the lives of countless others! These medical miracles have improved the lives of multitudes and have also created paths of wellness in the lives an infinite number of others! Though this is fascinating news and it all benefits humankind, there are serious problems in the presentation of medical treatment. How medical professionals communicate with their patient(s)  can steal the worth and good out of these medical miracles. Through these medical marvels are wondrous, it feels to me that needed changes need to brought forth in how well these medical professionals  communicate with their patient(s). People with serious and chronic health conditions, especially those who require more medical care and treatments, like myself,  know well that  the Healthcare System needs improvements that would benefit th...

The Passing of One of My Dearest Friend, Reverend Ernest Batten With sadness, sorrow and immeasurable grief, one of my dearest friends, Reverend Ernest Batten, passed away on April 17, 2024. Reverend Ernest Batten left these Earthly Dwellings and has risen into the Heavenly Realms. Reverend Ernest Batten is now sheltered in the loving Arms of Jesus and has been reunited with his dear and faithful wife, Elsie Batten. With my heart too heavy to measure, I am now suffering immeasurable grief. Now, my good friends, I will tell you of my faithful and compassionate friend, Reverend Ernest Batten. Ernie Batten was love, light, beauty and a comfort in a world of craziness, absurdity, unpredictably and idiocy!

Senior Living Residence, how beautiful, loving, wonderful and astonishing this world actually is! Ernie, I and all of us, residents live in this bright, clean and warm/co...
