Morning tears while I wait

[Guest guest]

I woke up this morning crying... thinking about a pulmonologist who I saw

recently who almost excitedly said that if I continued having trouble breathing

that they would cut a hole in my chest, giving me a tracheotomy.

There was no question about whether they would approve that surgery... or all of

the medical expenses that would surround that kind of horror. But approve the

DS? Oh, no, the doctors don't think that is a necessary surgery. No sense

getting rid of the problem

that was causing the breathing difficulty!
