Lets Give Them Something to Talk About

Lying in bed in the middle of the afternoon, I was breathing, worried about what was actually wrong with my chest.   Was I having a heart attack for the past few days?   Was it actually heartburn?   I lied there and gave my pain to Jesus.   I asked Him to let me know if I should go to the hospital or stay at home.   As I lie there, I felt my rib cage and found a muscle that was inflamed.   About a year ago I had similar pain, not quite so intense, that was diagnosed as Pleurisy, a build up of fluid between the lungs and the rib cage.   I didn’t think it could be that again since I was unable to eat, but I took an anti-inflammatory (which usually chews up my stomach).   I fell asleep for as long as a mom actually gets to fall asleep when her kids are in “quiet time” that usually ends up being not-so-quiet.   I was woken up less than 10 minutes later.   After about an hour, I was in so much less pain it was amazing.   I was ready ...
