( so my first caption didn’t post and this is another not as passionate as the first one ) arghhh Have you been told by a Doctor “ There’s Nothing more we can do at this time “ ? And you still feel like you’re dying ?
A Read …. As you know by now, I had been getting my Films ready and After the day’s edit, I proceeded for the Academy Voting Member’s viewing of the Gladiator 11 …. but all through the viewing , I could not sit up … you see , I had been rushed to the ER twice that week already for back – chest pains that would come intensely and leave the Next day ! The doctors were checking for my now Hbp and intense Acid reflux ! On the second admission the Doctor gave all the Drips , blood work and sent me home to manage ? Luckily it left …
However … after the movie , I knew there will be No talks with Denzel or Ridley Scott today. I needed to go! I threw up all Night till there was Nothing to throw up anymore . By Morning the Most Dilapidating Stomach pain started and so I was rushed Again to Emergency… the Third time ! This time , I was wheeled in , straight for a CT scan , Ultrasound and the MRI . Then the Doctor came in and said you have to go in immediately for Surgery! … to Remove your Ball-gladder !!! It was so Dilated, the Doctors wandered how I was not in more pain. More pain???! So the Fight for my Life began and today I am returning to Give all the Glory to God . So on this day , whether you’re in the US or not , there’s so much to thank God for , take some time to join in and give Thanks. Not only the gift of Life , but the gift of good health . The gift of a complete body or a sane mind to even dream of a better day ! #HappyThanksgiving Friends. God is good . 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🍁🦃🍽🥂
