Rant anytime, dra -- this is one place where we really CAN understand what you're going through b/c we've been there and done that!Debbi

Hi,

They say that with all your suffering you become closer to God.we really must be close. There is no worse suffering than A. I mean whats is worse than wanting something you can not eat. Or the feeling of not being able to breathe. Or fighting just to get one bite of food down. I hate waking up choking and vomiting. I hate cleaning it up. I am at a lose of what to do I am afraid to sleep. I know my surgrey is in March but that seems sooooooo far away. I have found nothing helps. I sleep sitting up in a chair when I do sleep and I still wake up choking. Which usally leads to vomiting. I really hate to see what my lungs look like. There is problally tons of food down there. I know I cough it up all the time. Thanks for letting me rant and rave.

Reminds me of something else once said,

" Eloi, Eloi, Lama

Sabachthani. "

I find some rants can seem a lot like prayers. So I just want to

say, amen. I am sure all the achalasic brethren were very moved.

We all face many challenges in different ways. I look at friends who

have migraines or diabetes and think, I'm glad I was spared of those

afflictions. I must strive to accept what has happened to me and what

the doctors can do.

It is one of my " thorns in the flesh " if you will. I think God

literally gave many this struggle so that we can learn to rely on

him.

2Co 12:7-10 To keep me from becoming conceited because of the

exceptional nature of these revelations, a thorn was given to me and

placed in my body. It was Satan's messenger to keep on tormenting me

so that I would not become conceited. I pleaded with the Lord three

times to take it away from me, but he has told me, " My grace is all

you need, for my power is perfected in weakness. " Therefore, I will

most happily boast about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may

rest on me. That is why I take such pleasure in weaknesses, insults,

hardships, persecutions, and difficulties for Christ's sake, for when

I am weak, then I am strong.

Interesting how God works huh?
