There.<\/p>\n<p>Kate&#8217;s collapsed lung resolved with concentrated oxygen therapy. Thankfully. The picc line went in yesterday and she&#8217;s getting her first infusion of nutrition through it as I write this. She&#8217;s very happy that, as she said, &#8220;Something&#8217;s happening.&#8221; She&#8217;s dealt with the weight loss, the fatigue, Sjogren&#8217;s, food aversion for so long. As one just coming out of a still debilitating illness, I can only imagine what it would be to feel the way I feel now everyday. With no change maker on the horizon. This picc line may be the beginning of a turn around. I sure hope so.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile I&#8217;m weak, still. Feel like the diseases of the past two weeks plus have left the field of battle, but the wreckage is still under repair. I&#8217;m 10 pounds behind now, limited stamina, and less energy. I&#8217;ll improve over the next few days, I&#8217;m sure. I look forward to getting back to things.<\/p>\n<p>Lot of learnings, most not consolidated yet. They will be over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s something uplifting, at least I think so.
