Hi folks. I am not one to handle bad news well. Never have been.
When I visited the ER in November, I had a chest x-ray, all was good. Less than two months later, and coinciding with the Sjogren worsening, I have bad news with both the top and bottom areas of my lungs which is why I am losing my breath. If this could develop to this degree so fast, where am I headed?
Taking a break. A photo of stitching progress many show up, but I really don't want to relay my fears or anger, and this will consume my thoughts for a while. Additional tests are coming, but damage has already started and affected me in this short time.
Thanks for your concern and friendship, I'll update when I can be an adult and face this as so many of you have done with your own crises.
Love you all.

Love you too. Will miss your posts, but I understand. I am beginning to see my own health slipping, so I completely understand how you feel. Thinking of you.
Dear Marly, You are a daily bit of sunshine and laughs along with real life. Not fair in so many ways. I'll be praying for you and missing your posts. You are such a kind hearted soul. Take care.

Take comfort in knowing so many of us are keeping you in our prayers.
My heart goes out to you. I wish you better health. I love how you bitch a lot,if you make an error, you say to hell with it! You are a good hearted person and so sweet to Bud and Pete and wonderful to your sister and nephew.
My heart aches for you. What a nasty thing to happen to someone who gives so much of herself to others. Wish I could offer more comfort than just "I will be thinking of you".
You have been in my prayers since you shared your diagnosis,and will continue to be. It's ok to come on here to complain, it's your blog, your outlet. Sending hugs!

That is part of why we are here, no? To be receptacles of others' fears and anger...especially when those two emotions are so very justified? Please do not ever feel you cannot do that here. If you aren't comfortable "spilling" it in front of an audience that may include the public at large, please use email/messaging. Yes, many have burdens of their own...but that's what makes a good listener. Keeping you in my heart and prayers. HUGS ~Robin~ And you DO have my email....I EXPECT to hear from you. (Not to be pushy or anything....)
I will keep you in my prayers for sure. Feel free to use this platform whenever it will help you to feel better. So very sorry you are facing these problems!
Marley, I will be thinking of you and praying for you to be better.
Marly, Stay strong talented lady. Take all the time you need. Praying for you. SAH
Hi Marly,
I am very sorry to hear this worrisome news.
I hope whatever it is, is treatable or curable.
You need to get better - not just for your sake,
but I look forward to your blog posts and they are my highlight !
Selfish, I know.
Wishing you strength and healthy lungs !
Good Wishes
Good wishes come from Germany. Stay strong!
You have to get better. You make me laugh. I know it's hard, but please don't be afraid, there are plenty of good treatments and medicines out there for various lung issues and you will be fine. I do believe that. Let us know when you know. Prayers always.
we are with you
take care and good whises from Burgundy
