Comments on: I can finally breathe http://mormonconversations.com/i-can-finally-breathe/ Discussions on faith, religion, Mormonism, and other important topics Tue, 17 Aug 2010 16:08:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: ryan http://mormonconversations.com/i-can-finally-breathe/comment-page-1/#comment-1617 ryan Sat, 20 Sep 2008 03:41:54 +0000 http://ongofu.wordpress.com/?p=721#comment-1617 I thought of another take on the symbolism of "breathing." When you described your feelings, Rusty, of getting more air than ever before, it reminded me of a time when I truly repented and felt forgiven of my sins. I felt joy and rapture and excitement and gratitude and love and acceptance and peace. The air was cleaner that day. I held my head high, knowing that God loved me. I felt I could accomplish anything because I was on the Lord's side. I wish to feel this again soon. I better quit typing and go pray.

I had a deviated septum from birth and finally had your described procedure 35 years later. It was Christmas time and my godson's family came over my place and put up the tree with 20 years worth of glass ornaments. As you know, after the procedure, you must lay down most of the time or the bleeding starts all over. As the family left and I was laying on my couch admiring the tree, the father slammed the door shut which sent vibrations which were just enough to topple the tree directly on top of me. Water, branches & broken glass ornaments every where! Rusty, I can totally relate! I had a deviated septum from birth and finally had your described procedure 35 years later.
