AUTHOR: Monica Lee TITLE: This weeks news... DATE: 12:33 PM ----- BODY:
Earlier this week after a really rough weekend....I had an emergency appt. with my new neurologist. Seems odd to say a "new neurologist" I have had so many but alas! He pulled me off ALL the medications that I was on. I had been taking Topomax for migraines for several weeks and the side effects were making me want to pluck out each hair on my head. The anxiety was killing me! I couldn't tell if I was weak and sick or just drugged! I have been off it for 48 hours and feel like myself again, thank you God! Deep Breath, so if I have rabbit trailed or lost focus in my blog, forgive me and I would still love your prayers. I have really come to believe they make a difference in a huge way. I picked up a book by F.F. Bosworth called Christ the Healer and have taken a hard look at where I am and where I need to be. My neurologist is fabulous, very down to earth and frankly so is my acupuncturist. The prayers of my friends and family have helped the most. AND here is some fabulous news Alison, whom I mentioned quite a while ago on my blog who has been fighting cancer (To the Moon blog) well, her chemo is working!!!!Everyone has been praying for her and it is working, I am so happy. I realize I have not been talking about art much although I am still managing to get work out, other things in life can really stop you in your tracks, make you notice new things, make you actually do new things. This is going to be that kind of year for me, I can already tell. I have started Yoga -something I have talked about forever and this is a biggie for me if you knew my background I am actually going to start attending a church nearby-you know where you actually have to meet people and make friends with them. I know that doesn't sound like my personality but I grew up going from Catholic churches to Pentecostal churches, some of the craziest people I have ever meet I have met in church. BUT some of the kindest also, when you need a body of people to reach out pray for you and you need them to understand they way you believe etc. guess where you find them. I know, I know "in church!". We of course have been talking about this for years also, I think I have found one it is the way to the Emergency Room of which I can now find my way to blind folded. I thought about calling the Pastor to see if I liked him first (is that bad?) but then I thought we might not go this Sunday, Luke has hockey a 8am-see!!! Then it all begins! Anyway, I am still determined. Lastly, this is not the mind bending drug talking but I am getting my hair cut off-have got to simplify my routine. So I will try to find a picture of long locks pinned up to my head (which is all I ever do) to post. Then if the cut works out I will post the new do! ha!
