Well girls...today was a good day. I met with my new internist for 2 hours today and I LOVE HIM! Not, Dr. McDreamy love him, but love that he took 2 hours to ask me about every aspect of my life. (He is 1/2 black with the last name of Santiago, so you go from there. He remembers me from Dr. Smith's dental office.) Long story short, he is a specialist in fibromyalgia and is puzzled with why I was on some of the past medicine, etc. Anyway, we are doing a whole blood panel, hormone panel, xrays, etc. in the next couple of days and will meet again next Thursday to go over the whole picture. Today I received more hope for my condition than I have ever since my diagnosis. He doesn't think I will have any problems losing weight, and is taking extra pictures of my knees and lower back to make sure of which exercises will be most beneficial. We discussed my arthritis issues, sex issues (in which we concurred on what was biblical!), family issues, and he didn't even mention Jerry Springer! :) WooWoo!
So, all of that to say, I am excited about the new study and my new found health. I told him about the new study we were starting and how I hope to lose weight with it. We talked about some spiritual things that lead to the reasoning of answered prayer and why I can now sleep. Before he walked out he shook my hand and told me to keep praying, and asked me to pray for him too, as he treats me. And it was sincere, not some type of new-age thing. I have to admit, that was very cool!
Jan & Nelson will be here tomorrow around noon. So, if you guys want to get a call in before then, that would be great. If it has to be after noon, then late tomorrow night would be best for me. Okay, I need to stop chatting and start cleaning. I love you guys!
