Health Problems overshadow (almost) everything, Pray 4 ME please
Well first of all I can not stand how long it took me to get back on here and post a blog. Yikes! It didn't SEEM like that long ago. Well any who, here I am again. I have been wanting to get on here and blog, but I made excuses why I didn't need to. But for some reason God keeps leading me back to Homeschool Blogger, so here I am ! There is no way possible to "catch up" on the months I have missed here, WAY too much went on, SO lets just get to the here and now stuff. At this moment I am awake at 3 AM writing this. I know I need sleep ,but my mind is doing its whirling and twirling business and I had to get up and do something with the mental energy. My health has not been too great and seems to be getting worse. Let me start by saying that I have NO health insurance at all. That puts me in a tough place as far as seeking "better" care. I go to our county Health Clinic and take whatever they can offer. Thankfully I have had a very nice,caring Dr. my last few visits and feel like someone is finally listening to me. You have to go with whoever is at the clinic when you get there usually and its not always a nice Dr. I need to back track a little here and say that I had a awful and scary episode back in Jan. that sent me to the hospital in an ambulance. I seemed to have suffered a mini stroke. The goofy Dr i had at first keep saying it was only a bad migraine. Folks I have had migraines for many years (since my early teens) and this was NOT a headache. In fact ,my head did not even hurt! I was very un-responsive and when I came around finally half of my body was numb. My face was droopy on that side and I could hardly talk. Well I pulled through that but my health has never returned to "normal". High blood pressure has been a problem and a racing heart beat has added to the mix. Now I am totally worn out almost always. I get out of breath after brushing my hair. I am swelling up with fluid. All symptoms of heart issues. I go for tests next week and they want me to see a cardio Dr. Pray that I am able to through the clinic, I know I am not getting any better, just more and more tired. Oh I almost forgot, they finally tested my cholestrol and I had a total of 308 ! So I am on Vytorin for that now and hope it works for me. So thats my stuff. I am worried and trying to stay upbeat but its hard. On top of my health issues we are having terrible financial problems. At this moment I am down to a minus amount in my bank and my hubby will not get his paycheck until the 24th , Tuesday. I really have no idea what we will do until then. I am praying for miracles.
As for homescooling, I am actually pretty upbeat for the most part about the upcoming year. I am just worried about how my health will effect it all.Well I am actually starting to get sleepy so I will go give it a try. With hope~Carole

Jul. 31, 2007 - Prayers
Having a few problems myself has made me so much more understanding of others.
I pray that you will get the help you need. We didn't have health insurance for 5 years. Tomorrow our insurance kicks in! :) Blessings!
