First, I just received news that things are not going well for my friend Jim --he is currently at Canine Partners going through Team Training with his successor dog Max (if you guys remember, he lost his service dog Drummer last year--they had been together for 8 years). He is having issues with anxiety and is being really hard on Max --he is expecting him to be where Drummer was when he died --he forgets that this is a new dog and that they have to go through the process of getting to know each other and learning to work together. If he does not let go and stop treating Max like he is Drummer, he probably will not be able to graduate from the program with Max. Please pray for Jim --that he would not let his anxiety control him and that he would learn to ease up a bit on Max --he has to learn to read Jim and is not going to be Drummer right away.
Second, I have yet another appointment with the pain management doctor on Thursday. I have been through injections and several types of medications. The injections caused me to have migraines that have still not gone away after two months. I am getting frustrated --last time I saw him, I asked him for an explanation of the migraines, but instead he put me on Cymbalta --which just made me sleep a whole lot. He then gave me permission to stop taking it.
I am still having a lot of pain from the fall I had in January (I slipped in water in WalMart). I am having so much difficulty getting things done around the house --it hurts so much to bend over and I am not able to stand for very long.
I am starting to think that we are getting to the end of what he is able to do for me. I do not want to go through injections again --they caused a lot of problems and did not help. I may request a referral to a neurologist if he cannot do anything else or offer an explanation for the migraines.
I also need an accurate diagnosis --I was dx'd with cerebral palsy, but when I saw the neurologist for the disability examination, he said that I did not completely fit CP and that I could have Muscular Dystrophy --he said I would need more testing to find out.
Now that I have Medicaid, I finally have the opportunity to get that diagnosis --I just have to jump through some hoops first. Please pray for an accurate diagnosis and for someone to figure out what's going on with the migraines and my increased muscle spasms.
My house looks like a wreck --I can work a little and then I have to stop for the day. It's so frustrating.
I am also still having stomach problems and am at a standstill when it comes to figuring out what's going on --I've had so many tests and no answers...
Please lift these things up in prayer

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
