SBowling, and Chrissy;
It seems we may have some things in common, besides the disease. Now that the name is out, yes, Dr Schwartzman diagnosed me, (after a Chiropractor recognized the disease from another patient) and soon he left Jefferson, for another hospital, and I was on the Ketamine there for 10 days.
(Hahnemann).
I couldn't tell if it made me feel better, or it was the "vacation effect".
(My evil (sorry) wife couldn't get to me, and I had my Powerbook, and layed in bed watching DVD's.) I met another lifelong friend while there. I'm trying to bring her on board here.
I can still consult with Dr Schwartzman, but I stayed on with Dr Knobler, and then to his K.I.N.D. Clinic (Knobler Institute of Neurologic Disease) pls, excuse my spelling. I do think the Ketamine helped.
Dr Knobler is in Fort Washington, PA. A wonderful man/doctor.
GOD.
I cannot go back to a life where God is not at the center! I cannot stress this enough, and I don't want to be preachy.
A friend just stopped by to give me a ride, and he was "spun out" in his head by some crap at work. I told him, make a call, express yourself, and give it up to the man! (He's not there yet).
You do your best, when you can, give it your all. Then, you must hand it over to God, and have FAITH!
And, if your faith is true, you will NOT be let down.
His plan is not YOUR plan. It's "His will be done".
And, if you're strong enough to accept that, that's all the strength you need.
Soon, you'll find yourself helping others.
THAT feels good!
For as gimpy as I am, that I can still do some good.
Amen.
I'm in NE Philly right now. Let's keep in touch, shall we?
ASB
