Vacation

I'm leaving this week for a week-long trip to California. The last 4 days will be spent listening to lots of lectures at the annual meeting for Athletic Trainers. However, the first 4 days will be spent with my great friend Kelley just hanging out and having fun. I haven't seen her in a few years so it will be a great time to catch up and just relax.

I am still waiting on news about the job that have interviewed for. Hopefully I will get the official word this week. I am still trying to sell my house so keep that in your prayers.

Health-wise, I have been all over the place. Last week I felt pretty sick all week. Just sore in my joints, headache, fever, and still having problems sleeping. I'm mainly concerned about next week and whether or not I'll be able keep up the whole week and stay focused.

I had some great friends that got married over the weekend so I just want to say congratulations and best wishes to the Wilsons!!

Keep praying!

Hearts

I just realized that I never updated the issue of my heart that I wrote about previously. When I returned to the doctor for my check-up he put me on a heart monitor for 24-hours. The results showed no abnormalities or complications so they once again labeled me 'normal'. I have still been having these palpitations and some chest pains. Most of the time I can continue with what I am doing but sometimes I have to take a break and rest for awhile. After talking with my friend that has Lyme disease, I now realize that this is a symptom and a common one at that. I received the paperwork for my up-coming doctor's appointment and after reviewing the symptoms listed, I realized that I have nearly 75% of them (95 out of 130) and it includes several things that other doctors have told me were not related to my illness. This makes me feel better knowing that I'm not crazy to notice all the things that have gone wrong over the past few years.

I am having another interview on Friday afternoon and I'm really praying for this to work out. I'm still waiting anxiously to sell my house but I have a good feeling about it.

Keep praying, I can feel it working!

News and Notes

I have been home for a week now and I'm finally settling in. I am living with my grandparents for the time being which has been an adjustment from living on my own for the past several years. I has been good to catch up with family and friends and get some much needed rest. I visited with an old friend yesterday about my health and I feel confident that I have Lyme Disease. I have been tested for this previously but evidently the tests were not as extensive as they should have been. I have an appointment with a specialist in the area in late July so I won't know much until then. I am still waiting to hear about a job and still trying to sell my house. I'm trying to stay positive and patient, knowing that God has a plan. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for me and my family over the past few months. I sincerely appreciate everything that has been done for me. Keep praying and keep thinking positive thoughts.
