If those of you who don't know, I've been struggling with health issues for the past while. My psychiatrist has been playing with several (many) medications that may or may not have been causing more adverse effects than good. So I've been struggling with knowing what to do about it. I've felt confused and even sick about it. So Andrea encouraged me to ask for a Priesthood blessing this weekend while the guys were up.
So yesterday I asked for a blessing from Dad, Kevin, and Will. It was a really wonderful thing.
It promised a bright future and that made me very hopeful. Hope is something that has eluded me for quite a while. I meet with my Psychiatrist this Thursday and I'm going to ask him about seriously cutting back on a lot (if not all) of my meds. It's kind of a scary prospect and I know it will be pretty hard, but I want to see if something else will work better, and the only way to know is to try.
So there is a brief update. Things are looking up. Down times will come, but sunny days are ahead.
