LYME DISEASE
I realized that I invited a bunch of you friends to see my blog, and I realized it may be a bit confusing. I'll briefly explain. 3 weeks ago, I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease. We figure I got bit by a deer tick on my mission in Boston 7 years ago! It entered my blood stream and has been the cause of a lot of pain over the years. But I am so grateful to finally have a diagnosis! I knew there was something wrong all of this time, but it seemed like the doctors just had no idea what was going on. But I was led to a great specialist in Salt Lake City who was able to find the illness in my bloodwork. So now it is a matter of taking a lot of antibiotics that make me nice and sick, and we hope to be rid of the main symptoms in 3 to 6 months! The next months may be Hell, but it will be so worth it in the end! What a miracle. I am very hopeful. I hope everyone else is healthy and happy. Please let me know how you are doing. I miss everyone!!

ReplyDeleteMamashly,
ReplyDeleteThat's a good name for you. I'm SO excited you have a blog and that I can keep track of your life. You've always been a personal hero of mine and now even more so. I sent your blog address to April Smith Harris, because she loves you lots, too and wanted to know what was going on with you. Thanks for your comments about the reality of life. It helps me to more than you'll know to read them. If I weren't Mormon, I might want to worship you.
