Hey "wins"are a great way to get through the day, I even class not hitting a kangaroo on my way to work as a win(that is a regular event for me, my panel beaters love me, my insurance company aren't sure why they took me on!) or not wetting myself when I sneeze (at 6 1/2 mths pregnant I really enjoy those wins!).... lol
Al, I find my worst "attacks" or stealing of something great that has happened usually comes in the form of negetive people, external comments, "my" thoughts or a panic moment, the first two I wish didn't exist, but I have learnt in a very short time to actually feel sympathy for them that they do not have a more positive more optimistic outlook - there is ALWAYS something great that can be found in any situation, it just takes a little bit to see it sometimes and the third and fourth, I rebuke them very quickly and the evil that puts them there and I find our higher power instantly replaces that/those thoughts if you let Him.
How are we going? Well not tooooo badly, we are soooo happy at the moment with our new doctor, who is really up on the latest bits and pieces in the medical world and if he's not - he finds out...... and then explains it in a way we can understand - he moos and clucks at us.... no seriously.... he explains it very well, something we hadn't encountered before. We have found a storage factility that will store my placenta after this baby is born for future use, my cousin who is a scientist (why I didn't get those genes is so unfair) is working very closely with stem cell researchers and is finding great contacts for us. My wonderful husband is in a really positive frame of mind and smiles a heap more, which is great... 'cause I reckon he's a bit more of a spunk when he grins :wink: We head off to a neurosurgeon in 2 weeks to rule out or confirm cervical myelopathy (I feel really smart when I type big words, I feel even smarter when I can explain what it is!lol), this decision was made by our doc when he read our MRI report and researched a little more about the disorder and realised it can affect both hands and legs without losing any sensation.
I feel, that there may be people, right now, thinking, She's Just Grasping? No I don't believe so, if you don't get it checked, you could be wasting for no reason..... I know that my husbands diagnosed could definately be MND/ALS but I also know that it may not be, and that this journey and process is for some reason, it's like being chosen for the possibles or probables teams, either one could be the outcome.
I guess I've put my trust in God and we aren't going to block or reject anything that is put to us, as it just could be our answer, it may not be, but it could be... if you ask and then don't listen, what's the point of asking....
On that note, I'd like to encourage everyone to not immediatley reject something that is placed in front of you (i'm not saying go sacrifice a chicken or anything like that, PETA tend to get a little upset) it just could be YOUR answer or something on this journey you're suppose to do.....
Have a think about it and while your at it - What's your "win" today? Mine... I didn't get cranky with my husband who left toast crumbs all over the bench, it actually didn't worry me....... HAVE A GREAT DAY!:-D Kylie
