I Guess I Have to Keep Jumping over Life's Hurdles
Hi Everyone, WA has been such a great opportunity on so many levels and I love it! Unfortunately, last Wednesday I got some bad news. You see, I knew I hadn't been feeling well for months but I didn't do anything about it. It was my family who finally insisted I had to go see my doctor. She ordered an MRI and I have lesions on my brain. Whatever they are from, it's not good news. I have to wait until the end of October to see a Neurologist. So I'll be walking on a rope till I find out exactly what's going on. Based on my symptoms, it looks a lot like MS, which is the best of all the things it could be. So I'm asking if you'd support me here and there. I can't give this up. I've thought about it and I have to find my drive back. I hope it comes back. Right now, I don't want to do anything but I'm going to try to work on my website. Never in a million years did I ever think I would share something so personal to thousands of people I've never met. Thanks for reading this.

Many blessings Jill! Hang in there and be positive! Nothing fights diseases like the will to beat it!! I hope WA will be your positive in the world!
I'm trying to stay positive and not thing about it. Whatever it is, it was given to me for a reason. Thanks for your kind words.
Jill, I can fell your stress and concerns. When my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor ... the doctor told us that he should be very careful not to get stressed out, or do anything that would raise his blood pressure ... and then we found out that we would have to wait 5 weeks to get an appointment with a neurologist ... with NO additional info. What a nightmare! The wait was endless. All I can say is ... just go on , day by day, as best you can. In the end, he had brain surgery to have the tumor removed ,,, they were able to get most of it except what was wrapped around his carotid artery ... so ongoing annual MRI's are now a part of our lives. The good news is ... it was not cancerous and now his is strong, and healthy, and back to his old self. Modern medicine is actually quite unbelievable. We can be grateful for that.
You will be in my prayers and in my thoughts. If you need to talk ... pleas PM me. PS ... my sister in law was diagnosed with MS a few years back ... she is getting along very well and learning to live her life a little more slowly but more fully! M
Thank you very much for the story of your husband and I'm glad he's ok. And about sharing about your sister because I think that's what I'm looking for. Anyway, I try not to think about it but it's hard.
Believe me ... the waiting and the not knowing is the hardest part ... whatever you can do take your mind off it. We took a lot of day trips .. easy car rides ... site seeing. Once there is something to know ... then you can just get busy ... creating a plan of action and taking those steps to be the best that you can be. Not unlike being here ... building a web business! LOL Anyway ... I'm here ... if you need me! M
Jill, I am so sorry you are having to deal with something so scary. Just be sure to get all the information you can and keep all of your options open and please keep us posted.

Thanks Harold. The worst thing is not knowing. End of October I'll find out what they think it is.

We all do, all the time, as long as we are alive. I pray peace and strength for you, as you make your way over this hurdle and for healing and restoration of your body, mind and spirit.
Thank you. I guess I just needed some support the day I posted this. I'm coming to terms there is something wrong but I'm moving along. I'll deal with things as they come. I just need to keep peace about this.
