Yesterday I drove into Mexico City to see a specialist again.<\/strong>  For those of you who don’t know the history, I was having some health issues back in… oh, February or March, I believe… and so this sparked off a whole bunch of tests and specialists and all sorts of things.<\/p>\n

No, I don’t like to give a lot of health specifics online.  But the end of the story is this.  I have a theory that one (or more) of the medications I was taking for migraine caused my system to go out of whack.  I haven’t been taking any preventative medication since before then, and things are more or less back to normal.<\/p>\n

Though pretty much every test showed me to be in excellent health (however I may feel!), there is one number that is slightly off.  No problem, it just means we’ll watch it over the next few months to make sure it settles down again.<\/p>\n

So, in the end…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’m thankful to be done all these time-consuming\/money consuming tests and appointments (for now)!!<\/li>\n
  2. I’m in good health (at least, as far as the tests are concerned).<\/li>\n
  3. I feel a lot better than I did earlier in the year.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So thanks for your prayers!  Obviously, due to migraine I still don’t feel great, but I’m greatly improved in other ways, and the good news is I don’t seem to be in any danger from any other condition.<\/p>\n

    Between Shari, Nathanael, and I, December\/January\/February was unbelievable<\/i><\/b>.  We’re thankful to have survived all the health issues, and to be past them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
