A Doctor Brings Hope

You may recall my difficulty finding a specialist for a second opinion.  Well, surely the Lord brought me to the right doctor.  I met with Dr. P earlier this week.

She's easy to talk to, and we had a lot of ground to cover:  medical history, symptoms, what has and hasn't worked.  I came prepared with notes on my symptoms as well as lists and charts and everything else I thought she might need.

She was very open about what she thinks, and I gained a lot of knowledge about my condition.  We talked about medication options, but she hasn't made a recommendation yet.  Instead, she is going to work with my family doctor to chart a course that--I pray--will be smoother than the last year or so has been.

I don't feel any better except that the blanket of discouragement has been folded back.  That, in itself, is a relief.

Thanks for your prayers!
