What would you do-dee-do !! In the beginning my parents were in a Christian College. They met, had a lot of friends, and went on some neat ventures. They were married and after a time experienced a big accident situation. I was first born and then along came my younger brother. And out of it certain related health situations became apparent. My parents refused help both piritually and medically. I was young and in school and experienced a head injury. It occurred when a swing in the school yard collapsed. In the process I experienced a whiplash and my forehead hit the ground hard. In the days and weeks ahead I experienced a lot of confusion and frustration. School became difficult in many ways. Relationships were shallow and tasks were a tremendous undertaking.. I did work with my father on some weekends but I did not do well. My parents had heard of shock treatments but our Doctor recommended against it. But my parents said yes and I went through several treatments. As I grew older I met a girl and she really wanted to love me.I was still in a state of conflict and frustration but we got married and had two children.I continued to have medical problems having 3 major situations similar to strokes and experienced a lot of PTSD. I was hurting too much. My spiritual walk with God was what got me through so much of this. It was difficult because I was a burden to others with little comprehension of what was going on with me and therefore little direction in my life. I have recently been given a label as an individual experiencing an Organic Brain Disorder. I am involved with Hillside Center, the Az Heart Association and my Physician and Cath Lab. They have me on medication, a water tablet for the Brain and Beta Blockers as well as some medication for my heart.
I realize that as a committed Christian and a member of the Body of Christ was the best decision I ever made. I live one day at a time. Gods love and direction in my life is all I need.
