About Me
I am a psychiatrist retiring because of a neurological condition that has not yet been diagnosed. When I look at the pictures of an MRI it seems that I have cancer in my spine, thyroid, kidneys and bladder. I will know more in a few days when my Neurologist looks at the images and comes to a decision about my diagnosis. My main problem is that I fall all of the time. Also my brain is affected because it is not functioning normally which is very frustrating a lot of the time. So I am adjusting to this new set of rules I have to follow to be safe and to function. It is really a challenge. Since I have have gotten hurt so many times I have stopped thinking that I am so much better that I can operate like I used to. I have come to accept that I am not going to "get over" this any time soon. I will trust in God to get me through and right now I am feeling His peace and grace.
