Thank you. I’m doing a pretty good job walking 3 miles a day, trying to eat the right amount of food, but noticed I’ve lost weight, probably due to the stress of my family and the upcoming holiday. I’m still having trouble with concentration, spelling and things like that. I’ve joined the episcopal church, which has a very diverse group of people who don’t really care what I believe etc. Not like some churches that are judgmental about who does what or why. The meditation for the headaches was a huge mistake, but things are improving and I’m able to sleep at least seven hours a night without even taking the melatonin.
Because of my recent interaction with my sister, I am arranging to speak with yet another therapist after the first of the year. I would be lying if I said that I was not anxious about my health, given that I’m having a breast MRI on 12/27. Every female relative on my mother side of the family has either had breast cancer or died from it. I’ve had nine biopsies and I have been lucky enough that I don’t have cancer, and I don’t have the gene for it. Only the primary immune deficiency, for which I will be having further genetic testing in an effort to determine whether or not I am susceptible to the leukemia that killed my father the day after Christmas. Thank you for your support
