PS: Sorry for the typos above. Was dictating and had to run answer the door, hitting send before proofing. Happy to answer any questions.

If you haven’t had an MRI, perhaps that is your next step to ensure that there’s not more going on that would influence your decision.

I have an excellent counselor from our church, and she shared some wisdom that may help you. Generally, you are in shock from this kind of diagnosis. As a result, the executive center of your brain shuts down … and you’re in fight or flight mode. And here you are trying to make this important decision.

Sit in a quiet place. Slow your breathing way way down. Soften your abdomen between your sit bones and your hip bones… with each exhale soften more and more. This releases the pressure on your vagus nerve and re-engages your Executive Center. Calms you. Enables you to think more clearly. And just listen and process the information. You will know what to do. And it will be the perfect choice for you. Infinite blessings to you. You are not alone. We are many and we are with you. ❤️
