~Just Another MaNiC mOnDaY~

oh how i love the 80s!! great music. so yea its monday--> saw Dr. Saper today (he is the man who started everything and has done most of the research for hte past 25 years in this program). So he said that we are going to try me on a prevenative that is similar to thorazine which is my protocol. The also decreased the dosage of my protocols today and gave me some more options for abortives. YAY! so it looks like i will be out of here somewhere b/t mid/end of the week. Praise Jesus, bc im so ready to come home. I'm getting a little stir crazy just sitting around this hospital. I go outside for a walk everyday, but still i just feel trapped kind of. So-- many of you are asking can you still send me mail. I think your best bet is to send it to my house in montgomery. Im going to go back there for a while when I get back from Michigan. No worries though, as soon as i feel good enough to drive to auburn and see everyone, I will be there to visit for a while. Right now its looking like spend nov and dec in montgomery and then come back to auburn for the spring semester. Ok, well that is what i want. My parents feel kind of differently- they want me to stay in the gump, but i just miss auburn way to much. Its so hard bc there is such a fine line--they talk about how distraction is a good way to cope with the pain, but i sometimes do way to many things for distraction and i end up worse than before. Well I guess its is all about finding that balance, right? :) So Ericka sent me an email with these incredible verses that have to do with healing. I want to share it with yall, bc its extremely encouraging, especially if you are seeking out the Lord to heal you either emotionally or physically. so, here we go-->
