No more yo-yo please!

21 months already in Romania!! Over the past year, regarding the regulation of my thyroid, I say, “Enough with the yo-yo already!!” That is what it has felt like! Since I last wrote, I NEVER believed that I could get worse!! But, yes, I did! I went down on the medication, as advised, and I was unable to do anything! Finally, I had enough of going up and down on the medicine and I decided to take charge. I did my own research on the web and found out that when a thyroid condition like mine combines with my season of life, things go whacko! Well, they sure did! I decided to switch my brand of medication and, amazingly, started feeling better in 6 days! Some sleep medication helped as well! I am continuing to get my energy back every day, with symptoms decreasing, and am now catching up and organizing things here at home to get ready for the hospital. There’s nothing like being able to THINK! I hope you don’t hear anything further on this subject of my thyroid!

While I was unable to do much of anything, the Lord was working miracles for me! In this period of time I received two (2!) terrific pieces of fantastic, top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art equipment AT COST – one from a company in the States and the other from England. The rep in England even contributed some of his own money for the purchase! I now have a hearing aid programming box, which I needed, and a pediatric visual conditioning unit to use in the booth at the hospital! I am overwhelmed at His goodness! And, there was money there to cover them!

So, we will see what the month of July brings as I continue to feel strong and am sleeping better. Stay tuned…..!!!

The month of August has an IT conference in the Netherlands planned. I will be traveling by car with the Timisoara team. The trip there and back will encompass a week or so. Never been to Holland before, so I’m looking forward to it!

I will most likely be replacing my laptop soon. Portability will be key, as well as being able to program hearing aids with it. Will continue to seek what the Lord has in mind as things unfold!

I will keep you informed.
