Day One: Morning, From the Hotel Room

So, here we are, in our hotel room. It is really nice! It has pretty much everything that I would want in a "safe" house. It was really nice to be able to relax and not have to worry about whether or not something is going to make me sick. The one exception is the water. It is NASTY! It smells like plastic. There is a filter for drinking water in the kitchen, and a filter for the shower, although I can still smell the plastic in the shower. I still used my own counter top filter for my drinking water, but I did use the filtered water to fill it.

I finally got settled in my bed. It just took a bit to get used to one that is level and straight. LOL And it is taking me a bit to get used to this space. It is hard to explain, but I am never at ease unless I am in my room or in my chair in my living room. Even within my own home, like in John's room or a different chair in the living room makes me food off. I think it is just my body's sense of my surroundings and I don't do well with anything else. I am getting used to a couple of spots here so that is getting better. Once the man-child gets up I plan to make a video of our room and y'all will get to see what I mean.

My appointment with the doctor is for 1:00 this afternoon so I would appreciate more prayer. I am working on my list of questions for him, so I will be prepared. And the only other thing I want to do today is get some groceries. I want to go to the local Whole Foods store, which is in our "neighborhood". I am really craving a salad after yesterday's lack of veggies from being on the road. Ciao for now. I will try to post something later on today once I have a better idea what is going on.

T-minus two days... is that right?

Hey! It is just a couple of days before I leave to go see Dr. Rea in Dallas. He is an Environmental Illness specialist. It is a six to seven hour drive for us, and in all honesty I am really nervous. I thought that I should try to vlog about it and take videos each day so I can keep everyone up to date on what is going on. Thanks for watching!

Let the countdown begin!

I just made the appointment for the clinic visit and so now I begin my countdown to the appointment. (Five weeks FYI) I am excited and nervous and just glad to be getting this done. I don't like being poked and prodded, but I do hope for answers and a possible cure or at least a way to manage my life. So, on the off chance that anyone is actually reading this, and doesn't know about the Go Fund Me page I have, here is a link. There is also one on the right side of my home page here on Blogger. My whole story is there, in case anyone wants to read about it. Thanks for being here, and reading my blog.
God bless you and yours

Today I had the privelidge of being interviewed by my local ABC affilliate. I got to meet two really nice men that genuinely seemed interested in my story. I have the link to what was on the TV, so if y'all want to see the extreme close ups, here you go!

Here is a link to a blog that expresses very well what it is like for us canaries to try to maintain friendships and family ties.

Day 3 of MCS Awareness month.

May is MCS Awarenss month!

Happy May everyone! I am working on some finals for school so I will make this quick. May is MCS awareness month. There are several people that are working to distribute facts about MCS, so that everyone can be more aware of what it is, how it might affect them, and how their choices are affecting people around them. More to come, so keep checking back here to see what wonderfully creative ways people are getting the word out.
God bless you and yours
