Here's one of those.....

.....medical update thingys -

 

Yesterdays verdict, based on blood tests taken a week ago - The tests show that my liver is fine, so too my kidneys. There is no evidence of active Crohn's at this time. My vitamin levels are fine. I'm gaining weight. My platelets reading is very impressive for a Crohn's sufferer. The icing on that cake - I would not expect anyone who has had to endure what you have, both medically and physically, since 2009 to be as well as you. (Those are not my words.)

 

 

For the first time in over 30 years, I left a clinic without having to make a follow-up appointment. I just walked away, knowing there is one more test in the pipeline, looked up and said - Thank You.

Something I didn't know until recently....

.....In some cultural traditions, buildings are deliberately left unfinished. Even if the entire structure is an intricate work of art, one little section is kept incomplete. This is a spiritual gesture, an acknowledgement of the idea that there's always room for improvement!

 

 

Nothing is ever as good as it can get. When we claim to have it all or pretend that we have solved all our problems, we are kidding ourselves. To be human is to wrestle with incompatible urges. Something in your world may be far from complete. Yet that doesn't mean it isn't still perfect in its own way.
