Six Months

Six months post stem cells have found me back in LA for my “booster”. I’m sure today will be the most interesting day here. As we were entering the Infusio building, a woman came toward us that I just knew looked familiar. Just as she passed us I loudly said (as if I knew her) “Melanie Griffith!”. She turned around, walked back to us, and shook our hands as H E smiled and told her we were from Mississippi. We talked about Lyme disease a bit, she wished me luck and went on her way.

Then on to Infusio where they hooked me up to the ever loving diagnostic machine. I then met Dr Kim so we could go over what has changed since my last diagnostic test in October. Let’s just put it this way. About the only thing that shows improvement is my brain and cognitive ability. My adrenals have improved too, which is great and I am thankful for these. But when you hear a doctor tell you that all of your internal organs have been damaged and/or compromised, it will bring reality slamming you down to earth. My heart, liver and kidneys have taken quite a beating. I knew this, of course, just didn’t want to hear it again. My muscular/skeletal report is horrible, thus all the pain. My stress levels are through the roof and my lymphatic system and my immune system are screwed to the max.

All of this information leads to getting blood work done tomorrow. I have to fast after midnight which doesn’t really matter since she told me to quit eating anyway. 😩 She put me in the lymphatic draining bed. H E got me through that by saying stupid things to make me laugh.

Dr Kim added one teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water to my home therapy program to bring down my acidity. That’s minor compared to the rest of it. I take pills called DAO, Histamine Scavenger, CBS, Reishi Mushrooms, and SAMe. I drink one teaspoon of psyllium seeds with a swallow of orange juice, one teaspoon of clay (yep…clay) in a glass of water, two liters of nettle tea, one liter of water, and a hot turmeric drink at bedtime. Don’t ask me what any of these are. I couldn’t tell you. I just do as I’m told. I have to continue this for a year.

In other news today 🙄 we returned to the hotel and ate a $138.00 lunch that would have cost me $10.00 to cook and I’ve been in my room since just crying and ready to give up. I’m sorry, but I’m just not as strong as people think. I’m tired of fighting and just plain tired. I hate this city! Sirens, horns, yelling, screaming, construction, destruction, ridiculous prices, and rude people who think anyone from Mississippi is a hick and stupid. H E met a man (that looked homeless) at !!!Starbucks!!! buying coffee 🙄🙄🤪 and when H told him he was from Mississippi the man said, “Mississippi isn’t worth a s*%+! Then proceeded to tell him he was the ruler from Florida to Texas and all the way up to Maine. H told him he must not be a very good ruler if he messed Mississippi up so bad. 😂🤣😂

I am homesick and ready to go back to my peaceful MISSISSIPPI home. I’ve missed my grandson’s birthday (yesterday) and my son’s birthday today.

I’m beginning to lose hope and that scares me. Please keep me and HE in your prayers. This is so hard on him too. Hopefully I’ll be in a better frame of mind tomorrow.
