So today was in Birmingham. Period. At 7:30 AM (it does exist!) I went for my CT scan at UAB Hospital. I then met with my doctor (brain guy) at 8:30. He felt in the bottom of his heart that "with time" all would be correct; however, I believe he understood that crazy vision and no facial expression was not working. I would love to give all that time, BUT, that's one, I want to do things...female in her mid-twenties would enjoy driving, silly girl! He of course understands. Perhaps I am different from others (big surprise face) only He knows, BUT, that's two, now my shunt has been raised to 2.5 which is the highest it can be without removal. It's backwards, yes. High pressure like 2.5 means low draining like hopefully improve my symptoms in the coming weeks.
Dr. Kline (eye guy) I saw at 1:30. I went through the whole Eye Exam I recieved Monday January 30th with Robert Sandlin in Athens, Alabama and I am still not sure which one was a "waste of time". Maybe my eyes are really healthy...cross-ed, but healthy. He said that my prism lens that correct my vision would be scary thick. Also after the change made to my shunt this morning, changes can happen and it may be a blessing in disguise to not get glasses for now.
First, I agree with Sophia (Golden Girls...edgy?!) "I never understood why blessings wear disguises. If I were a blessing, I'd run around naked."
Second, yes, I was upset about the not driving-boo hoo-I still can't drive stuff at first. Some good prayer and really good God talk has shown me A LOT. I've typed up the first of the Serenity Prayer below to sum up the ultimate feelings.
'God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.' - RB
Lastly, man repairs & God heals. I have so many phone calls to return! You honestly care about me that much. It's crazy. Prayers upon prayers have went up and are going up for me. Crazy. I am so blessed by such a gracious God! Thank you for loving on me and know that all that stuff in the first two paragraphs, that's repair work. Only God can heal and He already has. I have been bought with a price like EVERYONE, and I have been washed clean. Mess up from now on?? YEP! Not perfect, just saved. My time on this earth is important, oh yea, BUT, that's three, my eternity is the most vital, and it's in Glory! Hallelujer! May God recieve the glory, honor, and praise for His perfect will (Psalm 18:30)! I love you all dearly :)
