For nearly a year I have been suffering with an unknown cause of "seizures" though being awake at the time they occur.  It is like strokes where I have lost my speech until just recent.  It has returned.  There is no known cause but the Neurologist thinks it may have started by my Thyroid surgery where my Thyroid was removed due to cancer.  It took a long time to get that resolved due to very sluggish Obamacare type insurance.  Good grief!   

My body has increased in size over the past several years and learned that I have Lipodema, an incurable disease that caused this phenomenon.  As a former athlete, and super active lady, I could not figure why I could not lose weight.  The disease will not let you loose weight and it stops surgeries in the legs.  I have a very bad leg that at some point the doctor may tell me they may want to take it.  I will not do that as it is throughout my body and doesn't stop it. I will have at some other point be at the same place preparing to lose another limb or limbs. I would rather be with my Lord than suffer like this.  

I also have been found with breast cancer and found it several months ago and to date nothing, nothing has been done, not even an MRI.  Finally after a huge battle I got my insurance to locate along with my doctor a place I can go to get an MRI.  The cancer has not been treated yet so it may have enlarge, metastasized, I don't know as it now has been close to 4 or more months since first found in my right breast.  I nearly had to get an attorney to get the help I needed.  I have suffered through misdiagnosis, refusal to treat me, laughed at,  rebuked by someone at my church who said incredible aweful things, insurance making me feel like I was in the Twilight Zone show.  To date I have no knowledge of what type, what stage or anything.  Normally I am one very strong lady but two Saturdays ago my "dam" broke and laid in bed crying throughout the day.  My bad speech is returned much of the time again and it has been quite a journey.  I appreciate your prayers for sure.  

I have moved from Texas back to CA and have had quite a time readjusting to extreme liberalism/socialism.  Yikes!!!!! Pray for CA.There are many bizarre happenings here.

Some of you may remember Marie of 3 years ago.  I ended up her caregiver and she eventually left us to be with Jesus.  I am grateful she is not present for all we folks here are seeing.  Her family consists of many who serve overseas with various mission boards, all of her family know the Lord well.
