Doctors and therapist's in my life!

This week I need to see my therapist on Tuesday, my Pyschiatrist on Wednesday, and my Oral Surgion on Thursday. I saw my Family doctor a few weeks ago. Where I used to dread going to these Docs, now I look forward to going as their number one interest is in helping me to become a healthy person. I am becoming more confident in myself, and believe that the best days are ahead for me. Special thanks to all the docs and their gifts of healing to the people who they administer too. Thanks also to all of the staff of Brooklane in Hagerstyown, Md, Mental Health Services in Hagerstown, Oral Surgion in Martinsburg, and family practice in Shepherdstown.
I believe that I am a much better person for their faithful services to me and all who benefit from them. Blessings to all of them, and their teams. Van

Between Winter and Spring

Seems to me that this has been a long winter. I enjoy the snow, but we got our fair share this winter. I did pretty good as for not getting depressed, and just took it into stride as to not allow myself to fall into a dark cloud. Today is March 15th, and the rain is almost stopped. Their has been a lot of flooding around the area, and I am glad that the rivers are finally receding. On Friday I had a Colonosopy at City Hospital. The procedures went fine, and I do not need to see the doc until another five years.I must say that I was a bit nervous. The hospital staff was excellent.
This week I meet with my therapist, my psychiatrist, and my dentist. I enjoy meeting with them as they usually affirm how I am feeling. I will need to get an implant put in on my back tooth, and in order to do this I will need to get a bone grafting, a sinus lift, and a titanium rod put in my mouth. I get very nervous about finances during this time. This is part of my Bipolar illness. I am learning to take one day at a time. My wife is helping me to slow down and take it easy. Thanks Karen. Well I must go for now, take care and have a great day. Van

Melting Snow

I for one am so glad the snow is almost gone here in the panhandle of West Virginia. As the snow began to melt, I saw signs of spring everywhere. The melting snow represents layers that come off when we accept the good things that God has reserved for us. I always have a hard time in the middle of winter because it is dark, and there is no color. Today I see buds on the trees and flowers starting to come out of the ground. The sun has healing virtues for me. I look forward to this spring. I will take walks and sing, and enjoy the breezes as they flow. Yes, I an very happy camper that the snow is finally melting.
