I'm getting this one in later than usual, mostly because I forgot until now. It's 11:24 pm as I write this, and I'm laying in bed with the lights out as I type this.
Lately, it seems like everyone I know has had some kind of health issue arise. Pregnancy, health scares, surgery, and most immediately for me, my mother's migraines. She hassuffered from them for a while now, but this last one was the worst one in a long time. She had to be temporarily hospitalized just to make sure that it wasn't a stroke.
Things seemed to come to a head today. When Mom felt well enough to get up, we told her to she needed to start managing her headaches. That is, she needed to be more disciplined in dealing with the things that caused her headaches. For example, the doctor told her to completely cut out caffeine. Also, Mom will tend to skip meals. This in turn makes her lightheaded and nauseous, so she won't eat, which causes headaches.
Mom's behavior is very predictable, and yet like so many of us, she will act the same way and somehow expect that "it'll be different this time."
Please pray that amok would cultivate the discipline to deal with her headaches and what causes them, and that we would be patient and loving in helping her.
