…I would ask for your prayers.
As many of you know, I’ve been ill for quite some time. I seem to catch whatever anyone throws at me - actually, if a man sneezes 10 blocks away, it somehow seems to travel right to my head!
But, beyond that, several weeks ago I began to feel dizzier than normal (no blonde jokes please - it’s not “Happy Wednesday” yet people!) - so, last week I finally went to see my doctor about it. Then she did a blood pressure test…
It didn’t surprise me that my blood pressure was low initially - usually nurses take it more than once and seem to want to tap on my wrist and say, “Is this thing on!” - but, when I stood up, my bp dropped through the floor.
Apparently, it’s called orthostatic hypotension - they know what it is, they just don’t know what’s causing it.
So, in the next couple of weeks I’ll be going to a cardiologist and having a bunch of scans (I read in my dr’s referral something that looked like “ct brain scan” - I really don’t want that because I definitely WON’T pass that test!!).
Anyway, if you think of it, please pray for me and my family. I have been MIA for quite a while now and they have had to pick up the slack (in fact, I really haven’t been out of the house in weeks except to go to church ONCE and go to the doctor).
It just stinks for everyone - I can’t sing anymore until I know I won’t fall over and take out the first 2 rows in the theater, and…well, it’s just getting old to lie down all the time and feel like a slug.
Seriously, I’m making the “couch potato” look great - I’m more like a bedroom squash!
And let me tell you - IT STINKS TO BE A SQUASH!!
Thanks so much for your prayers.
Peace.
Done in Jesus name! Take care of yourself my friend.
Sorry to hear you are suffering with this. I had to drop out of the choir (and a lot of times even attending church) for a couple years due to dizziness. Will be praying for a speedy recovery and the grace to deal in the meantime.

Praying for you Angie! Mike shared with me last night your prayer request. I’m glad the Dr.’s are being aggressive about figuring out everything though. Stay healthy and show your sweet face soon.
