Last Monday in September. It’s been a month of drastic, sudden changes and followed by adopting or deleting the changes. I am happy and working on my health.

One visit to Urgent Care, a couple of prescriptions and I drove home knowing  bad habits are on the path to destruction.  Happy, loving me activities change this! For the record, I procrastinated going to the Urgent Care Clinic for 3 days.  I totally decided when I arrived they would do a COVID test and perhaps make me wait 4 days for results.  I hesitated because of the anticipated crowd at the clinic.  Both assumptions were wrong!

At Billings Clinic in the Heights,  I quickly checked in and in a few minutes I was in a room to see the Physicians Assistant.  She was caring, professional and compassionate.  After carefully listening to my complaints, she ordered blood work, did the routine blood pressure check and determined this illness was related to the one last October.

.

I left with 2 prescriptions for Antibotics and with peace of mind.  Next stop was Mary’s Health Food Store, to get Pro-biotics.

This week I started a 5 day challenge on line exercise!  It is amazing and after 3 days I can visibly see some results!  Imagine how I will feel in a month.

My car isn’t Montana friendly.  It stresses me out just thinking about driving in winter, Today, I  shopped for a car.  Subaru was on my list as a possible choice.  I will continue to shop until I meet the car I can live in.  I drive a lot so the term live in is appropriate.

My gift to new friends is giving them the opportunity to meet and greet in a zoom room  We will have one party a month. Much fun is anticipated!

Changes – Lifestyle Results

A Time for Change

Since the beginning of this year, I made changes.

I prayed.  . “I said God, I need to walk and talk and be productive or I need to clean cabins in Glory.  Have mercy on me and make a change in my life.”

My faith was so weak, I presented the two choices. Following the prayer something bad happened. I thought my assignment may be to clean those cabins.

In November of 2019 I became very ill. I went to Urgent Care described my feelings and gave a suggestion for my health.  The NP disagreed, ordered a cat scan, antibiotics and a follow up visit in 3 days…..(Interesting Christ arose on the third day)

After 3 days, I felt better and kept my appointment and told her what I needed next.  She disagreed, prescribed more antibiotics, a bland diet, no stress and several visits to other doctors.  In addition to the other Doctors, she wanted me to return in 3 weeks for a follow up cat scan.  Now,  visits to other Doctors definitely were not on my radar.

I did go for the second cat scan. The results were much improved.

The last week of December I returned to the NP. She shared her suggestions…none were acceptable. I asked for physical therapy to enable me to move, walk and stand better. She wrote a prescription.

Results

I was blessed to choose the best Therapist ever.  Twice each week for 6 weeks I went for a treatment. We documented my progress. Improvement is in the 70 percent range!

For Lifestyle ChangeIt is so exciting to share these results with you.  Why did it take so long to discover this route?  I don’t know.  Each year the surgeon said I must have another surgery.  I guess I fully believed him and did not look for any other option.

My early morning routine includes a 30 minute work out Prescribed by the physical therapist. When making changes in your personal life, I believe you should start with Health.  This is where I started.  It’s an ongoing process and I am thankful for the beginnings.   Let’s

Go Forth and Prosper,
