Thankful - Wife

All week I am going to be highlighting what I am thankful for in my life (in light of Christmas it just seems wrong to do otherwise).

DawnMarie and I just got back from seeing the Dr. of Natural Medicine in Connecticut. The Dr. spent 3 hours with us hearing about my issues and then talking us through a plan to start addressing those issues. Listen, I think this whole "natural" medicine things is crap (sorry if you find my use of language offensive), but the fact of the matter is I have no options left. I am desperate and so where "regular" medicine has failed to address my health issues I am hoping that Dr. Zigo can help me navigate my way back to a healthier life.

Her suggestions start with a long list of anti inflammatory foods, a pro-biotic, magnesium supplement, and using our Vitamix (Thank You Gloria for the gift).

What this will take though is a lot of work. Eating all fresh whole foods is going to take a big commitment, which I find a little overwhelming, but DawnMarie is excited. She is very supportive.

DawnMarie has supported me with trips to the doctor (lots and lots of trips), during tests, after surgery, through crazy mood swings, and particularly when I am sad. At this point the future is uncertain, the path ahead is uncharted territory. I know this though...my amazing wife will walk with me through it all. From raising funds for ECD research to learning how to use the Vitamix (which is no small task that thing is a monster) I know I can count on her.

I hope you are all lucky enough to have someone like her in your life.
