He has agreed to change my schedule to fit my needs. I will have a 2:15 dismissal daily along with a 20 minute break when needed.

Its amazing that I'm not dehydrated. Everday at school, I have to ask to go to the restroom, so I can cry. ( I don't like to cry during class, then people gauk at me. ) Speaking of school, mom has a meeting with the principal on Tuesday. She is nervous. We want to see if we can work something out, so that I can stay home to do my schooling, but still have the oppertunity to keep on the same level as my... http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/65520/43510/tired-tears http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/65520/42746/day-problems Mon, 29 Sep 2008 09:57:48 -0000 Morgan  Well, of course today being Monday I'm super sore. I think that every inch of me hurts. Last night I stayed after church to talk to one of my adult friends who is becomming a doctor. I questioned him about the muscle loss in my legs. He told me that I should try to figure out how many grams of protien that I'm intaking in a day. He said that you should consume the amount of one gram per pound that you weigh, so if you weigh 140 you... http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/65520/42746/day-problems http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/65520/42479/heavy-burdens Fri, 26 Sep 2008 23:30:40 -0000 Morgan    Sometimes I wonder how much more that I can take. He amazes me more and more everytime He brings me through another trial. The Lord is truly good. I just seem to fail to see that fact when the trials come. Sometimes it feels as if earth herself is falling around me. I look around and see no one there, but He is there, He is always there. Every day it seems like something new has come up. One day it's me the next it's mom and then... http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/65520/42479/heavy-burdens http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/65520/41355/reassment Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:18:27 -0000 Morgan    Well, I had my reassment test yesterday evenig. My therapist is going to discontinue my therapy due to the fact that it is not helping me. She still wants me to do some pool exercies at least once a week to keep me mobile.

The stress of moving and the stress of school and other... http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/65520/41355/reassment http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/65520/40784/blessed-part Sun, 14 Sep 2008 00:59:19 -0000 Morgan  If you would like to see the pamplet about our ladies conference.

I was just thinking about how much I actually have been blessed. My dear mother has been in horrible pain with a tooth that she had a root canal on last year. And yet she still fights for my health. I wish that I could one day have the privilage to be a mother such as she. This weekend our church hosted our 6th annual east coast ladies conference. There were several states represented. Even a group of ladies from a church... http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/65520/40782/blessed http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/65520/40412/overlooked Wed, 10 Sep 2008 22:09:44 -0000 Morgan  Ah...  today as usual I struggled through school and therapy. It seems like I get worse day by day. I feel my weakest, I hurt the worst, and I 'm more tired than ever. It's not until something is taken away that we realize how much of a blessing it was to even have in the first place. It's amazing to me that we think that we deserve tomorrow, or the ability to walk or function. It all could be taken away and God would still be... http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/65520/40412/overlooked
