Well, I went to see my Endocrinologist today, and she was not happy with me for the way I was doing my fast. I had decided to try the “Master Cleanse”. My blood sugar was way too low. I explained to her that I was doing it for spiritual reasons, so she suggested some alternatives. So I am continuing my fast, I am just going to modify it. I talked to one of my spiritual mentors, Sabrina, and she suggested I do a no-kill fast. What this means is that I will not be consuming any plant or animal that needs to be killed in order to eat it. Since I am a Vegetarian, I will need to make only some minor adjustments to my diet. In addition to my blood sugar issues, my Endo heard something strange with my heart, so now, tomorrow, I am going to a Cardiologist for some testing. Sometimes, I think this health stuff just goes on and on and on and on. Then, to make my day even more cheerful, my health insurance company called me to tell me that my medications that I am taking for my pituitary tumor and my AGHD (Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency) are now going to cost me $480 dollars a month. This is quite a considerable jump in price since I use to pay $50 dollars a month for these meds before. I am scared now that I will not be able to afford the meds anymore. I am now searching for places that might possibly give me some assistance with my meds. So on the whole, this day was not the best. Even though this day was a little of a downer, I am really looking forward to Friday with Jehara! When I got home, I walked Cosmo for a long walk, so I could think, and be with my animal and the earth and the air in the outside. As I was walking, I found two more pine cones in the park, these were in much better shape then the ones I had found yesterday, which I think is a good sign, because we were needing some pine-cones for Friday. So I feel better now, after my walk, and I know things are going to be okay. I know I seem to be rambling today, so I think I will stop now.
