It’s Normal (for Me)

I want to give a great big shout out to Alicia Thompson for stepping out and talking to us about something that would change our lives!

Granted, I’m her mom, so it wouldn’t have been that scary for her to approach me … but being assertive with the woman who gave birth to you can’t be easy!

When she told me what she was doing to improve her own life, I remember telling her, “Your dad really needs this,” (even though I knew he wouldn’t take it because he was “fed up with ‘gimmicks'” that I had previously thrown at him)!

Her quick reply was “Mom, YOU need this too!”

ME??? 😮

I wasn’t “sick” — everything I was dealing with was just “normal”! 🙄

Okay, so yeah … I woke up with throbbing discomfort in my head every morning (which had caused bleeding sores in my stomach because of the OTCs I was taking, sometimes twice a day), but that had been my modus operandi for years! Not a big deal, right? 🤯

Oh, and … yeah, I had dealt with constipation for as far back as I could remember — going maybe 2 or 3 times a week — but that was “normal,” too — (at least for me)!

Oh, and I had that adrenal and thyroid problem that I was being treated for … and, yes, the drain was full of hair every time I shampooed … but I still had hair, so I guessed THAT was normal (for me)!

And there was that little thing they told me I had back in 2013, after an upper GI, that they were “watching closely” and treating me for.

And I DID wake up several times a night to go potty (and sometimes had trouble falling back to sleep) … but that was just normal (for me).

Oh, and there was that little matter of a bronchial infection that I couldn’t shake, even with all manner of antibiotics, inhalers, and steroids. “But it’s ‘normal’ to get sick, and some battles are just plain hard to fight!” I thought.

Sure, my blood tests always came back with high (and low) numbers in many categories, and I was taking a symptom suppressor for the pressure of my blood in the circulatory system, but, hey! I was functioning. After all, I wasn’t “sick and stuck in bed” like my husband was, with a debilitating autoimmune disease!

But, to help my girl out, I said, “Sure. I’ll order from you.”

Here’s why:

I’m a sucker for buying things from our kids!

Years earlier, I had talked Warren into buying a timeshare from one of our daughters who had been telemarketing while in school.

We had also invested in a mutual funds company that one of our sons-in-law had worked for.

We always wanted to help! What was different about this???

Well … little did I know that I would begin to notice subtle changes early on! As time went on, my husband started noticing big changes in my energy and mood.

One day, out of the blue, he said to me, “I think I’d like to try that stuff!” 😮

WHAT???? 💥

To make a long story short, ten months later, Warren was completely off of ALL his medications, including regular infusions at the hospital, and I was no longer dealing with all of those “normal-for-me” things!

All praise and glory to the ultimate Healer, who is a prayer-answering God. Can’t put Him in a box! He chooses many different ways to deal with His children. Sometimes He sends them a daughter with the answer they need!

So … yeah! A big shoutout to this girl pictured above.

We think she’s pretty special! 💖💖

Plain and simple!
