I’m Normal!

Some of you reading the title of this post might be thinking, “I beg to differ.”  Allow me to explain what I’m talking about.  In March, I went to see the ophthalmologist because my eyes had been red for 3 months and I was feeling intermittent pressure behind my eyes.  The specialist didn’t find anything wrong with my eyes and the pressure had basically  gone away.  She sent me for a LOT of blood work, like 16 vials worth.  I called back 3 weeks later because I hadn’t heard what the results were.  They said they would look into it and call me back.  A week later, they finally called back and said that everything was good except that my white blood cell count was slightly low.  I made the mistake of googling what that could possibly mean.  HUGE mistake!  Did you know that leukemia is the first thing that comes up on Google?  I immediately went into major stress mode and started feeling pressure in my head again.  I’m thinking stress is the trigger for that.  I started wondering whether or not I would live to see my kids grow up and my train of thought was just horrible.  After praying a lot and another reflexology treatment, I felt better.  The person who called with my results suggested I should follow up with my family doctor.  I don’t have one, but I saw a doctor who said he would test everything to make sure I’m healthy.  That was over 2 weeks ago.  Today, I went in to find out my results and he said that my white blood cell count is normal!  Praise Jesus!  He said normal is around 4.5 and my number was 4.7.  He asked if I wanted to see on his computer screen, so he showed me and there was a long list of things they had tested and beside each one, it said normal, normal, normal, all the way down the screen.  When I got back to my car, I cried and praised God.  I have never been so happy and so relieved to be healthy and gloriously normal!!
