7/20/15 -- Some new developments concerning the headache I have been dealing with. I am getting a second opinion from a different Neurologist at the Dean/St. Mary's in Madison. My Neurologist was going to send me to a Pain Specialist anyway to so I request another Neurologist since the only Headache Specialist isn't accepting new patients. The appt. has been made and and my Neurologist has sent my records and his notes so now I am waiting for confirmation from the St. Mary's Clinic.
This past Sunday I went to a different Church, one that I had switched to while my son and daughter in-law where still in town. The reason being is; one - my Friend is out of town and no one to go to church with; two - they had a Baptism/Picnic was at a small area woods/creek that hasn't been my "thing" since my son has been out of the "house". My Friend tried to get to go to the 9am service which was still at the building, but I had to remind and reiterate that I still am having issues with walking into the doors on Sunday mornings and I explained to her why. In short it has to do with the fact that there are bad memories associated with Sunday mornings and that is just the way it is. She didn't have that much to say after that. At first she tried to say that I had to get past that but after I explained she couldn't respond. Not sure if that is good or bad.
Since I didn't go to my local church because of the Baptism/picnic someone messaged me to make sure she didn't miss me.
So, I explained that she didn't miss me that I had gone to a different church because this outdoor church thing just isn't my thing; I did explain why but she countered with "we are all family and there were other singles there." The thing is since my son has been grown and on his own I haven't like those outdoor services period. {There there is my ankle issues - I would have to wear an ankle brace on my right ankle, I just don't really want to do that not to mention the parking issue but all that is just excuses.}
Anyway, this friend seemed to "shoot" me for going to another church and having a "second family of believers" who care about me too. I don't get it: Why is it so wrong for me to have 2 "families" because where one has lack the other picks up? I have talked to select people in my second people that I KNOW I CAN TRUST about what I going on between my son and I and have gotten very wise and prayful advise. A few in my local family knows about the "outside" family, as far as, my talking to a certain pastor pair for advice and encouragement when needed.
