Step #2 – Wisdom – for the doctor

My doctor didn’t know exactly what was wrong with me. She talked about grit in my ear and said a neurologist could put me through some maneuvers to move the grit out of its current position and all would be well.

Two weeks later a neurologist did the maneuvers that would bring on the dizziness and move the grit. Nothing. She told me I didn’t have any grit problems.

Next, she gave me some neurological tests to see how my nerves were functioning. I passed these tests with flying colors – up until the one that was like a sobriety test walking one foot in front of the other in a heel to toe way. I couldn’t do it! If she hadn’t been close to catch me, I would have fallen. She and I both knew something was wrong. When she said I needed an MRI test I felt sick with worry.

Dear God,

I pray for wisdom for the doctor to know what to do with me, specifically what tests I might need and what medications might help.  If she doesn’t know what the problem might be, help her to
say so and to know who to send me to. Amen.

The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Psalm 32:8
