Let not my world obscure the sight of Christ.

Sawadee Khrap

ACIM LESSON 304.

“ I can obscure my holy sight, if I intrude my world upon it. Nor can I behold the holy sights Christ looks upon, unless it is His vision that I use. Perception is a mirror, not a fact. And what I look on is my state of mind, reflected outward. I would bless the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. And I will look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven me.

You lead me from the darkness to the light; from sin to holiness. Let me forgive, and thus receive salvation for the world. It is Your gift, my Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son, that he may find again the memory of You, and of Your Son as You created him.”

Medical update

Sawadee Khrap

DIP  Drug Induced Parkinsonism.    Just had a MRI and MRA scan done, thank God I am in Thailand – cost 11,000 Baht,  US $350.   The results showed that the Parkinson symptoms were probably caused by the drugs and not brain damage.   Madiplot and Concor (CCB)  were the two blood pressure controlling drugs’ that got me going.

Looking on Google there are many DIP  (Drug Induced Parkinson) articles and most mention these drugs specifically.   My withdraw has taken 8 weeks so far and still mild tremors and lip shaking occurs, hopefully gone in a few more weeks. 

Getting enough sleep is crucial.   I intend to  start a night walking exercise, up and down the parking lot, to tire me out before bedtime and it should also help support a lower BP.   Using 60mg Valsartan, 30 morning / 30 evening,  seems to be holding my BP in the range 140-160.  And the Neurologist has me started on 1/2 tab of Apolets, antiplatelet, each morning as apposed to the normal baby aspirin routine.   I do have blockage in the Carotid arties so it can’t hurt.    I hold that questionable but will try it for a while to see is there are any undesirable side effects.  As I told the Dr., I am looking for QUALITY of life NOT QUANITY.  I sure as hell don’t want to become a drugged Parkinson vegetable case BUT they can always say he has low blood pressure.

Anyway things are returning to a 80 YO normal and have clarity of mind to continue seeking a closer relationship with God.
