This week has been amazingly full of both Highs and Lows. I will finish the post later this evening, but wanted to start it off now.

Jennifer's Highs.

1. My visit with Congress really went well. I think I brought Lyme Disease Awareness to many at the Legislative Building, but also Integrative Medicine.

2. My photo op with my Doctor & Nurse. I don't know where the photo is going to show up, but I do know it's a big deal. I hope I looked okay. Probably a bit too happy to be a patient and a bit too dressed up!!!! But still very cool opportunity.

3. My biggest high however was hearing my grandfather said the words "I love you."

Jennifer's Lows.

1. I am still very winded from my visit with Congress. I don't know that it did my health any good to visit that many people, but I do know it did my heart good. So even though I am paying for it today, many others will reap the reward for my measly low later.

2. My grandfather is not doing well. It makes my heart heavy & sad. When I saw him lying in the hospital bed, it took me back 9 years when I last saw my Granny in the same position. It hurts my soul to lose her all over again. My other low is that now that I'm sick, it really is in my best interest (and his) not to visit. So I got one visit with him at the hospital. I hope he remembers how much I love him and even though I am not there ... I hope he feels me in his heart. I love that man. He's something special to me. Always has been and always will be. Memories I have of him are everlasting.
