I thought that it would be easy to find a support system for people with Asperger's Syndrome or other mental health issues here in town, I was wrong. I was surprised when the nearest chapter of NAMI or other like groups were at least an hour plus drive from where I live. Sydney clung to me several times today as if he knew what I was going through behind his back. He embraced me in a long hug and saying how he loved me so very much, he grew to be just over my height in what seems like a flash of light. I held him back tightly as I replied that I loved him too. Soon I will go to a support meeting for parents like myself, a mother of a child with (Moderate) Asperger's Syndrome, I hate to cry alone.
Today I went to the pulmonologist's office to see what, if anything can be done to the newly found node in my left lung that reared up in a preoperative chest x-ray. I beg with God to make the pain go away and to let surgery happen soon. Tomorrow I go to the hospital for a PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) and a return to his office on Monday to see if he gives me the thumbs up for my long awaited C5,6,7 spinal fusion and discectomy.
