Layla

[Lindsey]

I went to the doctor and got my physical. I also mentioned a couple of spots on my skin that have popped up over the past few years, one on the bottom of my foot, and another on my hand, and they've been growing. The one on my hand has probably actually been about 7 years or so, and it has gone from looking like a blue pen spot to a larger blueish gray spot that is raised from the skin. Anyways, he's referring me to a plastic surgeon to have them removed and tested for skin cancer. Just finally speaking up about them has lifted a huge weight off my chest. I just want to know for sure and stop worrying.

I told the doctor about Layla and he said being spiritual is so important for health and he's happy to hear I've been praying for her. He gave me "homework" for my next appointment this fall, keeping a food and activity diary, list of supplements and vitamins I take, and also a spiritual journal. He said he will pray for Layla too, and he hopes I have good news when I see him again this fall.
