Do what makes you happy and feels right. Don't let others steal your sun
shine.  It should never be about money.  Enjoy your concert.

Stay strong and positive!
I guess any woman who read your post could relate to it.  I sure do.  There are times when I have felt abandoned emotionally by my husband and of course weight is an issue.  I really related to what you wrote.  I'm glad that you had the courage to show your husband what you wrote and that he responded positively!

I feel that any time nutrients can be substituted for medication , it should. I have a high prescription bill monthly. The most important point for me was that this regime was decreasing the pain, the money is justified there alone. I have chronic pain and I have a great deal of empathy for you. Stay positive and take the 'medication' that gets the best results!  sam

You are on the right track in keeping positive.

 Nutrients are better than medications.  You are never alone.  Whenever you

 feel alone, that's when He is closest to you.  Have a healthy and blessed day!

Replacing pills by nutrients is a great move! It is in essence detoxification!

Wow, bless your heart. Do you even realize how amazing you really
are?  I can only hope to be as strong if faced with just a few of your health issues.  I felt so mad at your husband for stealing your joy mid-way through your blog - and I am proud of you for allowing/wanting him to read it.  You are really a phenomenal woman.  My prayers are with you - have a blast with your daughter tonight!
