I also went through this for another reason. My spiritual reason was to get back as close to God as He made me to be, not what I had become. My nutritionist is in to orgainc foods, and that has really reminded me of what God intended me to eat. Faith was never brought up during our counseling sessions, nor would she even have a clue as to what I am about. If any of you are familiar with the chastisements that are to come as spoken by the Virgin Mary in her apparitions, you are well aware of what I am talking about. I really do believe in the Church’s teachings, and practice them to the very best of my ability at this time. I am not saying anyone else does not believe, or even believes like I do, I am just letting you know where I am spiritually. The priest at the hospital was amazed at how quickly I had recovered, until he understood the depths of my faith. (I had turned the visit into a personal spiritual retreat, nothing else to do so why not?) My hubby and I were discussing this last night, and I believe that I have been led to this point for a reason. I hope this helps. The choice must always be yours, not mine. You must hear the horror stories as welll as the successes so that you know what to expect in a worst case scenario. Oh, and I went in with the annoiting of the sick. If that made a difference, which I believe it did, then there is something to be said for this. Maybe we should start a thread on the chastisements and what we can do to help prevent them as a group
You will always make the best choice for you
Praying for a good recovery
