We are learning how to manage. Seat placement and exit strategy was a big deal. I think I have those two things done. I can sit up in the first row, by the choir. If I have to leave, I can exit right there, go out the doors by the flag poles and it a down-slope to my car in the circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We take two vehicles. When I start having symptoms, I leave before they generate a crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once I am in my car, I am fine. The cockpit remains the most comfortable existence for me. If I can drive, I go home. If not, I’m chillin’ in my car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My wife and I executed this plan Sunday morning.\u00a0 I took a Zanaflex one-hour prior to service.\u00a0 This slowed the progression of symptoms.\u00a0 I was able to make it a little more than half-way through the service.\u00a0 For those of you familiar with the progression of mass proper, I made it to just prior to the Liturgy of the Eucharist, right after the sharing of the Peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I missed the Lord’s Supper, but I was able to attend a portion and see many I haven’t seen in a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The after-effects were dramatic, but worth the agony to be in the Lord’s house.\u00a0 He continues to walk with me, where ever I may be.\u00a0 But, it was really nice to go visit him in his place and give him honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Christ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
