I miss my brother and he knows that. I have not seen him for more than 8 years now and I would always stop to wonder how he is every now and then.

Last night I was up till it was past midnight +8GMT and I was happy that I did stay up. He popped a message in my Yahoo Messenger and we had a chat.

I told him how I am on sick leave now and the doctor said that it could be stress related due to a lot of factors. Whatever it is…I am staying on ground for now. Since I just gave birth it could be post-partum and my gynecologist prescribed that I stop all medications, change my diet and avoid meat specifically beef and chicken. (what about pork? I really don’t know…but that’s what she said!) Exercise 3 times a week. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Try to be in bed by 10 pm. And I will be rejuvinated. Oh, and she added that I drink St. John’s wort or chamomile tea and pray.

Now there is a big problem there when it comes to being in bed early. If I fly the red eye flights then that means I will be working from 10pm-12noon the next day! Good thing my specialist recommended that I take a week or two weeks of sick leave to get well and feel better. I have been walking like a zombie these past few days and doing things in auto-pilot. That spells D-A-N-G-E-R to me!

Now back to my brother. My brother, being the cool, easy-going guy that he is told me. “My prescription is: watch two funny movies everyday, Take naps in between, download funny clips on youtube, eat the food that you love and pray.

Wow! That sounds like a good plan and I certainly think it would work! Of course I would combine my gynecologist’s prescription with his. I believe that laughter is still the best medicine and of course the most important thing which is common to the two prescriptions. Now I can’t wait to rehab myself!

God Almighty I am claiming healing on my whole body and mind. By the stipes of Jesus I am healed. I know that this is not your plan for me or for my body. Give me the strength to follow the diet that is right for my body and guide me to do what is fit for me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to chat with my brother and feel his warm hug. Thank You for your love Lord. I rest in the fact that you have plans for me not to harm me. Protect me with the precious blood of Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen
