Note:
I decided to go home in about 10 days. My protocol will be only detox until I leave. – Jan 27, 2017
I had a crashed after Jan 27, 2017 so I continued my treatment. I steadily improved until mid-March when Gary told me the first time that my Fry Lab test indicated that I was good to go home soon. But at that point I started to feel bad, and it coincided with conflicts with my formal roommate. I moved out on March 19 to an apartment 12 miles away from SWI, and that put me under great stress. So I decided to continue my treatment until I felt better, and another Fry Lab test 4 weeks later confirmed that I was safe to go home. I was thankful during this period. Dr. Sponaugle advised me to move in with Michelle (a new patient) into one of the Sponaugle condos. My mother and I got alone with Michelle very well, and I started to feel better. But until my last treatment on April 21 I did not feel too well. Gary reassured me once the treatment stopped I would enter to the “healing phase”. I think Gary is right, as I am now feeling better day after day, and I believe it will only continue😊😄. April 27, 2017.
