This Month of August 2022 is Half Way Gone!!  By Anthony Joseph Hopkins August 18, 2022

     This month is almost over.  It is August 18, 2022.  I have spent most of this month inside of the hospital.  I had a Breakthrough Seizure.  I will admit that a Breakthrough Seizure is not very easy to deal with.  I have been taking my medications as prescribed by the doctor.

     Next, I want to inform all of you that I am out of shape at the moment.  I know that it has not been easy dealing with seizures in general.  This means that I have electricity inside of my brain.  I have gained 13 pounds in 4 weeks.  I also will admit that I am taking 28 prescription medications.  I know that one thing is that these medications are causing me to sleep entirely too much.

     Further, I want to inform all of you that it is not easy dealing with sicknesses.  I have to start getting back into shape.  I want to inform all of you that I am gaining too much weight.  The weight gain is causing me to slow down tremendously.

     Moreover, I have a brother and a cousin that birthdays are coming up next week.  I wish my brother and cousin the best of days.  I really love spending so much time with my family.  My family is very important to me.  I have been hanging in there at the present time.

     In Addition, I have to go back to the hospital next week.  I have been trying to put things into a better perspective in my life.  I am doing this by spending time with God in prayer.  I have been sleeping entirely too much.  I have been going to bed before 8:00PM.  I wake up around 5:00AM to take my morning medications.

     Frankly, I have been sad and depressed as of late.  I know that my life has not been easy to deal with.  The sun might be outside right now, but I have been feeling dismal at the moment.  I have been happy inside, and sad on the outside.  This means that I am feeling borderline depressed.  As long as God is with me, I should not feel this way. 

     Finally, I want to inform all of you that I am feeling much better than I felt last week.  Do you know that for the first few days inside of the hospital, I had to use a walker to walk with?  It seems like whenever I have a seizure or a stroke, I lose my ability to walk.  I want to also say that this month has came by so quickly that time waits on anyone.

     In Conclusion, I want to allow everyone to please keep me in your prayers.   I have been trying to take care of myself as best that I know how.  This month has come and gone so quickly.  Sooner or later, it will get cold again.  This means that I will be spending most of my time inside of the house.  I have to wear a coat again very soon.  My family members and friends are concerned about me right now. 

     Subsequently, I have to purchase a brand-new wardrobe.  I also need shoes and a very decent coat to wear.  I know that I am a 57-year-old man, who is intelligent, bright, gifted, and honest.  I am a person who has a lot of common sense.  I am a person who has come a very long way academically.  

 I used to attend school and there were times when I did not go to school at all.  I have to take my time with every single task.  I have to start walking inside of my neighborhood.  I know that my neighborhood is rough at the moment.  I love all of you.  I love Jesus Christ.  I love God the Father.  I love people as a whole.  I would like to start praying in the morning, and read my Bible every single day of the week.  I have been reading inside of the Book of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, and Lamentations.  It is a start!!  I read the Books of John and Romans as well.I love all of God’s Creation.  I love people very much.  I love animals very much.  I love everything that God has created.  I know that this month of August is almost over.  I have to literally prepare myself for another winter.  God has been blessing me each day of the week.  God Bless All of You!!
