Dearest friends,
I'm seem to be okay. I haven't had a heart attack but the medical people said I did the right thing in calling the paramedics. I'm in the hospital overnight for tests. They're not sure why I had the symptoms - jaw and neck pain, some nausea (symptoms that women tend to have when they sometimes don't have chest pain). I have several risk factors: both parents died from heart disease, I'm well past menopause and I have high cholesterol (despite my vegetarianism!) Also, they've found a couple of spots on my chest X-ray that weren't there in 2007 (and I'm an old TB patient) so they wanted to check that out.
Thank you so much for all your prayers. I know this community is a POWERFUL prayer force so, of course, I had to email Mad Priest before getting in that ambulance. (Then fortunately, some friends brought me my laptop after I was admitted.) No doubt all the prayer power had something to do with the (so far) positive outcome. (DON'T ask me how that works. I'm in no condition to do heavy-duty theology tonight.)
David, I'm so, so sorry about the job loss. I will definitely give that situation prayer time (I do have my rosary with me) and Jim, may your surgery go well. I promise to pray.
Again, thank you all so much. I love you dearly - each and every one of you.

And now a word about calling 911 and the Paramedics. If in doubt, do it! When they show up the hospital E.R. has come to you in the hands of very skilled medics who know what to do, how to do and have the equipment to do it, all in direct communication with the E.R. doc.

Prayers also, for David G. Hang in there, hon.
ReplyDeleteDavid G, yes. Prayers for you too, love. I meant to say that earlier.
ReplyDelete...And NO, I have never thought much of myself, ... Like I have such Fantasy...lol..
God loves you, David, therefore you should hold yourself in high regard.
Mimi ... Bless you for putting the word out!
Jaliya, the prayer requests seem to have become a ministry, one that was, in a way, thrust upon me, but one I'm honored to perform.
Excellent, excellent, news.
ReplyDeleteMuch to be thankful for today.
one of my students had good news today, having had a swell of bad luck through late last year.
ReplyDeleteMy lab reminded me it's Chinese new year! The year of the Rat wasn't kind to the misfortunate one (she's Chinese), and Ox appears to have come in like a bull.
So to speak.
Hey, whatever. We'll take whatever I can get.
Three cheers for the Year of the Ox!
ReplyDeleteAnd may what began as a bad year for some of us move forward into a very good year.
