Last weekend, there were terrible tornadoes in the center of the United States. There are lots of videos on YouTube, but this one was my favorite. This man was faithful, trusting and calm in the midst of a swirling chaos! He was living by faith and certainly not by sight!

Well, it happens I have been in quite the storm for the last 24 hours. I went to the doctor for my annual physical feeling quite fine. To make a long story short, due to some changes and inconsistencies in EKG’s and blood tests, the doctor insisted that I go to St. Peter’s Hospital in an ambulance! 
I I was mortified at all the attention and especially since I was a-symptomatic…no pain, shortness of breath..etc. David left school to meet me at the hospital and my precious children arrived shortly , too. I had tests in the emergency room and waited there for 8 hours before being taken up to a room in the cardiac wing. Family went home and I tried to sleep with machines dinging , blood drawn at 1 AM, and my roommate having tests in the night as well. This morning came breakfast, not bad for institutional food, but that turned to be a mistake as the Cardiologist came and wanted me to have a nuclear /isotope stress test but couldn’t because I had had one cup of coffee which negates the isotopes in the test ! So I will have that in a week or so . I am home now and very glad to be here. I still have no definitive diagnosis.
Life can be a tornado flying low and fast and hard and sudden….. I am very thankful for my loving family. I am thankful for a doctor who is very thorough and caring. I am thankful for this hospital which is the leading Cardiac Hospital in the district for the gentle , professional care. Though life changes sometime with a unexpected blow to the head or heart, I am thankful that God never changes and is always with me in all situations no matter the outcome. Blessings to you all!
When Christ’s disciples (close followers) asked Him to teach them to pray. This is the prayer He gave them:
Namaste. . . . .This Is Life!

Isn’t life strange that way? You go on for years without any symptoms and then BANG! suddenly they find something evil inside you that you know nothing about. I spent 40 years with MS symptoms that went undiagnosed because they didn’t have a way to dx it, then got a phone call just before New Year’s of 2001 telling me I have MS, had had it for years, but they hadn’t know how to dx it until about then. Then to add insult to injury, the meds I took for the MS gave me a heart attack, so now I can’t take any of them. But I was so happy to finally have a name for all of the things that had been happening I really didn’t care. Now I have new goals — first one being to walk again, although the doctor doesn’t think I’ll be able to. I’ll prove him wrong in the end though because if I don’t I might as well just curl up somewhere and die, and I’m not willing to do that. You are in my prayers, dear friend. Hopefully they will find it is all a big mistake, and the stethoscope was just full of earwax, LOL.

Hope you’re still feeling ok and that your doctor was erring on the side of caution – better to be safe than sorry. I’m thinking positive thoughts for you. Take care.
