What a difference a week makes!

This time last week I was in the hospital feeling very depressed and worried. I went to the doctor on the spur of the moment because of the way I had been feeling and he sent me by ambulance to the hospital because he was worried that I was about to have a heart attack. He didn't full around; I was on oxygen, taking both aspirin and nitroglycerin. Needless to say that the ride to the hospital was a bit scary!


This all happened on the first day of our Officer's Councils--what a way to start a week. Sean was up unloading their stuff into their house at camp (which is where Don was) so Sean took Don to pick up my van at the Doctors so that he could drive it to the hospital. It was a difficult night, not because I felt ill but because I kept contemplating the "what ifs." (I'll leave all of those thoughts for another day.) I am still in the process of "testing" to determine what my problem is. My heart seems to be strong and healthy; many of the tests confirm that. But whatever the results I know that I have a great support system to help see me through whatever.

Anyway, we have a wonderful staff here who are so supportive and helpful. I thank God that he has given us the privilege to serve here with them.

On the up side, Sean and Elissa are living here now--8 miles!!!away--and it is so good to be living near at least one of my kids and grandkids (actually, two of my kids counting Sean).
