All's Well That Ends Well

It has been a rather long day. Up early followed by lots of sitting and waiting.
The good news is that Sweetie's heart has no new blockages and the stents that were installed a few years ago are nice and clear. We were able to pack the patient up after a couple of hours and bring him home to sleep in his own bed. As nice as it is to go away, it's even better to come home.

Of course, now that we know there are no blockages the question remains what is causing the symptoms Sweetie has been having for awhile. After today's experience I have complete confidence in the VA doctors and facilities. I think we'll find the answers we're looking for.

Today has been all about feeling gratitude ...
For all the people who prayed for and surrounded my Sweet and ME with positive energy
For the doctors and nurses who took care of him
For the kind people at the VA who pointed me in the right direction every time I got lost
For cruise control so that I didn't get a speeding ticket
For XM radio
For Linda Lu taking care of Dad and the cats while I was gone
For the hand of the Divine Healer that down and pulled us close

Feeling blessed,
Merry ME

Very happy that your Sweetie is home, and will keep my fingers crossed they will find what is causing the symptoms.
Is this indigestion or heartburn or a panic attack?

Gratitudes make your day feel richer and brighten it, don't they ? It's such a nice thing to do, to recall them, and know they are present every day:)

I send Grandmother Great Spirit to wrap you in Her loving and capable wings, and lay your Sweetie down amidst the folds of her lap for total and complete healing. I give thanks in advance for the healing light of Her Love. I send the Angels to watch over and guard you all at this time, bringing you the peace that passes our understanding. The Peace the Masters know and serve.
You will be in my prayertime and thoughts Merry Me...as I am grateful too this day to have had such a wonderful prayer issued to my Grandson and myself by you. We are all in this web of life together...and since February is the month of love...I send you and yours much love and many blessings.

An Easter Miracle

How is it that after someone you love dies, time moves on even when it feel like its standing still? Philosophers, poets and writers have tried to answer that question since time began. I don't have the answer. I just know that, by what I can only imagine is the Grace of God, it does. When you heart is broken into something resembling a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and there are no directions on how to put it together, somehow it mends. When some else dies and it cracks again, God stitches the old wound and the new wound together into a patchwork of healed scars. Fifteen years ago, when I watched my mother draw a breath then counted the seconds before she took another but none came, I sat by her bed and tried to imagine being a motherless child. Then I did what any kid would do, ran down the long hospital corridor sounding the alarm. "My mother isn't breathing." "My mother isn't breathing."  Want to see doctors, nurses, CNAs, and cleaning ladies tur

Holy Moly

I knew it had been quite some time since I'd posted anything here, but had no idea it had been since December. Where does the time go? Is there anyone out there still reading this blog.  I don't know what happened, but the words just quit coming. And maybe I got lazy. One's muse leaving town and being lazy is a deadly combination, especially for a blogger. Well if you're still here, I'd like to redirect you to a new blog. (I know that doesn't make any sense - not writing one place then starting in another. It's kind of like having 5 pairs of jeans, but knowing in your heart of hearts that you really need the ones that are sale staring you in the face.) The new blog Crazy Maizey   chronicles the life of my son's dog, Maizey. She has been diagnosed with cancer. We all feel very sad.  Right now Maizey doesn't even appear to be sick. She limps now and then, but can plays, swims, and beats up her brother like always. For some reason, learning abou

Misadventures of a Happy Heart A Memoir of Life Beyond Disabilities by Amy Quincy When E-books first came out, I was of the I'll-never-buy-one-because-I-like-the-feel-of-a-book-in-my-hand school of thought. Then I bought one. Then two. Then enough more to realize reading on a Nook was infinitely easier than holding a bound book and turning the pages, especially when reading in bed. Which is where I usually read. I also like the fact that I can make the font bigger to match my diminishing eye sight. I got a new pair of glasses last week and was amazed at how clear and bright the world looked through the new prescription. The saleswoman put a card with tee-tiny writing on it under my nose and I could read with no difficulty at all. Until I got home. Now I'm having to move my head either up or down depending on whether I'm looking far away or close up. Perhaps I should have saved the money I spent on new glasses and bought a larger Nook. None of that made any differe
