What a week!

I sat here last Tuesday and wrote a post. On Wednesday morning, I went to see the doctor for my 2 week check up. I then went to the pharmacy and the grocery store. I talked on the phone on the way home and came in thinking things were ok. Bob and I ate some chicken strips and were sitting here when it all turned upside down. I started having pain in my upper left shoulder and then it would hurt down in my chest bone. It was a lot like a bad cold. The back of my neck hurt too. It went on for a bit. I called my mother in law and said if it doesn't get better, we may have to go to the hospital. About 15 minutes later, we were on our way. We got there and it finally calmed down. They were going to do one more CT scan and probably let me come home when my blood pressure dropped and I passed out as I flopped in the wheel chair. They ended up keeping me over night. The next morning, my doctor came in and told me that the blood work showed a heart attack. How crazy is that. So, he went and made calls. They transferred me to TJ Sampson in Glasgow, KY. I went straight to ICU. They did an ultrasound and could see some issues. I was set up for the heart cath the next day. They took me in for the heart cath and found an artery with 99% blockage. They went ahead and inserted two stents at that time. That was my Wednesday thru Friday. WOW! I got out of the hospital on Monday. It is Tuesday and I'm home. I am absolutely blown away and shocked. I can't imagine having a heart attack. I can't imagine having someone inside my heart. It was hard enough to think of someone being in my stomach. I just don't know what to think of it all. It was fast and overwhelming. I had EXCELLENT care. My little Burkesville hospital is always amazing. They spoil me with great care. I feel blessed to have them. TJ Sampson was awesome. They took me in scared and crying. I left feeling like life can be good again. Now, with all that said, the real story is........

God is the MAN! God was with me the entire time. He took care of me, my husband, my boys, my Bob, my other family members and friends. They were all there for me. I had such an awesome group of prayer warriors, EVERYWHERE!!!

People could look at this in many lights. I choose to see it as a blessing. I know things are going to get better. I don't know how long I have here. I might be here for 2 days, 5 years or 20 or more. I want to make it good. I know who I am in God! That is the most important thing. I know that God is keeping me here for a reason. I just want to listen and do what He wants.
