universe: Yeah isn't that amazing?? Heck when they put the nitro under my tongue I tried to stay calm.. and during the procedure I felt just a little tugging on my veins but, no pain what so ever.. so surreal.. they said most times they have to go through the groin, I guess I was fortunate. I know we still have to discuss what is happening with my left artery..
ScarletRose: omg through your wrist? Medical technology amazes me. They did mine through a artery in my inner thigh. I had no idea they could do so in our wrist. I'm so happy to hear your on the rebound!
I have been home for the past week. Yes, I had a heart attack that they finally acknowledged as one on Feb 8th. It was found after having them for 6 weeks and my 4th trip to the ER.. so for those who get turned away.. keep going in don't ever discount it.
They ended up finding I had 95% blockage in my Right Artery and 50% in my left Artery. They went through my wrist and put a stent in my Right after clearing out the blockage. Then last weekend on the 18th I ended up back in with nausea and not able to keep anything in. I also was having pain free attacks as though they were contractions.. if that makes any sense.. they would come on with the hot tingling sensation last for like 2 mins then go away.. and do that regularly every 15 to 20 mins.. Last Monday they went back through my wrist and the stent was still good and nothing else had changed.. so not sure what it was but, I have been fine ever since. Thank you all for your continued prayers and thoughts..
It is with a heavy heart that I pass on this sad news... I learned today that my friend Randi (Mary Ann) Richards passed away this morning. Randi suffered from Alzheimer's. God has blessed her by releasing her from this world with her broken body and mind and promoting her into the Glory of His Kingdom. We will miss you Randi!
Merry Christmas to all my Christian friends and non-believers alike. Also keep my youngest step-daughter and her newly born baby boy in prayer as he came into the world last night after a scare earlier in the day. God bless.
Let's all think about the people killed and injured in Nice, in France and send out positive thoughts that those injured make a good and speedy recovery.
Went to the hospital today. My wife has a broken bone in the top of her foot and is off work for the immediate future. So pray for her healing and that we find a way to cover her lost income during this time.
Almighty God, it appears that our world never tires of wars and rumors of wars, where violence and terrorism seem to be the rule rather than the exception. Place your protecting hand over the men and women serving in the armed forces as they find themselves in places of danger and unrest. Steady their hearts and minds, and use their service to bring moments of peace and stability to our world so that the gospel may be shared to every tribe, people, and nation. Amen.
Please pray for my wife as she has been sick the last couple of days and still working through it. She does a good job in taking care of the both of us. Hoping she gets well quickly.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. I will be calling my mom today as she is computer illiterate and can't see me here. Moms are truly a blessing from the Lord. They teach us so much and love their children unconditionally regardless of what they do. Moms give up so much of themselves and go without in many cases so their kids do not have to go without. So whether your mom is alive or has passed on take the time today to thank her for all she has provided for you. God Bless.
Special Mother’s Day prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for the amazing gift of mothers. Help us truly appreciate all that mothers do as they care and nurture their children and families in ways that model your unconditional love. Thank you especially for the loving care and nurture that I received from my own mother that I often take for granted. Be with mothers everywhere as they carry out your loving purpose, and carry their burdens when they feel stressed and overwhelmed. Continue to strengthen them physically and spiritually as they care for their children who you love so very much. Amen.
Brian1971: I'm sorry Brian, but this board was originally set up for offering prayers to each other. You are really approaching the area of "sermonizing". I thought the once a week idea was very reasonable. If you can't abide by that, I'm going to have to ask you to stop completely. Thanks.
