God is Good...

Well, my weekend was interesting! My dad had a heart attack on Saturday, and if my mom hadn't found him when she did, he would have died. She had gone to a women's breakfast at church, and when she got home he was sitting in the chair as white as could be, sweating, and in GREAT pain. He was having a hard time breathing, too. So, she called my oldest brother, who is a cop, and he came to the house with lights AND sirens! For those that don't know, lights and sirens are serious! He helped my mom get my dad to the car. He didn't want to go. He said if they would leave him alone, he would be fine in a few minutes. Yeah, fine and DEAD! So, my brother escorted my mom to the ER with his lights and sirens. They put a clot buster in and airlifted him to Odessa. When he got to Odessa, they put in a stint and he was fine. The doctor kept saying how lucky he was and telling us that we don't realize how close he was to dying. If we had waited on an ambulance, he wouldn't have made it. Thank God for helicopters! The hospital in Big Spring isn't equipped to handle those types of emergiencies. He's fine, now, though. He went to work today. They unclogged the artery that was 100% blocked and will do the one that is 80% blocked on November 9th. I did not like the feeling I had on Saturday! I was very worried and scared! But, everything is fine. I would like to meet the doctor who invented the stint and give him a great big HUG, and I'm not a hugger!!

Just for Marti...

Whoever said that cleaning a house was not a work-out has never cleaned mine! I have been cleaning since 10:45 this morning and right now it is 12:45. Now I have to go OUTSIDE and do the yard. By the end of the day I will be able to say I worked out today.

I can't wait until Sunday! I get to see David. I really hope something comes from this friendship. I am trying not to hope too much, though. One let down is enough for me. Actually two. I had a serious man in college right out of high school. He turned out to be a cheating jerk who was going to school to be, of all things, a MUSIC MINISTER!!!! I must have "cheat on me" written on my forehead! I am MUCH more "mature" now though. I have experienced the crap, now it's time for the good!

Well, it's off to cut the grass!
