OK, my turn...

My sweet Marcia is in the hospital. This past Sunday morning she woke with a bad headache and a red blot in her field of vision- apparently a blood vessel had burst in her left eye. So, Monday she saw her optometrist, who confirmed things and also noted her blood pressure was way too high.
A visit to the clinic and a new prescription for 10mg Lisinopril Monday, also, and a visit to her eye surgeon scheduled for Tuesday.

The eye surgeon also confirmed the bleed, which hadn't stopped yet, and he went ahead and performed a Lasik cauterization, fixed it. When told that she has no insurance and would be paying out of pocket, the blessed doctor waived the surgical fee and the lab fees, about $1600 worth.
Pray for and praise this man, a certain Dr. Cole, to whom we'll always be indebted in spirit. (I'll be bringing him a Fleming's gift card, an assortment of fine libations, and other stuff soon.)

OK, last night: As we were going to bed, suddenly she said she was feeling a heaviness in her chest, dizziness, and just badly. BP had spiked 190/110, off to the ER we go at 1am. There it went to 225/115 or a bit higher- aspirin and nitroglycerin were administered. I finally got home at 5am.

As I write this they're doing a isotope dye stress test, about 2-3 hours long, and they're keeping her until tomorrow AFAIK. She's in OK spirits, but grumpy/hungry/86'ed caffeine and nicotine, patches and needles galore, and so on.

I'm so over this past week and a half I can't tell ya. Other than my TWoS trip, which was a tonic to my soul, I/we need some GOOD stuff to happen. Life's a bitch sometimes, I tell ya.

Now I gotta get something to eat. She'll be OK, but... we'll be changing things up quite a bit around here.

Wow, Brad; that sucks. I'll pray for Marcia, and I hope that she, and everything else gets better quickly.

Keep us informed, as things go.

Thoughts and prayers are with you and Marcia.

Knowing people like Dr. Cole are in this world is what makes life worthwhile.

Praying for Marcia and you. I'm asking for a blessing on Dr. Cole too.

I am slack at times in reporting on God's blessings. I'll start with Butchy. He passed away. He was over 50 and had enough time and the desire to get right and ready for the next world prior to passing. I thank every one for their prayers.

Now for the ongoing miracle, My pastor had a stroke a week ago. ambulance got to his house as he went completely out. Took him to the hospital so fast that they left their gear behind. Doctor had family come in and say their last bit to him as he was unconscious. His wife agreed to the injection of meds. that could finish or possible help him. 10 or 15 minutes later his eyelid twitched and the nurses and doctor started giggling. The doc put his arm around Pastor's wife and explained that it was the first time they had seen the meds. work. They were all used to watching the patients in that condition die. He is expected to make a full recovery. Besides praying for him and his family, Please, Praise God for being God.

Thanks so much, my friends.

At this writing, she's been home about an hour, just got out of the shower. Earlier today we thought she'd have to stay until tomorrow...

After all the tests, blood taken, cardio stress tests, you name it, the doctor said her heart/lungs/et cetera all check out, nothing terribly wrong except high blood pressure. Apparently the compounded stress levels she/we've experienced since 3/27 precipitated last night's episode... so now we're working VERY hard at relaxing!

I thank you all again for your kind words and prayers, and good mojo. What makes the world go around is the care, kindness, and help we all get from our friends in times of need. I honestly thought she was about to have a heart attack... praise be to God, she's OK.

You guys are awesome.

Bu the way . . . you've only been around here for 11 years so you're kind of a new comer. But . . here's the way it works. If you need help in a situation like this . . ASK.

The entire Buell community, and Badweb in particular is a lot like the USMC . . . .we don't leave each other behind. We have an extensive network of folks all over. Ya get in a bind and need help . . . let us know.

Now . . tell Marcia to relax . . . go plop yourownself on your ass and be thankful for your blessings.

We are.

This is great news.

Wow Brad. Glad to hear the outcome. I know Marcia is your life force as much as Anne is to Glitch.

May the blessings of each to the other continue for a long future for all of you.

"By the way . . . you've only been around here for 11 years so you're kind of a new comer."

LOL! And now that I think of it, heck, it's been years since I even owned a Buell!

Well said, Mr. Canfield. And thanks again, my friend.
