This morning I took my wife to the ER with symptoms of what we thought to be a gall bladder issue, after some testing they informed us that she was having or had a lower heart attack and they were waiting for a helicopter to arrive to fly her to Louisville. My first thought was "you have got to be kidding me, with all my heart issues now this?" Well, it was no joke.
I watched as they loaded her onboard and took to the sky, and started making my way all the while calling family members to keep everyone informed. I got a call from her surgeon about the time i was passing LaGrange and was told she was out of surgery, it went well, and they had placed a stint. Our son, who lives in Louisville, was there to greet her as she was wheeled out of surgury.
Not the day I imagined, watching stat flight take off with your wife onboard, making the call to your son to tell him the news...none of that was on my agenda. But thats the day I got. However, the news of her being ok, the smile on her face after i finally found a parking space and made it to the room, the relief of a good laugh as she told the nurse that she was tired of me getting all the attention so she decided to have a heart attack of her own. THAT is the day I got. And I am so ever grateful!! My God is THAT God. And GREAT is His name.
Prayers are always welcome here at A Place for Benny , for there is much power in them. Yes, I ran home to take care of the cathouse...I was a little late but Axl here forgave me, for she is in good hands. They think tomorrow she will be able to come home. I guess now I can no longer blame her for my heart attack, since I apparently gave her one too...lol.
Yes, i have a twisted sense of humor.
Cherish each moment, tomorrow isnt promised.
