Things just keep changing

Well, it's great that I was so full of inspiration I've been writing blogs ahead of time, because now I've caught up, and can't put much effort into writing tonight.

It's Tues, May 19, 2020. On Friday last week I felt so bad I went to the hospital in Asheville. Turns out I had had a heart attack.

So today I got home, after having wonderful care by such a great medical and nursing staff. I have a stint now in my LAD artery in my heart.

And for all the folks who've already been through this, you know I'm wiped out.

There are wonderful people at my church, my dear friends, who will be bringing me some meals. I had a dear friend take me to the hospital (after all I had no idea it was my heart), and Helen picked me up today.

Have I got stories to share!!!

PS, I missed reading all my blog friends for 4 days, so will be catching up.

    How scarey! Our active neighbour had a stroke awhile ago and we think she will never manage to return home. It does sound, however, that the outcome for you will be much better.

    WHAT!?! I have heard so many stories of women not knowing they have had a heart attack and also doctors mis-diagnosing. Terrible time to have something like this happen, hope you are well soon!

    So very glad that this has a happy ending!
    What a terrible time to be in hospital. I had surgery in March just as we were going into lockdown. My hospital was practicing safe methods so I was not worried. The only place I have been was one follow up to my doc.

    Take care and continue to heal.
