Hello, my FB family and friends. I have received many messages from you concerning the events of our past 3 days, and I’d like to update you and thank you for your concern and prayers. 1) Friday evening, Daddy fell from about 10’ while working in his shop. He was taken to the ER by ambulance, where he spent many hours, but he was allowed to go home with Mom caring for him. Although he is extremely sore, he is recovering. He bonked his head, hurt his left elbow, and probably tore muscles in his right shoulder and hip. He is – and always has been – a very hard-working, independent man. Thank heaven he is quite stubborn and has made up his mind that this situation will just be a temporary setback. 2) Last night Mom was also taken by ambulance to the ER for a rapid heartbeat. She was given a shot that stopped her heart for a very short period of time, then she was given additional shots to restart her heart. She was monitored for many hours, and was allowed to go home early this morning. She saw her doctor today and it is believed that this happened because of the stress she’s been under from Friday (and maybe a bit of extra caffeine). She was given medication that she can take if she begins the symptoms again. 3) I have been diagnosed with suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which has been the cause of the nightmares and anxiety I’ve suffered the past several months. Today I had the 2nd appointment with a specialist and did therapy using headphones that beep in my ears at alternating loudness, speed, and rapidness; the doctor moving his fingers back and forth; and me reciting the events of a fatal accident I helped with about 8 years ago. I had to tell all the details over and over again for an hour and a half. This therapy “desensitizes” the accident, and the doctor believes it will help me to overcome the nightmares. I would like to thank you for the private messages, texts, and phone calls on all of these things. I appreciate so much your thoughtfulness, kindness, and prayers. I love you all more than words can say.
