I dont think I can thank everyone individually for their prayers, concerns, phone calls to mama... etc. so forgive me for making this a broad message... Thanks for all the above... Yesterday was a whopper for sure... Was up at 4am.. yesterday... went for my normal walk at 5:15am... Voted... came home and sat here at the computer to get an address of a friend. I felt it coming on... and could feel and hear my pulse in my ears and neck... Knew it was coming... and then felt the pulse rate drop. Got up front and unlocked the door and set it ajar... Was lightheaded and dizzy.. Sat down... Took measurements with my meters and it was in the 40s and one time.. 35. (I know when in afib the numbers arent very accurate... but when taking it manually and filtering out the rapid beats... it was still in the 40s... Was on the phone... became out of breath and couldnt talk in complete sentences.. Hung up and called 911 for the 1st time ever. Dont remember much after that... they transported me and everything was a blur. All I remember was gasping for air... they gave me oxygen and something to slow my heart rate... Dont remember much but my constant begging forgiveness for causing such a stir... But they told me to hush... that I was in real trouble. And then the Holy of Cows!!! They put something in the IV that made Daddy calm down big time... Finally my breathing became normal and my heart jumped back in sync. Imagine my surprise and appreciation of looking up and there stood my sweetheart within an hour of my arrival... and then a little while later.. my son Robert all the way from Havelock, N.C., my daughter Laurie from Rocky Mount.. and later my son William from Advance, N.C.! Guess I did cause a stir for sure! Mama sent out messages... my daughter in law Jenny put forth a prayer chain... and I even was given a chance to share my faith with a couple of attendants while laying there! Thank you to everyone... I know I didnt say thank you to God first here... but He was my every thought yesterday as always! Im extremely tired and worn today... all that took the wind out of my sail.. Couldnt walk but just a little and very slow this morning and shouldnt have gone.... The ladies lapped me twice and I finally just gave up. Tired still and dont think Im going to do much today... have a full day of phone calls to wait on. And even when I started this thank you... I could still feel it wanting too. Lazy day to day.. and perhaps tomorrow too!
