I need an ablation. I am to the point that if I don't get a response by next week I am going to Texas where Baylor Heart Institiute as an outstanding record. Arkansas is a poor and mostly rural state, not as poor as Mississippi, but we usual appear at the bottom of many kinds of list as a desirable place to live, unless you enjoy a rugged lifestyle.<br /><br />My prayers Mac problem is under control.<br /> My husband is insurance double covered where he can use VA or civilian facilities. I am adequately covered with Medicare and TriCare for Life if they accept assignment. Many physicians are already rejecting Medicare patients.<br /><br />Glad your son spoke up. sometimes you gotta have backups and sounds like he is a great one!!!NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412565310065277929.post-82062433554072218482011-01-31T03:31:59.456-05:002011-01-31T03:31:59.456-05:00You have been in thoughts all along.

And later, when things are better, it's hard to describe to others how you felt. The emotions can't be explained. I am so glad Mac is better now!

Yes we pray for others when they are going through tough times and there are times that we feel that God has answered us and not others.... BUT it is from the prayers that we are strengthened.. Had it not been for the prayers of my blog friends the past few months I would have crumpled onto the floor in a heap! <br /><br />Losing Mom and Dad just 72 days apart and after caring for them for 8 years I did not know if I would make it through..... The grief is still so very great that there are days that I do not think I can function...... YET we pray..... I read other blogs and hear of such heartache and I cry and pray........ <br /><br />How wonderful that HE has given us the gift of prayer so that in blessing we are blessed..... <br /><br />I am thankful that your sweet husband is well......I will continue to pray for him and his complete healing.......<br /><br />Sending blessing for the week before you.........Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12492336975389718296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412565310065277929.post-5412540656567412962011-01-09T14:07:07.023-05:002011-01-09T14:07:07.023-05:00Oh dear Sandi, I am sitting here crying for you an...Oh dear Sandi, I am sitting here crying for you and Mac.

My dad passed away in Nov,2010 after being ill for many months. I thought I was prepared but alas, I was not. Getting back together with my blogging friends has truly helped me ! Sending many prayers to you and Mac.
