Many thanks for your kind words folks!
I think I should provide more subject to this matter as after meeting Ted the plot continues to thicken. Lol
Five weeks after the heart attack, my doctors were amazed at the progress I had made. Back to work in two weeks if progress continues...they wanted me to "push it" in cardiac-rehab. So I pushed it, which got me new pains but always much later. Excruciating pain before going to sleep at night. A call to my cardiologist got me a visit to E.R. guess who was my attending nurse...yep Ted.
My Dr. wanted tests run, and a nuclear stress test which meant an overnight stay. I was bummed but Ted talked with me and brought a bit of calm back. Next day I was found to have an irregularity in my heart. So a trip to Peoria most likely for re-stenting. Bummed doesn't begin to explain my feelings. I called the kennel where Bella (my baby) goes to school and got her boarding squared away while we would be out of town. Mrs H, our youngest daughter the nurse and a friend were chatting when a knock at the door turned our heads. It was Ted!
Not just checking up on me, he told me not to worry about Bella, she's in good hands. We we're all dumbfounded. How did he know this? He said his wife assured him Bella is like family! Turns out Ted's wife works at the kennel we used for years! Ok went and got re-stented, came home bummed because I didn't know how to fight this, especially since the drs. we're baffled. I'm not a real religious man, but I believe. But I was questioning everything. So I needed to search for answers from a new perspective, I googled non-denominational churches in our area and picked one. The next Sunday we went. It was very different from our church but refreshing none the less. All of a sudden I recognized someone walking up to the dais, it was Ted! He gave a very enlightening sermon. It turns out that he is an assistant pastor! So as you can see, this man popped into my life and saved me, and he keeps popping back in. I have questioned why I survived when I was told I shouldn't have, at least the odds we're not favorable. But I guess I must have a special purpose to complete, and I'm guessing Ted and I are going to be sharing more than our birthdays down the road! The future looks bright!
Sorry to be so long winded about this, but I thought it is so thought provoking that I would share!
Peace....
