Especially on this amazing site. Thank you Kevin, Laura and staff for making it all possible.
As a note, I have decided I don't like hospitals - there are too many sick people in there ;)
Take care all you lovely people and may God richly bless each and everyone of you. Hugs.
Praise the Lord that you are home safe and hopefully well.

Welcome back, Aussie!! I pray you are fully recovered and feeling well now. I do hope you are able to look back through all the comments from the last few days...You are very loved and were missed very much while you were gone. Many prayers were surrounding you and your husband.
Do you mind telling us what they found out about the cardiac event? My sister is battling heart problems right now also. It's a pretty scary thing to go through, and knowing what is going on seems to help.

Thank you all for your lovely comments, prayers and care. and Joyce, it didn't feel like anything I expected a heart attack to feel like. Very little pain, just like a dull ache from the left side of the chest up into the jaw, but they tell me that my heart was beating between 140-145 and normal is around 70. No damage and just put it down to an age thing, and I suppose at 74 this is a reality. Had a special test where something is fed up through the veins and a dye put in and the cardiologist said that I had the heart and arteries of a 17 year old, albeit not a very well 17 year old. Just controlled through medication and that is about all I can tell you Joyce. Not sure if it is helpful or not. Hugs

I am so sorry to hear you have been sick. I have not been on here much. Finishing up the last two weeks of school before graduation and then my vow renewal 3 days after that. I have been thinking of you all and have missed our conversations. Hopefully, I will get back on track in a few weeks. I am so thankful that you are going to be okay. Prayers for you and our whole little groups of puzzling friends.

Thank you all for the wonderful wishes. I wish you could all be there but I know deep in my heart you are. I wish I could post pictures of my wedding. Love you all, keeping you in my prayers, and best wishes for you all. God bless each one of you and may He keep His loving hedge of protection around each and everyone of you. Keep good thoughts, prayers, and thank God for all the many blessings we all have.
Very pretty! I thought at first it was in Arizona or New Mexico--then realized the American Southwest would never be this lush green. Nice to know some other places can share spectacular arches.
Did you ever visit Arches Park, Coravee. We went there last summer. We only had time for part of it but it was gorgeous.

I would love to visit it! I need knee replacements, so I don't go where much walking is required. I'm glad I can visit such beauty through these puzzles. Thanks, C4J staff!

I hope you can get those knee replacements so you won't be "grounded" anymore, Coravee.

Thanks, Pixi. I probably won't get them, as I can't tolerate morphine or codeine. And all major pain relievers, I mean the post-surgery kinds, are related to them. I had lower spinal fusion a year ago and it was a nightmare recovery. It just isn't worth it.

I can appreciate that. Sometimes the cure is worse than the problem. Maybe someday they will find an anaesthetic you can tolerate.
God made such a beautiful world
