I am so blessed

Well, it has been awhile. Let's see if I can tell you what has happen since my last post. On the 16th of July we went to Shreveport (about 3 1/2 hours from my home) to get a heart cath for my husband. After sitting in the waiting room all day finally got a room around 4pm to do the heart cath the next morning because did not let the lab know we were there, even after asking several times if cath lab knew we were there. Then after cath the next day we were told he was in no shape to go home and maybe not get back safely so we had to stay so they could observe him and take him off Plavix so he could have triple bypass. Well, triple bypass happened on the July 23 with great success. In the meantime I had not received my packet from National and miss the 1st conference call while sitting in the hospital. But there will be another one this month and I will be able to make it Lord willing. Stayed another week in Shreveport after the surgery. Mine you we went prepared for a night stay and spent 2 weeks. I had great people to come to my rescue. Eating all your meals in the cafeteria gets very expensive. Lord only knows how much we spent just on food. No commentary meals there. Anyway go home and we wanted to see our great granddaughter that we had not seen since her birthday on the 5th of July. So we kept her for 4 days. Took my packet to the Alz. Ass in Monroe and filled it out and faxed it. Got a call from Ruth wanting to know if I would consider being on the Alz task force for La and was and am excited. It is a great honor to be nominated by the Alz Ass and be appointed by the Governor. As Lynn my daughter said some good things have really come out of me having Alz. I just want to make sure if there is not a cure when I kids get older they will have it easier than the ones before them. Thank you Als. Ass., thank you Ruth. Mainly thank the Lord for allowing me to be able to do this. Sue
