I am so glad you are ok, and I enjoyed your story. You always put humor in your stories, but that is who you are. So positive and uplifting and you just put humor in everything. I think that's why I love you so much.<br /><br />I hope you are enjoying your Christmas season. I'm a bit behind. I've been working, and life has been a bit crazy. Louie got fired after 24 years and 7 months at the same job, and then the water heater decided to pour over 20 gallons on my quilting room floor (it THEN got relocated to the lower bathroom, and went from gas to electric because of the venting), and then my van wouldn't start one day, and he fixed that, thinking it was the fuel pump relay, but a week later, it quit again, so he was my go-to guy for finding parts and a shop to fix it, so between fixing things and looking for jobs, we have been a bit crazy. He put up the tree for me, but it still isn't decorated, and no gifts are wrapped, but life is good, and God is ever faithful! <br />Love you,<br />MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994575359990994574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-35032396905376976402015-12-09T10:29:55.977-06:002015-12-09T10:29:55.977-06:00holey moley...how did I miss this post! it is so ...holey moley...how did I miss this post! it is so dramatic and scary reading it in it's entirety.

It`s nice to read a perspective from somebody taking part in the ride. I`ve been in the back, just not as a patient. <br /><br />How is your brother?

Thank you also for your report on the experience in the back of the ambulance. I do not remember that clearly my own ride. Except for the IV (which they smartly did before I got into the ambulance, but sucked at just the same), the shaking I did and the nice ambulance guy that laid over my legs to keep them still. He was a smoker and I could smell that! I decided to keep it to a one time experience. I hope you will too!Heleen Groothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07713665613409062238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-951824566124994062015-11-13T22:14:16.804-06:002015-11-13T22:14:16.804-06:00Ooh, yikes, Marlene!
